WWJW: A fuchsia treat.

There is nothing wrong with what I wore today, lovies. In fact, it's my favorite dress to wear to work because it's one of the only ones that's decent in my closet (i.e., isn't up the butt). It's cute and comfortable, and we all know how much I love my jacket.

BUT.

I got something fun and pretty in the mail today-- something I've been debating over for the last, oh I dunno, month or two. Its not surprising I do that with bag purchases, because I don't make many of those. I'm not a bag-lady. I own a few and I wear them until they rip to shreds (literally-- used a nice leather Juicy Couture purse until the metal wore down and broke. Literally, metal broke. Granted, I used it daily for YEARS). So when I started thinking about a nice clutch for Vegas, I knew it would take me a while to decide. Not that there were any other contenders, really. I just don't buy many bags. It's always a tough thing for me, but I'm pleased with the results. It's small but the leather is very soft, the color is a deep raspberry, and best part-- despite the bright color, it goes with a lot.  It transforms from day to night with a quick unfastening of a strap and fold of a handle. Simple, elegant and easy. Perfect for me and my non-bag-obsessed ways. So anyway, the moment I opened the package I knew I had to try it on with a pretty lacy and ruffly outfit. :)  Here we go...
