Oh no, I think I’m turning into one of those nutters who want to be trendy fashion-setters. That was never on my list of Things to Do In Life.
I went to the mall today to get a hair clip and scope out potential dresses for an upcoming wedding. Upon walking into the department store, however, I ran into the Purse section. It is getting about time to pick out a new winter purse, so I looked around a bit. And then . . . I saw it.
The Seatbelt Purse.
I had seen it earlier this week in a magazine and loved the idea — made out of real seatbelt material arranged in a basket-weave pattern, lined with some fabric pilots use, and sewn together by NASA-grade thread. Whatever color you want, they’ve got it. Naturally, this is considered one of those uppity designer brands and the size I like runs at $80.00.
Which, sadly enough, is quite cheap by designer standards.
Feeling poor, I grudgingly put down the purse, made a mental note to put it on my Christmas list, then appeased myself by buying some Boots Boots.
Don’t ask me if they cost more than the purse.
I said don’t.
