When a 7 year old boy helps to choose your accessories…

August 20, 2011 20 Comments

Back to school shopping…  We’re at Marshall’s, checking out the shoes.  As the boys are trying on shoes, I notice a rack of really cute bags that are marked with clearance stickers.

After looking all of them over I have two, one in each hand, that I am considering.  Grant comes over and puts in his two cents.

“I think you should buy the dinosaur purse.”

Dinosaur purse?
“Oh honey, that’s not dinosaur! It’s crocodile!”

(And it’s faux croc at that! I have a whole bunch of back to school shoes I need to buy.  No one’s getting real croc anytime soon!)

I did go ahead and choose the dinosaur purse though.

Not bad for $10, right? 🙂

    Cute bag! Every time I got to Marshall’s looking for a new handbag, every one I pick up is $100 or more! I have expensive taste I guess.

    Sigh……you lucky dog! I desperately need a new purse and have been on the hunt for several weeks now. I can’t find just the right configuration. They’re either a: sized for a teen girl and only hold lip gloss, a cell phone and yesterday’s hair do-dad, or b: sized for everything but the kitchen sink – all in one compartment so that it’s an archaeological dig to find anything. The hunt goes on.
