I've always been predisposed to liking fancy, detailed purses. To me, the question is, why not? Some parts of the outfit are meant to be bases by nature. Pants usually fill this role. Blouses can fill this role. And jackets.
But purses? They're meant to be decorative.
In fact, they can verge on being tacky and kitschy while still being ultimately cool. Take this Mary Frances metallic hand-held purse. It is virtually an owl. What other item could disguise itself, in full, as an owl and still pull it off? Only the purse. That's why the purse is the perfect subject for an orbital outfit. It just draws other items into its orbit. That's what happened with these ones, I spent no more than a couple of mementos and these items fell straight into place. Ah, the cosmos of fashion. Hoo hoo hoo can resist?
