A woman’s dress sense may be governed by her ovaries according to a new report.The study conducted by UCLA and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire showed that women put more time and effort into their appearance when they're ovulating. Because I'm menopausal and haven't ovulated for quite some time, it might explain my sense of fashion impairment.
This affliction leaves my wardrobe and accessories lackluster. I'm not even a typical female. I hate shopping for clothes. When I find something that fits, I buy it in all of my favorite basic colors: black, brown, navy, and gray. Yes, quite boring. This is true for shoes and purses as it is for attire. I usually shop twice a year in the spring and fall. Doughboy and I can't even recall the last time we visited a mall.
I wear something until it disappears into nothingness. A prime example of this is my purse. Actually it isn't even a purse. I'm not sure what you'd call it.
This purse and I have shared 15 years together. Admittedly I didn’t use it exclusively all this time, but we have been constant companions for a long while. I was ready for a change (truth be told, it started to fall apart) and went on a mission last weekend to find a new handbag. I rate handbags along with sheets and underwear – not very exciting. I was overwhelmed by all the styles, colors and prices. As I wandered past rows and rows of handbags and clutches, I spotted the purse of my dreams. The color is perfect, don’t you agree?
Baby steps...small baby steps…

I hear you sister on the shopping. I hate shopping. Only go when I need stuff. Love your new purse. =) Can't ever go wrong with a black purse!
What is wrong with your fashion sense? I think it is wonderful. I even wonder sometimes why my fashion mode is not a little more up beat like yours. True! I too hate to shop. You know my clothing style. Jeans, Jeans, Jeans. Of course I have them in all colors. You can't go wrong. You can wear them year round. I'll just let Pam be the fashion diva. She does it so well with her skinny butt.
Like the new purse. Glad you found something you liked after all these years.
there's nothing wrong with your sense of style. now let me tell you what just happened...i am in my pj's with christmas socks on and a sweat shirt that has this lovely seascape on it. my husband says..."you look cute!". I kid you not! you bag is lovely...and I think I have the same old bag as well!
I am still sitting here with my mouth hanging open because you've had that one purse for 15 YEARS!!!
This new one is quite nice. Welcome to the world of fashion. Proceed at your own risk.
LOVE your new purse! Congratulations on your graduation into "purse-hood". It is an addiction, so don't be afraid if you suddenly find yourself admiring other people's purses as you pass by them. I love purses, and I blame that on my mother... everytime I see her, she's changed purses. So no wonder I have totes full of different purses. ha!
