A MOTO JACKET WITHOUT ALL THE WEIGHT
I should know by now to quit making plans. Remember yesterday when I mentioned that my daughter was on her way home and I couldn’t wait to see her? Well, it turns out, that I could wait for after all. She has come down with a head cold, and she said she was feeling tired because she didn’t get any sleep the night before. Plus, she is congested in her head, and she said that she was a little dizzy. DON’T drive when you are feeling dizzy.
I am beginning to think that my daughter is just trying to torment me. I don’t know why that would shock me since she has been doing that since she was a child. Lol! And, to try and drive me even crazier than I already am, she is talking about getting a stinking dog again. Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs, but she doesn’t have a clue where she is going to be living, working or anything else in a year. I tried pointing out that it was not fair to be yanking a dog around and that she needed to wait until she was settled and then we would talk about it. I swear you would think that she is Emersyn’s age instead of a woman in her early 30’s because you can not reason with her. After reading this, you ought to feel better about YOUR children. Hahaha! If you would like to adopt a headstrong, independent, totally unreasonable young lady, please let me know. Just asking for a friend. Lol!!!
I love the look of a moto jacket, but I have never been a fan of how stick and heavy the leather ones can be. My neck bothers me when I have something heavy on the back of it, and that includes a jacket or a coat. This moto jacket has a rugged look that I like, but it is a cotton-blend knit, so it is not near as heavy. It still has all of the style of a moto jacket including the asymmetrical zipper. I love that this is a hand wash and lay flat to dry item because I am not one to go to the dry cleaners (I don’t have one) very often. This jacket fits true to size, and I am wearing a size large.
The Promise necklace from Plunder Design jewelry features three strands of silver rods and disks on a black cord. This necklace takes all of the guesswork out of layering a necklace and makes it look effortless. I paired it with the Sam earrings which are no longer available because I was too lazy to look for my hammered silver earrings called Myra. Lol! The bracelet is not available either, so I don’t know why I even bothered to show you what I was wearing. Here are some styles that would work instead.
Here is purse number two courtesy of Sharif 1827. It is the “Mighty Olivia,” and I chose the snakeskin print. Did any of you think that this was one of the handbags that I chose? I love this one because of the print but mostly because of how versatile it is. It can be worn in the hobo style like I have styled it or it can be worn as a backpack. I know the backpack style is popular with a lot of ladies, but I have never worn a purse in that way. There is one more way that you can carry this handbag……….
The front pouch is removable, and it can be carried as a crossbody by itself. That is such a smart idea, and it changed the look of the purse with it removed.
Here is a close-up look at the leather material and the silver hardware. You can see the quality and workmanship in the stitching. This handbag comes in solid black, navy, and blush if you are not an animal print fan. Not only do you get two handbags in one but you get to save some money also because it is on sale! Woohoo! It is your lucky day. Go here to purchase this gorgeous bag.
I love my faded light gray jeans from Old Navy. I had been looking for a pair like this for a while and had even ordered a couple of other pairs from other companies, but they weren’t what I was looking for. I didn’t have a lot of faith that I would like this pair either, but I was pleasantly surprised. They are very comfortable, fit great, and they are super cute on so I find myself reaching for them over and over again.

Style, color, pop, versatility.
I look for purses with compartments, separate pockets for my keys and phone, and a light colored interior so I can actually see what is inside the purse. Soft leather as opposed to hard leather or material. I’m pretty picky about purses and feel the perfect purse has not been invented yet! Lol!
I love your outfit today, very stylish and looks great on you! I love the bags you are spotlighting, so far yesterdays was my favorite♡ I gravitate towards larger bags but absolutely must have a area to store my phone, a pocket, a lot, divider etc. Otherwise I am digging and by the time I find it, the call has ended. I’m sorry you were disappointed that your daughter didnt make it home…
There are so many things I look for in a bag, but #1 is versatility. As in: will this work with many of my current outfits? No more Diva bags for me — you know, the bag where you have to build the outfit around it. LOVE this versatile snakeskin bag AND the necklace.
I love these handbags and the innovative details like the detachable clutch! My number one “must- have” in every bag is a pouch for phone and eyeglasses! I tried three times to comment yesterday but my internet was down and it would not send. But my favorite bag from Shariff is the one you styled yesterday! However, I love your outfit today too and that purse looks adorable w that very flattering moto jacket! Great choices! So sorry about A-Ashleigh being sick and delayed!! But you are SO blessed to have your daughter coming to stay w you and your son next door always!! (my daughter hasnt been to my house in 10 yrs.)?? Maybe Ashleigh will get a cute little dog who plays w yours and he won’t be lonely.
I look for organization & something not too big or too small.
A handbag that has both a longer handle for over the shoulder and a short handle to carry.
I look for compartments! Not just one big area where everything gets jumbled together! Love that removable crossbody!
Lightweight is important….and that it can open and close easily….Love this purse too!!!
One thing I looked for in a handbag…. versatility since I do not tend to change bags that often. I really like a crossbody as it forces me to carry a bit less and is easier on my shoulders at this stage of life!!! LOL. Tanya saw ur video and man I can’t keep up with all your organization and things to carry!!! Never thought of a magnet LOL
