New Purse

You aren't going to find me posting about many fashion type things. I do not have confidence in my choice of fashion. I like some looks and I like some looks on me. I wish I had an eye for funky, somewhat, but not too, trendy clothing and accessories. I know I could do it on a budget, but I have a very hard time shopping for clothes for myself. First, I often can not even justify getting clothes for myself when it is a really good deal and I need it and can afford it. Second, I rarely have an opportunity to try anything on and I almost never get something for myself without trying it on. Third, I still haven't lost all of my baby weight and I am not at all pleased with how I look in anything, most of the time, so why buy cute clothes to put on a funny body. Ok, so that is a slight insight to the workings of my strange mind.

Which brings me to my purse. Isn't that what you were thinking of next?

It took me until my very late teens to even start carrying a purse. Even then I would try to find something very neutral and non girly. I think my favorite one was a grey camera bag. I even took it on my mission. It carried 2 paperback Books of Mormon, my flip chart and discussions book perfectly. I have been trying to get more girly and more fashionable purses as the years progress. I am not the type of person to have more than one purse at a time. I get used to one, use it until it falls apart and then look for months to find a replacement. Besides having to have all the right features and being able to see myself carrying the purse, it has to be inexpensive. I prefer to find one that is on sale so that I know it was at least made half decently, but I don't have to pay that price.

                              For the last 2-3 years I have been using this purse

I got it on sale for either $3 or $5

I actually still really like it and it isn't falling apart at all. However it holds everything perfectly, which means there is no room for anything extra. So when we go somewhere and the Husband needs to stash his wallet and phone, it doesn't work. Plus it is starting to do this

I admit to the possibility of having bad fashion sense, but I am positive that this looks trashy. I love a good deal and I am all for using things until they fall apart, but I really like things not to look like they are falling apart.

Here is my new replacement

It was on sale for $12

It is pink.

The Husband is on the fence. He knows I am not a pink person. I have been trying to be more girly, ever since we got married. I think I can do it. I like the style and the size and the features. I would have been more comfortable with green. Oh well, it is good for me to get out of my comfort zone.

I think it is good for me to have pink. I am not sure why.
