Grown-Ass Women do not carry tote bags.

After heeing and hawing at Renegade yesterday about needing a new tote bag, and, like Goldilocks, finding only options that were not quite sturdy enough, not quite washable enough, not quite cat-related enough, etc infinity, it was suggested to me by an always sophisticated Juan that, 'Maybe you should just get a leather purse like an adult.'

Well, Juan, I think you might just be right. Of course, it's not like I'm going to obtain a real adult handbag. But a recycled-leather-jacket-turned-badass-carryall? Yes. That's something I can get behind. I've had my eye on this Ashley Watson lark bag for the last couple of months now, and it seems that 2009 might just be the year that I become a Real woman.
