I can't decide how I feel about this purse..
Permalink Closed

I swear I have a love / hate relationship with it. I've picked it up everytime I go in the store but end up putting it down. It will fit over my shoulder, which is a deal breaker, so that's good, but do you like it? I know metallics are supposedly "on their way out" - not that I'm such a trend whore, I plan to wear my metallic shoes, so I figure why not a purse too?

I feel like there is a little too much going on there.

Yeah, there is a lot going on there with the chain straps, the two tone metal, plus the black leather, and the grommets, AND the drawstring.  And I think there is a zipper and a flap pocket too, it looks like.  I don't think I'm feeling it...

Thanks, i guess that's the answer & I just needed to hear it from someone else. If I really loved it I would have it by now. I just got confused because i was drawn to it while my mom was here & she hated it. To me that is usually a sign that it's for me..... HA!! Still rebellious at 33 yrs old......

I love it! It's so much fun!

I really like pieces like this because you can wear really simple clothing but by adding one accessory (like this purse) you can make a statement!

I'm picturing it with a grey tee, jeans and a bright colored shoe.

I'm not wild about it sweetie.  It looks like something you would beat someone with, doesn't it?

Farrah, thanks so much. I'm sorry, but I'm still laughing about this statement!
It made me think "maybe I could ward off bad guys with it"!

and jlear, thanks for a positive statement. I love your style so it made me feel better that I'm not totally off my rocker.

I like it too, I think it's something you could wear with less statment-y outfits to add a punch of your personal style. Besides if you pick it up everytime you see it, there must be something about it that really appeals to you. That said, I bet you could find something similar in a vintage store. Maybe something less busy so you would feel more comfortable wearing it with more outfits, and in more situations. Plus buying vintage clothing is so much more fulfilling then buying regular clothes. lol.

I don't like mixing silver and gold jewelry, I feel the same way about mixing metallics.  It's a bit much.

When I first looked at it, it almost looked like a basketball.
