bag lady

in a week and a half's time, i'll be the big 2-3. and with that big girl age, i believe it's time i invest in a big girl bag. but with so many choices, what's a gal to do? i've narrowed it down so far to two competitors for my trophy arm. et voila:

steve mono, alan simple leather bag: simple is right. no bells, no whistles, no jangly charms, no buckles, just in your face slap-yo-mama sleek design.


see by chloe rise & shine crossbody bag: more embellishment, but not excessive. more crinkled and beat up, which, if you didn't know, i'm kind of a fan of. and it closes on the top! which may not seem like much to some, but i'm a freak about purse safety. really. i am.


i have 9 days to solve my dilemma. help me. help me please.
