In the moments that I haven't been working, I've been thinking about what fall essentials I know I'll need. Fall/winter fashion needs tend to cost more and be investments that you keep around, versus the flip flops and t-shirts of summer, so I wanted to do my research. I knew I'd need a new purse because I've carried my current fall/winter purse for at least 2 years and it's starting to show (especially since I don't get the really fancy kinds that are meant to last that long). This decision threw me into way too deep of a thought trail about what I want my style in life to be. I'll spare you that now, but expect to hear it later.
I decided that I wanted more of a western purse with a slight edge. I was also wanting to go back to a cross-body style. At the same time, I am a grown up now so I can't be too trendy. I looked at pretty much every website out there for something I'd like and comparing prices. I wound up going with a Jessica Simpson purse. Yes, I said Jessica Simpson. I can't help myself - I secretly like her. It's a complicated relationship. Thankfully, this one was on sale plus an extra 20% off. This is very important because it turns out that my taste has become much more expensive since I last bought a purse. The unexpected surprise of this purse is that it has a leopard print lining, which really cracks me up. I'm pretty sure I'll laugh inside every time I open it.
Here's what I went with. It's totally a new color for me. I was very nervous when I opened it at the UPS station yesterday because I saw a similar purse on a person after I ordered this - and it was neon yellow - which really scared me that the online picture was not accurate and I had ordered a neon orange purse. Thankfully, it is a sunset color, just as it is named. And, I really like it. If you don't like it - don't tell me ;).
