Even before I had anything I needed to carry around, I loved purses. I'd fill them with my bug-catching supplies and scratch-n-sniff stickers, and I always felt like an adult with something on my scrawny arm.
I still get just as excited about a new addition to my purse collection (I got this green tote for Christmas), but now I lug around boring stuff like aspirin, tampons, and credit cards. Nothing screams adult quite like feminine hygiene products and debt... and medication to deal with the headaches from both.

Ah!! Really!?!?! Thank you so much!!! That just made my day!
ReplyDeleteI love your coat. This whole outfit is really quite fantastic. I love the way you paired burnt orange and dark green. You look lovely! And I was the same way with purses when I was little. Somehow they just made me feel so much more grown up. Haha, my purse is full of all that boring adult stuff too.
Ah, so cute! I was a purse girl too. I also wouldn't take off my patent leather shoes......doesn't work so well when you're playing basketball. :) love you coat today and the pop of orange is great!

Haha yes an adult's handbag contents are far less fun than a child's. I love the photo of you when you were little, very cute. As for todays outfit, I love the scarf and the trousers and of course the bag!

ReplyDeleteohh I love the colors in this one! I'm typically kinda iffy on polkadot pants, but I love the way these look!
ReplyDeleteWith Luck
Aww you already had such an eye for fashion when you were little! I would carry around a purse too when I was younger and all I would put in it was makeup and fake credit cards, haha. Love the snakeskin on your tote!

LOL Just wait until you have kids! You wouldn't believe the things I have in my purses. I thought about doing a funny version of what's in my bag on my blog to have one that doesn't include Dior eyeshadow or anything. Perhaps you have inspired me to do so . . .
ReplyDeleteI love when you do the fashion flashbacks--I know I tell you this every time but it is true. You were such a cute kiddo! I love the orange heels and jeans (are those studded or polka dot? either way, I love 'em!).
I adore your handmade cowls. They look so cozy and warm, without being too bulky! Your Fashion Flashbacks totally crack me up, too.
ReplyDeletetheoriginalbrynn.blogspot.com
I love a new purse too! It's my favorite thing ever really. I love that you have a picture of yourself holding a purse when you were little!!
ReplyDeleteLove your orange cowl!!
I love the color of your scarf and shoes. What a super cute outfit. I designed a desktop wallpaper with the exact same pants. Check it out: http://lynnandlou.blogspot.com/2012/10/pastel-mints-ensemble-desktop-wallpaper.html

Ha, your posts always crack me up. :) I was never into purses as a kid which I'm sure is why I carry the same one around for a year until it falls apart.

This is seriously adorable. I love how many photos you have of yourself as a (stylish) little girl! Best wishes from CA!
ReplyDeleteAww, seriously so cute. I love the green and orange colors you chose. That bag looks SUPER handy. I'm finding none of my bags are big enough these days, so I need to start looking into totes.
ReplyDeleteI love love love love love your coat. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha you were such a cute kid! I wasn't as into bags as a kid, but I really had a thing for crop tops for whatever reason...it was weird. I absolutely love this new tote of yours, and the olive-orange combo is retro-esque in the best way possible!

Ok, those jeans are insanely cute. I walked right past them in GAP, thinking they weren't that great, but now that I see them on you, they're wonderful! Brb, I need to go shopping.
ReplyDeleteSo, let me get this straight.... I'm not supposed to carry scratch-n-sniff stickers anymore? Dammit!
ReplyDeleteEverything you wear orange I just love it on you. :)
I use to throw random stuff into purses as a kid too..lol Now I have all the boring stuff you mentioned Those jeans are awesome!

Is that coat kind of . . . mint-ish? It's really nice. Like, way-too-nice-to-wear-on-the-subway-EVER nice.
ReplyDeleteAs a kid, I used to carry around a purse with my mom's unneeded credit cards in it, usually store ones for places like JC Penney. It was always fun when I left my purse behind in some restaurant and a stranger would call us up to ask if we wanted it back. Because it was Ohio, and people did that sort of thing.
You were such a freaking adorable kid! And I love your cowl, so pretty xo
ReplyDeleteI love your coat and shoes. And you were absolutely adorable!

You were such a cutie when you were little! I think I need to start doing fashion flashback pictures, because my mom has SO Many pictures of me when I was little dressing up in girly things, and I haven't changed that much.
ReplyDeleteI love your shoes with an undying love that might even result in thievery.
Or... just longing stares and wishes that I could teleport them to me.
Very cute pants!

Outside of a warehouse. Pretty cool, huh?! I know, I want to take them home :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! They're polka dots.
ReplyDeleteYou always take pictures in the coolest locations. What even are those giant boxes behind you?!
ReplyDeleteAnd 100% yes to the purses. I'm a giant tote kind of girl (except for shopping days, then I need a crossbody). I was walking into work the other day and a boy coworker asked me what I was lugging around in "my luggage". Yes, he called my precious leather tote luggage! The nerve.
love these jeans!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this look on you!
