I'm headed to NYC on Tuesday and at the top of my list is a purse for spring & summer, I'm not shy about investing some money into one and I'm looking for some recommendations? I'm thinking shoulder bag or smaller? No cross body. I also wanted to quickly share a story, I'm struggling to dress myself, it's a struggle for me after wearing a uniform for half my life and skating by on "passable if I stand in a corner all night" for the other half, it's a process. One thing I did yesterday was get fitted for a bra at Nordstrom. Amira was the sales person who helped me and she was literally what I imagine Zsa Zsa Gabor with a Marilyn Monroe chaser to be, proud of her femininity, proud to have a womanly shape and proud to dress it! She made an awkward process manageable and at the end showed me how to put my bra on with a wiggle and a hop which is just shimmying yourself into the cups while bent over and then giving a little hop while standing up, I could have cried she was so fabulous. I just wanted to thank everyone on this blog for the inspiration! Even though I usually lurk, reading all the blog and forum posts have been super helpful for a clothing misfit like me!
