As a birthday treat to myself
I added to my wardrobe from my YouTube gurus’ collections:
The gold handle hardware matches up w/my gold wristlet s complete w/satin polka dot ted lining w/a large zipped pocket in the inside back + handy-dandy compartments to store keys, lipstick, etc. Carries well w/the adjustable crossbody & double snaps above zipper closure ~ what appealed to me the most initially was the bowling bag shape! This’d go great with the CK colorblock dress from my Nanay !
Special Delivery today … Oh, snap as I call my stats a wrap ! Stats Cat wants to get in on the pacat ge wrap!
I must’ve scored the last 1 because it no longer stayed in stock the day after!
Soon-to-be Bday Grrr l Sweet Annie ‘s easy to please: w/her squirrel tail & her likewise squirrel tail toy + dress packaging!
