A Little Structure is Good for You: Lately, I have been feeling pretty bored with bags. The worn-in slouchy leather purse is a great standby, but I have had a hankering for something new. Over at the Facehunter I began to notice a handful of cute European boys sporting some rather debonair man-bags. Then, I noticed a couple of adorable ladies with uber-structured purses, and I knew this was my answer. Luckily, I found an amazing, barely-used shiny leather beauty from the 70's at a local vintage shop. I feel a bit like I'm carrying a mini-briefcase, and the handle is soft and a perfect length (hits my hips). I am going to have to get used to the fact that I can't just shove my hand inside and easily rifle around like I do in my softer, roomier bags, but it will keep me a bit more organized. The red and gold strip on the front flap gives it just a hint of Ivy-League, and the androgynous factor makes it even more appealing somehow. Yay for something different!
Now that I look at it, maybe it's not even real leather...oh well, that's even better. No wonder it was so inexpensive!
