Fashion Friday- Coach Factory Store

Hooray it’s Friday!  It’s been a pretty heavy week with the sadness in Boston and in Texas.  My prayers go out to all of the families affected by these horrific events.  It certainly puts all of my silly soccer issues into perspective and I am very grateful for the health of my family and friends.

As I’ve talked about before, I have a serious obsession with bags and purses.  It seems like I’m always on a quest to have the perfect bag for every occasion.  I think it may be a sickness.  All my time on the soccer field plays a major factor in my selecting process- who wants to spend serious cash on a bag that you are going to throw on the grass?

My newest answer is the Coach Factory Store.  I’ve always liked Coach bags, but as I said, I’m not willing to pay that kind of money to have a ruined bag.  Even though most of my purses I receive as gifts (thanks mom!) I still don’t want to ruin a super expensive bag.  Enter the Coach Factory Store.

The Factory Store is essentially the on-line outlet store for Coach.  Are they the same exact designs as what you’d find in your department store?  Not necessarily, but they are definitely Coach and definitely cute and you can’t beat the prices.  With a regular section and a clearance sections, most of the bags run between $100-$150.  My purse for summer is a bright yellow tote of embossed patent leather- the grass, dirt and sand will hopefully just wipe off.

The site is membership only, but it’s very easy to join.  Just a warning though- it’s addicting!  As I’m writing this post, I had to sternly tell myself that there would be no shopping today.  Things often move quickly, so if you see something you really can’t live without, it’s best to order it right away.  Here’s just a couple of things that caught my eye…
