Throwback Thursday: Loving My First Purse

Do you remember your first purse? Or, even better, how it made you feel? Well, I do. In 1982-1983, I could be seen carrying none other than the floral bag above.

As you can see from the photo, I was pretty darn excited to bring it with me EVERYWHERE. I loved the shape, I loved carrying it by the handles (I felt so sophisticated), I loved the bold and beautiful print.

And inside? I kept all of my most fabulous earthly possessions ... which, when I was two and a half, meant a bunch of beads I could string together into necklaces for my family.

I'd say this photo makes it fairly obvious that I was destined for a deep love of fashion (and a career in it!), wouldn't you? And, just as a side note, I sure do love the flowy spaghetti strap dress and bloomers I rocked here.

What was the first purse you remember loving? What made it so special for you? Let me know in the comments!
