Purse
I fought against the big purse trend for a long time. And now I have one. And it’s a big purse that was not bargain though it is pretty Italian leather fashioned in a classic square shape. I resisted the trend because I knew myself and knew I would cram it full of unnecessary stuff. Crap, if you will.
