stripe 1
On the hunt for a classic chain shoulder bag to go with all my striped shirts. I have done so many ebay and etsy searches, but haven't found the right one yet.

  7. That's Amy Merrick on the right. I love that photo of her and her blog "An Apple A Day" is a favorite:

    I almost picked up a striped shirt today at the thrift store but the fit wasn't quite right, I've got my eye out though :)

  8. did you check your mom's closet? somehow little treasures like these have been lost and forgotten in the large and dark mystery that are mother's closets. i seem to find incredible things in there everytime i am home

  9. Aww, I'm so happy y'all like the bag!

    I,in fact, DID swap a leather strap for the chain. The key is to find a bag who's strap buckles or clips on. Then I used some gold jump rings to attach a length of chain.

  16. I have a thrift mecca in my town and whenever I'm hoping and dreaming, it takes a memo.

    If I find one, it's yours.
