Fashion Friday – A New Purse

Are you like me when trying to find a new purse?

#1. I don’t want to pay a lot of money…sorry “coach” none of those for me

#2. I dont want a huge honkin purse that could fit the kitchen sink in it…seriously have you seen the sizes of purses out there these days??

#3. I want it to be light weight because it kills my back and shoulder to lug around a heavy bag.

#4. I want the inside to be light in color instead of a dark hole where I can’t find things

#5. I want it to be stylish and I want it to pretty much go with almost everything!

Is that too much to ask??? Well….I found one!

While visiting my mom we decided to do a little shopping and went to Charming Charlie’s! If you are not familiar with this store it is a fun accessories store that sells all kinds of purses, jewelry, scarves, shoes and some clothing items…the cool thing about this shop is that everything in the store is displayed and organized by color!!! I first heard of this shop while living in Texas and LOOVED it! Here is the inside of my purse…black and white striped lining so cute!

So happy with My new $39.00 purse…someone even asked me if it was a Kate Spade purse!

I realized after I took this picture I had the purse turned around…here is the front of the purse with cool gold zipper pouch for my cell phone.

Do you love my wrinkled denim shirt??? Lol…I’m just casual today at home

Yeah I probably should’ve ironed this or at least spritzed it with water and thrown it in the dryer but hey im keeping it real for you 🙂

For a girl who has never been a “blue” fan I am sure wearing a lot of blue denim shirts these days! Please notice I spiced up my outfit with my cheetah ballet flats…yeah that is what I am talking about! I’m starting a new fad! A wrinkled denim shirt mixed with cheetah shoes! The fashionistas of the world better look out! Karin from The Style Sisters is coming into town today LOL

What is your “go to” comfortable outfit to wear to run errands in?

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

You are my kind of shopper, can you please tell me who made the purse, is the brand on it somewhere? So cute!

  Hi Sharon,
  I bought the purse a few years ago from Charming Charlie’s. It was under their own brand. You might be able to find something similar on their online store … click on this link to go there. https://rstyle.me/+xmRsv5WLovibQNttjB3FUQ

Ooooh, we have Charming Charlie here in Rockwall. Wonder if I could still find that purse. It does look just perfect. Your qualifications are pretty much the same as mine. I really do prefer leather but they are just too dang expensive anymore.

Oh, you're a skinny girl and look fantastic no matter what you wear! Yes, I'm particular about purses. Don't want the big name brands. Seems silly to pay so much for a darned purse. Yet we use them so much. My needs for a purse are much like yours. Great find!
