Purses On My Mind!

I'm ready for the weekend! Just one more day to go! It's been a long week! Not sure what we will do for the weekend I'm just looking forward to it no matter what we decide to do.

Since my mom's visit is just days away I'm continuing to think of things we can do while she's here. We certainly have to have a mall day! That's a must! I want a new purse! I get a new purse every year for my birthday. It might not sound that exciting but it is to me.

I'm not like a lot of women that have a purse for every occasion. I get one purse and I use it for a full year no matter where I go. As a youngster I grew up around a mom and grandmother that always changed purses before going to church. To get me in on the act my grandmother gave me one of her old purses it was truly fancy in my opinion. A black all beaded purse with a clasp closure at the top, the purse was carefully formed into a perfect circle. The purse held my little tiny Bible and a pencil. I felt so grown-up carrying that purse into church each week. Now as an adult if my grandmother knew I never change purses before attending church she would likely roll her eyes and give a slight sigh! Oh and a certain look would definitely come my way!

This time around with my new purse though I am searching for one that isn't quite as casual looking as my current purse that way it will be a little more appropriate at all functions. I'm not that into animal print but I've noticed animal print and animal textures are popular this year. Despite not being that into animal print/textures I must say my favorite purse in recent years was a crocodile textured purse that had a glossy sheen to it. The color was unique too, it was a very workable color with a hint of a wine color. Man, I loved that purse it felt classy and casual all at the same time! That's my style! I loved that purse so much I kept it for 2 years instead of just 1.
