A Long-Time Coming, Difficult Conversion

Hello Readers. I have a new friend for you to meet.

Readers, my first purse. Purse, my readers.
















Ain't she pretty? Okay, now that we've gotten the formalities are out of the way, on with the story.

For the past, well...basically my entire life, I have sworn up and down that I was just not a purse-user. Whether they were too girly, or what, I'm not exactly sure. They just weren't my thing. But, after mulling this option over for quite a while I've finally decided to withdraw my "I'll never get a purse" choice for a bit of practicality.

I had a few necessary specifications in my purse of choice and this one came out on top in all categories.

• Space -- Enough room to hold my phone, camera, new small and sleek planner, and a wallet (which I still haven't bought because I haven't found one that I like, but this purse has plenty of room).
• Organization -- Lots of separate pockets to help with my "everything has to have its own place" OCD behavior.
• Quality -- Leather is a must. No imitations please.
• Price -- As always, I need a good deal to be happy with my purchase.

It's nice and roomy, but not so big that it looks like I'm packing a small carry-on around, has separate little pockets for my phone, camera, planner, wallet and the bonus of some extra pockets to hold chapstick and other odds and ends. It's leather and, the best part...purchase price = $7.20. Can't beat a deal like that!
