Eavesdropping at the Preds Game

The game should have been too exciting for me to pay attention to the attendees around me. We had gotten tickets on the ice, literally right behind that clear plastic partition. But the game seemed to drag on forever, with no one scoring or getting into a tussle of any kind. After my second drink I started to occupy my time by listening to the intensely colorful woman behind me scream, "Git 'er Done!" every couple minutes. In between that overused phrase, she herself was commenting about the people around her to anyone who would listen.
There was one particular comment she made that really stood out to me. After seeing a girl pass by with a Coach bag on her shoulder, she leaned over to her husband and let him know how much she admired the bag. She then informed him that you could only purchase those purses in New York for $1,000. While most of you know that isn't the case, what struck me as horrifying was the realization of how truly horrible the Nashville market is in relation to designer accessories.
I've heard rumors that the old Wild Oats in Green Hills is about to be converted into a Nordstrom, but I can't even fathom that happening. The closest Chanel dealer to us is in Atlanta, but even the retailers in this area that carry designer bags don't have the most current lines, with the exception of Louis Vuitton. I seriously hope that more options come to Nashville soon. We have the money, the desire, and the need for it!
