After Mo and others opted out of June shopping, I declared June my own forced shopping month. I need pretty much everything, would like to eventually have 10 ideal central pieces.

So far, I've found:

- second-hand black leather crossbody bag
This has already found almost-daily use. I don't love the brand stamp, but it's fairly subtle and I wear it against my body.

- black leather ankle boots, leather-lined, zippers on outside

They're not exactly fab, but they're decent quality and fill the classic low-heeled black ankle boot category.
