Found: My New Perfect Purse

I don’t need to dream about a new purse, like I do a pretty camera bag because this weekend I bought the perfect purse for me – and for only $17.99 at TJ Maxx.  My old purse was a gorgeous mustard colored leather purse heavily discounted at Wilson Leather that I bought two summers ago.  It is not worn, but it was time for a change.  I have learned I don’t like purses with two compartments split by a zippered pocket.  I just throw things in there with no rhyme or reason and have such a hard time finding things when they are spread out between two compartments.  I wanted a sturdy purse that would stand by itself, that had a pretty vintage feel to it, and that had enough pockets on the inner sides to hold womanly items, my phone, my ipod, and whatever else there was room for.  I had been looking for a couple months (not steadily mind you) and finally found the perfect one that meets all the requirements.

It zips close much like a clutch purse closes with a mouth that opens very wide but closes and folds (I don’t know how else to explain it), so it can hold a lot and is easy to get into but folds up to close really nicely.  I couldn’t find this exact purse online, but it’s a Liz Claiborne New York purse that is fabulous in my opinion.  San can’t make fun of me for buying a new purse every couple months since I haven’t purchased a new on in almost two years.  I’m hoping this one will last a long time – I love it!

What kind of purse do you carry?
