"The finest clothing made is a person's skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this. " ~Mark Twain
There was a purse is the hotel lobby gift shop that caught my eye. Is it cute? I don't know... a little too flashy for me.... but I need to move on from the diaper bag..........I wish Heidi was here so I could ask her....... well, I'll just be spontaneous and get it.
I brought my purse home to the family:
"That is so not you - It's so cute" (Heidi)
"Whose purse is that? It's not your style" (Mom)
Then a couple of days later at Target Preston wrinkled up his nose, pointed and said:
"Whose purse is THAT?"
"It's mine"
"I don't like it - I like the blue one"
Then not even 10 minutes later something happened that never before has happened in my 30 years of life. A fashionable type woman walked by and said,
"what an adorable purse"
Those 4 words made me speechless.
Is she talking to me? I looked down at the purse and then up:
"Thank you SO VERY MUCH"
and I skipped down to the vitamin aisle.
Me. Purse compliment.
I came home and told Tom I was cool now.
One notch up from the Harry Potter nerd ladder he said.
Yes it is - a big step for me.

Way to go Heath. I LOVE your new purse. The day will come when you will have to ask no one if they like it. It won't matter as long as you like it. From the purse and shoe and jewel hog......Aunt Denny

LOL I love this post too. That is a cute purse and I think it fits you! I'm not really a purse person, but a couple of years ago I wanted to find one that was more stylish because I had to face the fact that i was getting older and I couldn't carry around wallets or backpack type purses anymore. So while we were in San Francisco I went to China Town and bought me a Coach knock-off set. LOL. Yep. And for about a year I felt completely hip and stylish carrying it around, until I realized how fake it actually looked. Hahaha.
that's MY purse story.
