The perfect purse

If you are an OG (sorry but I have no faith in you that you are) from the very tippy top of the iceberg beginning of this blog, you would know, that I originally had this post originally about this one purse I saw when I walked into Ross one time, years ago.
I do not know what happened to it! So I have no knowledge of the real purse, except an image in my head.
To my cursing, I did not buy this purse (regret it everyday).
I found the closest thing I could find to it. I was convinced it was the right/same purse, but when it came, I realized it wasn't. I was pretty disappointed, and probably crashed out.
So that is where this funny story started: that I have had this purse in my possession for like a year now, and only started using it a couple of days ago.
Immediately obsessed. Immediately new favorite purse.
Even though I never bought it, it is exactly what I thought and was looking for.
Here's the thing: when it came, it was because I was convinced that it was the wrong purse, that I rejected it or whatever (didn't use it until now). I was upset. I forgot about it. It was left in the dust.
But I realized when I actually looked into it, that is the closest thing I could find to the original. Once I realized that was the best I was going to get: I tried it and immediately obsessed.
New favorite purse ever. I love it so much. (Over any other purse too).
I will tell you why it is the best purse ever. Why I favor it over my like, ten other cheap ones (that I still love, I just wanted to clarify the "cheap" with the "ten"). I don't know, guys, when it comes to fashion...I love the look of things, but I don't want to spend too much money because it feels ridiculous...so I just buy cheap versions of the same look, same thing, dupes, and live happily ever after...maybe some days I'll get real versions of stuff I really like (expensive versions). I mean the cheap is like smart...see if you even like it and it's all the rave to you.
How I knew it wasn't the same purse: The original had a magnetic clasp instead of the button. But it honestly looks cute, so I don't mind. I like how the detail is even on the crossbody strap.
It's crossbody...so you can wear it two ways. Resting on one shoulder, and hanging vertically down...or option two is the crossbody way (across both shoulders, diagonally, and it's basically "strapped" onto your body just in case safely). That option is good for if you don't want your purse to fly off for whatever reason. Roller coaster, maybe?
The first one is good for just a chill position. It's the one I prefer if I'm just trying to be a chill guy idk.
The winning aspect of this purse is how deep it is. It is so comfortable, and it fits so much! You can carry all your friends things if they randomly ask without stuffing your purse.
It is also really secure. Even without the zipper, and the one thing in the middle, if you turn it upside down, nothing falls out, not little things, nothing. Even little shoulder bags with the zippers, the zippers don't extend the full way on the sides and there's gaps, stuff can fall!
Shoulder bags are adorable, but they're smaller, get stuffed quickly, and can only be worn one way.
Also, they always fall off your shoulder! Like no matter what! No matter what shirt you wear or whatever...there is no grip whatsoever.
And like sure if you're into that while you walk...a chill sip off the shoulder...but personally, it's pretty impractical, annoying, and not the look most of the time. You get sick of it very quickly. The "look" thing doesn't matter so much anymore.
I remember walking to church in the winter with my coat, it slips off that too. It slips off anything.
And for some more comparison...when it comes to shoulder bags (I've always been a fan, trust me) they look kind-of stupid with casual outfits. This is my opinion, on me, for me, just from my experience. If you're not dressed up like in a dress or skirt...it looks kind-of stupid.:( So anyway it's like a casual outfit, like shorts or something...it just looks silly.
This purse will never look silly. It's casual. It's fancy. It's whatever you want it or need it to be.
Practical. Cute. Everything. Pink. Perfect.
I'm thinking about additionally...what I wrote about the original...in the original blogpost...I think I wrote that it was the absolute perfect shade of pink (light pink!) Perfect size. Just perfect everything honestly. Love it so much. Cheap too. At least I got it used but in good condition. There were no new versions. I feel like the original was discontinued...maybe this is the same brand but the exact purse is just a little different (different clasp or whatever its called? Because that's what I definitely remember and it's different).
