oo, what does it look like?
I remember first buying a purse when I was a teenager (unaware of my gender issues).
There was this weird conflict brewing inside me, debating whether I could get away with buying and having a purse - would my mom let me? Would my dad find out and threaten me? Would I get bullied at school?
My girlfriend at the time was with me and was so supportive, she was the real reason I felt the freedom to take that little step, to sheepishly choose a purse and buy it.
Wearing a purse was one of the few gender non-conforming activities I took a risk on when growing up: I wore a purse everywhere in high school and didn't stop as an adult.
Usually of course I chose purses that were more subdued (in colors of browns, blacks, greys) and usually plain and not too feminine in style. But I corrected people when they called it a "man-bag", insisting it's really just a purse.
So yay for purses, have a great purse day, enjoy that mojito!! ๐ฅ๐
Thanks
This is purse, i think is cute ๐ฉท๐ฉท it was great mojito, can't decide is it better for strap to be small or big (idk how to explain in english hope you understand)
thanks for the pic! very practical, love that in a purse. Thicker strap is more functional and fits this purse well - easier and more comfortable to carry on your shoulder, and across the chest.
I have a few purses that look like this one, love it! ๐ค
P.S. your English is great ๐
Thank, on walk home I was adjusting it every few minutes because I do like wearing it different ways
