It never hurts to splurge on yourself every now and then, especially if you happen to be a GRAMMY-winning, Hollywood-certified triple threat like Coco Jones.

In this week’s “My First Time,” the Bel-Air actress took us back to a time when she had to actually be pressured into dropping dollars on a designer bag for herself. That alone says a lot when considering her chokehold on the fashion game as of late, popping up everywhere from the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree lighting in NYC (seen above) to her eye-grabbing transformation into Donna Summer this past Halloween dressed to nines each and every time.

It also appears that in the time since she’s learned what it means to “treat yo’self” when it comes to accessorizing, wouldn’t you agree?
