My favorite purse is a well loved cognac leather hobo. It definitely has a RATE look to it which is why it doesn't go to work with me any more. </p> <p>My second favorite purse is my "interview" purse, the leather is smooth the structure is more rigid and it is black with gold accents (and a red interior! --- happiness factor!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rate-vs-polished--pics-from-my-closet#post-833693 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:40:31 +0000 Adelfa 833693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are two black bags of mine, about the same size. </p> <p>1. RATE<br /> Pinked edges<br /> Pebbly, non glossy leather<br /> Slouchy<br /> Shoulder strap<br /> Dull silver accents<br /> I've worn and worn this. </p> <p>2. Polished<br /> Sheen<br /> Structured<br /> Handles<br /> Shiny gold accents<br /> Feel like this wears me. Only brought out for special occasions. </p> <p>Obviously this is a follow up post to amiable's!</p> <p>Do you have items representing each style in your closet? How do you feel about the items? </p>
