Beth, from Total Mom Haircut has made up her own meme. About purses. I knew I liked that chick! I was tagged! Here are the rules:
"1) Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you cannot go up to your closet and pull out that cute little purse you used back before you had kids. I want to know what you carried today.
2) I want to know how much it cost 
And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, I’d love to hear it.
3) Tag some chicks. And link back to this post so people know why the heck you’re showing everyone your diaper bag/non-diaper bag."
1) Here is the Burberry goodness:
2) My husband bought this purse for me. In Turkey. In the bazzaar. So it maayyyy not be exactly "Burberry." It might technically be Burburry or Barberry or Beberry. It cost about $35 or 3 jillion lira. (Actually, I have no idea how many lira. I'm not very good at math, particurally when decimals or fractions are involved.)
I asked for a bag that was not huge, but big enough to stash a diaper or two in and this one is perfect!! I totally love it and don't care one bit if it is actually Barblurry or Boobarry. It also is not leather, its this coated canvas, so if you spill your coffee on it, you can just wipe it off! Perfect for someone as coordinated as me!
3) I'm tagging:
Jo-Lynne from Musings of a Housewife – handbags are in her tagline, for pete's sake!
My sister-in-law from Sunny Side of Life - "obsession" does not begin to describe how she feels about Vera Bradley. Although if they made Steelers purses, she would be carrying one.
Heck, the rest of my family members who blog. You know who you are.
Jenny from Chicago from Chased by Children – I'm sure she has a cute bag. She just seems like someone who would carry a cute bag.
Megan from Mommy Esquire – I'm also picturing something cute, yet business like here….
Feel free to consider yourself tagged! I'm running late, so I can't tag anyone else! Clearly blogging about my purse is more important than getting my kids ready for school!
About Melissa
very cute!!! i’ve been sportin’ a black leather juicy coutre with soft nickel hardware for about a year now… i also got the identical one in brown w/ goldish hardware but i hardly carry it. they ran me $400/each. the two purses COMBINED were consolation for not getting the one i WANTED!
Thank you! I have the most economical story to tell. Come see tomorrow.
Very cute. Very chic. I LOVE the slightly longer straps. I have to say I could use a few more inches on my green goblin – I’m experiencing some slippage…
Thank you for playing. I thought you might like this:)
I love the longer straps too, especially with the winter coat bulk I’m struggling with these days!
Thanks for tagging me! I put up my post and linked back to you. I am totally feeling the Burberry love right along with you.
I always liked the patterns on the burberry purses. I shared my purse too so come visit to check it out! Hope you are having a good week.
Love the purse! I went with the sturdy boring leather for winter but maybe Spring will be some new fun.
Hope you are well!
