perfectly orange.

I flew to California yesterday to spend a week with my parents for my bridal shower and birthday. Waiting for me was a package from j.crew with the little orange bag I ordered for the wedding.


It’s small. Teeny-tiny in person. But it fits my phone & lipstick plus probably some bandaids & advil which is all I can imagine needing to carry around the day of the wedding. I will probably remove the gold chain (it is not meant to be removed and will have to be pryed off) because I am a carrier, not an over the shoulder girl.


The color is fantastic and the fabric petals are perfect. It’s surprising what a little orange bag and a 35* increase in weather temperature will do for a girl’s mood.


Thanks for your support the last few weeks and posts. I am starting to feel more like myself again.

    Fabulous clutch! I agree about the chain. 🙂 Glad you’re feeling like yourself–sunshine is probably helping. 🙂

    It must feel wonderful to be on the west coast and away from all this left over snow and cold weather! I love the purse and can’t wait to see pictures of you carrying it at your wedding. Enjoy California!

    Glad you like it in person! Orange is such a bright and fun color, I’m thinking. I would also appreciate a temperature increase. Send some of California’s weather this way, please! Thanks.
