Yeah, so @Anntastic23 and I were discussing purses this past week... and how we prefer our favorite designers, but then also how we would sometimes rather carry our less known designer purses. Why, you might ask? Why would we want to do that? Well, the idea of having something that is intriguing to the unknown eye is always a plus.. also, the unknown designers, who produce some of the best quality purses and other accessories in the market place can also give you that edge amongst your friends that separates you. *gasp!* How dare you separate from the "pack"! I know... so wrong! *Ginormous freakin' eye roll*
That is simply the idea. Be different. Embrace that edge. Run to that edge as fast as you can. Put away the *coughsCoachcoughs* bags that everyone else and their four year old daughter has to match. Put them all away. Better yet, give them to charity or Ebay them so you can buy new under-the-radar bags.
With all that said... I was at my moms house not too long ago, and I found this jewel. Yeah. You may love it. You may hate it and call me a complete fashion moron. Whatever. At least I'm not sporting the same bag as everyone else on the block or the next two tweens walking past you on the street. Really, how cool are you? Yeah.. I went there.
I give you, the 80's vintage find from Chez Mama ShoeWhore...

I get all my sparklypantz genes from my mama.


How can you not love that it's double-sided?!
You can't not love how delightfully tacky this bag is.. cross-body.. loaded with grommets.. amazing jewel tones.. leather.. great cinch-up bucket bag.. it's all sorts of WIN! I can't wait to rock it out! I actually can't believe she let it go! Wait till the hooker sees me wearing it. Then she'll totally want it back. Pffft. Like that'll happen.
