I look like a lady with my grownup purse. It took me a long time to pick out a style, brand and color. I went with a brown slim mini-briefcase with tote-length handles. I can sling it over my shoulder or carry it like a briefcase. I bought it used, from eBay, the only way I could afford a leather Coach bag. It’s in good condition – I like that it looks worn and weathered, like I’ve been traveling with it for a long time. It’s a great shape and holds my little apple laptop perfectly, with room for my power cord, a small notebook, wallet, phone and assorted lip balms and gum. When I’m not toting my computer, the bag can hold some files and books.
The justification for this purchase: I’m hoping a touch of sophistication will inspire me to move ahead in my work life. Now that I carry a Coach bag, I should have a job that makes this bag a necessity instead of a splurge.
Most of my google/yahoo search referers are people looking for arm warmers; how to make them and where to buy them. I declare Swans’ style page a success!
