Pink???

Some women love shoes. Now, of course I need them, and want them to match my clothes, but getting a new pair of shoes does not thrill me.

Purses, on the other hand, THRILL me. I could get a new purse every couple of months. (Not that I do, but I could)

A purse is feels very personal for some reason. Of course I use it everyday, so it has to be functional - organized.

And it has to be just right. I am very particular about what kind of purse I like. It has to have lots of compartments. How do women have these purses where everything is just dumped together in one compartment? I can't fathom that - not past like 6th grade anyway - when all I had in my purse was chap stick, old bubble gum, and maybe a pen.

It has to have a compartment for my cell phone, and one for my keys. If I have to go digging around for them, I will never find them.

Anyway, one thing that I tend to do is pick the same styles over and over, with slight variations - all with many compartments.

Almost all are black or brown. You can't go wrong with those, right?



In the past year, I did buy my first red purse. (So out there - lol - for me!)

The other day, me and Jalyn and Joshua were shopping in the mall. I found a purse I loved. Soft leather, expensive (before the sale price), all my necessary compartments - just perfect.

Except there were only 2 left. A black one and a pink one.

Well, usually there would be no question as to which one I should pick. But for some reason, I could hear a little voice saying - "You always buy black - choose something different!"

It was Jalyn. But really, I could hear it in myself as well!

I couldn't decide for many minutes. I wanted to stick with what I knew would work - but instead went with the pink one.




I was a little worried I made the wrong choice - once I got home.

But now am happy I went with the pink one.

Even I have to step out of my comfort zone (rut) every now and again!
