SO CHIC!

 Yes, it's that time of year again! You know...that re-tool-in-the-purse- department time of year...
I resolved this Fall to DOWNSIZE. I really don't need a big, floppy purse to "disguise" my hips any longer or to "balance out" my former pear shape. And I don't carry a lot of junk in my purse these days...just the basics. So a shopping expedition to TJ MAXX was in order. Would they have some smaller purses like the ones showing up in all the fashion pages?  

 Sooo lucky was I! I spied this beauty right away after I hit the purse department. It is REAL leather and the leopard print is on cow hair. It's soft and furry. The zippers are heavy duty and the short strap just fits perfectly on my shoulder or I can just tuck the bag under my arm. So no more purse flopping around in the car seat! And it's just the right size, about 12" x 8". 

It has outside zippered compartments front and back (a must for me for keys and glasses). And it goes with my new, chic look, being animal print! Ah, those Italians know what I like! It's handmade in Rimini, Italy by Valentina. Ciao bella!
