I could count on one hand the pairs of shoes I've bought that cost more than this purse. Well... less than two hands, at least, during my whole lifetime ;-) But never a purse. Even tho' I carry a bag of some sort every day & tend to put a ton of
The last two have been from Marshalls & DSW, faux leather, around $30 each. Lasted pretty well tho', about 2 years per. And I'm not a purse-switcher -- too much trouble, except for evening bags. I will use the same purse for months, if not a year.
Hopefully, this fancy-dancy purse will last a good, long time & prove a worthy investment!
loooove the pop of purple! and super cute new purse! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove those tights!
ReplyDeleteI also bought a very expensive black purse recently - I'm so not a purse woman, but like you, I need a big black one to carry all my crap in, and I always want to make sure it's good quality. For the amount of time I wear it, it's worth it to me to spend more.
Yours looks like great quality!
You know me, and you know what a shameless expensive purse-whore I am. :)
ReplyDeleteThat said, I totally love J.Simpson's purse and shoe lines. I know, not very fashion snob of me, but face it - the girl puts her name on some really great stuff that's made well and her shoes are fabulous and comfortable. So, I completely support your purse buy!
Thanks all! I must have poked at every single purse in Macys last weekend, from the cheapest to the most expensive, & this one was the winner. Carried it around all yesterday, including to the drugstore where I put a bunch of purchases in it easily. I think I'm in love :-)
