She claimed she was going to be less ostentatious in demonstrating her wealth in the wake of her traumatic Paris robbery.
However that seemed to have slipped her mind when she flaunted the fact she and daughter North had matching designer handbags on social media on Thursday.
The extremely wealthy reality television personality could not help but boast to her legion of followers about the expensive free gift sent to her four-year-old daughter by Alexander Wang.

The 36-year-old shared a snap of a handwritten note from the American designer which read: ‘North, got you matching bags with mommy. Hope you love.’
The fuzzy little handbag has yet to be listed as being available, but even his current children’s line pieces cost as much as $1,000.
Classy Kim was no doubt hoping to regale her millions of adoring fans by sharing a sweet snap of her latest expensive consumer item.
And they in turn were surely pleased that their idol, who is worth an estimated $175 million, had got her hands on a prestigious freebie.
Of course hard-working Kim, who rakes in a fortune by making what are surely gruelling public appearances at parties and other endorsements, earns every penny.

Kim’s use of social media to flaunt her wealth, particularly a photo that showed off a massive diamond ring her husband Kanye West bought her, was cited by police as a reason she was targetted by robbers.
She was left devastated after held at being gunpoint, tied up and robbed of $10 million in jewellery, including the infamous bauble, in Paris last year.
Back in April she told Ellen the incident was making her rethink accessorising, saying: ‘It’s not to say I’ll never wear jewellery again or anything like that. I truly don’t know if I’d ever feel comfortable.’
The aftermath has been a long-running storyline on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and in a new teaser she is shown sobbing down the phone to her Girls Gone Wild pornographer pal Joe Francis.

The mother-of-two wept as she said she had serious safety concerns about being at friend Joe Francis’ home in Punta Mita, Mexico.
As she sobbed she told him on the phone: ‘I just have anxiety. Are you sure it’s safe here?’
Former jailbird Joe told her: ‘Look, I went through the same thing. I promise you it’s safe. I have my kids there. It’s safe.’
Back in 2011 he brought a group of three women to his home and ended up being charged with three misdemeanor counts of false imprisonment, one of assault causing great bodily injury, and one of dissuading a witness. He was convicted on all charges in 2013.
