Evolution of the Purse

As most of you know, I’m a teenage girl, and what is the number one accessory for us? (Hint: It’s not Make-up or jewelry) The Purse! A couple months ago, my mom and I were in the Gift Shop at Old Sturbridge Village (OSV), and there was this one purse I wanted, because my other one was on its dyeing leg. This purse was big enough and was a good in-between for mom and me, I wanted to Vera Bradley; mom wanted me to buy a purse that was cheap, so this purse at $24.99 plus the volunteer discount, was great. It was a great size for me, and it wasn’t a Vera Bradley, but it almost was.



In June when we actually “became” volunteers for OSV, I said, ok I want my purse, mom on the other hand told me to wait until after Kentucky (I went to Kentucky with my church, that’s another blog :-p). I said ok, but I wasn’t happy about it. I went to zipper my purse up a couple days later and the zipper broke! This was the largest purse that I owned! Now I really wanted the purse at OSV. I dealt with the purse in Kentucky (even thou it wasn’t that fun), but I lived.

The only issue, is that I went from my first purse, my friend gave me to this purse, so now I was living in a small XOXO purse.

I wouldn’t mind using that purse, but I have my second life in my purse I’ll give you a list of just a few items that always stay in there.

1. Pocket Calendar
2. Lip Gloss
3. Eyeliner
4. Mascara
5. Chap Stick
6. Batteries (for my new digital camera)
7. Toothbrush
8. Floss
9. Wax (for my braces)
10. Toothpaste
11. Sun Glasses
12. Wallet
13. Dunkin Donuts Sugar Packets (I only have these because I order Iced Coffee and well they don’t put enough sugar in it!)

See, what I’m talking about, the small purse couldn’t handle all of that, plus more! So how could I fit everything in there, and still have room for a digital camera? That’s right, I don’t, so more the reason for a new purse. The only reason my mom didn’t want me to buy the purse in June, was because we had no way to show that we were volunteers, but in July we had a plan, we would walk in with our costumes on buy it, so we could get the discount, and then change out of our costumes. Come July (aka yesterday), I bought my purse, now I just need to put my stuff in it, and I’ll be happy.
