hing, no matter how cute it looks on someone else, I won't wear it. Like those cute little boots that people wear over their jeans? You won't catch me wearing those in a million years! Not that I don't think other people are cute in them . . . I would just be simultaneously wearing them and laughing out loud at how silly I felt. Anyhow . . . for some weird reason I feel silly carrying a purse. My friend asked me if it was because I don't consider myself feminine, and it's not that. Ask Lamon about my emotional constipation that happens on occasion, he will attest to the fact that I am definitly feminine. But at any rate, I have been carrying around a black cheap wallet for the last 8 years. One time I was at a beauty parlor getting my hair done, and when it came time to pay I pulled out my wallet, and the hairstylist looke
d wonderously at me and said, "You carry a man's wallet?" So in this effort to not look silly perhaps I look silly after all. But more importantly my wallet is lost more than it is found. I found my wallet a couple days ago after weeks of not knowing where it was, and I have sort of come to the conclusion that I should just get a purse. Hayden feels fine wearing one for heavens sake!Hayden was carrying around this purse I bought at a garage sale the other day, and I said, "Hayden . . . what are you doing?" He looked at me and said, "Mom, . . . this is my 'Satchel'! That's a man's purse." So . . . if Hayden can feel confident carrying around a purse . . . by golly so can I.
So if you see me in the near future sporting some sort of purse . . . please tell me how cute and unsilly I look with it. :)

I wish you luck in your pursuit of a purse. I have been trying to upgrade from my little wristlet, (a wallet on a strap) for years now. The cute purses are way too expensive and most of them are the size of an overnight bag. Have you tried slinging one on your shoulder? I manage to knock out the person behind me. Then when I turn to apologize for taking up more than my alloted space I seem to wound yet another by stander with the bag. Happy purse hunting!
I never knew you carried a wallet. I've always had a purse and never had one I liked so either way you go I don't think you'll win. Maybe I'll try a wallet next. Also I think the man bag thing would be great. I could carry the wallet and Keith could lug around all the junk we have to take with us everywhere.
that's really funny because my good friend always makes fun of me for never wearing a purse and only using a wallet...i just can't find a purse that represents me well enough...but i too am coming to the conclusion that it's time-i lose my cell phone and wallet all the time!
It only took me about 25 or more years of marriage before I finally broke down and got a purse! It was just so freeing to not carry a diaper bag anywhere. The wallet thing is probably just your rebellion against carrying such a big bag everywhere you go and the wallet is the opposite side of the pendulum. I went with the fanny pack idea, and sometimes I still do that!
I am not a fan of the purse. I saw these cool bags the other day at the Columbia outlet. I bet that it would fit your needs and you would look wicked cool with it. http://www.columbia.com/Women%27s-Azza%E2%84%A2-II-Messenger-M/UL9723,default,pd.html
