I bought this crazy Miu Miu purse ages ago during a Barney’s Christmas clearance sale and ever since have affectionately called it my “puppy purse.” With the Mongolian hair sticking out from the sides, people always wonder whether I’ve got a poodle in there.
Usually, I refrain from using it unless I’m heading to a fashion-oriented event like fashion week or a NY art party where my puppy purse works as a conversational piece and where people don’t think I’m entirely insane for carrying such a freak show of a purse. Now that I work in fashion, I don’t need any outlandish events to rationalize my purse choice. I can actually carry it to work!
Here I am in a couple outfits both utilizing the cardigan, sheath dress, necklace and belt combo while carrying the infamous puppy purse.
- purse – miu miu
- sleeveless brown dress – Ann Taylor
- cardigan – Express
- shoes – lovely people
- gold chain necklace
- ring – bought at off 5th
dress – Escada (sample sale)- cardigan shoes – Fergie
- tote – Miu MIu (Barney’s sale)
This is today’s outfit. I tempered down a semi-formal dress with a more casual cardigan.
- dress – Bebe $50 (bought on sale)
- cardigan – Target around $20
- suede and alligator boots – Franco Sarto (got them for free on a modeling gig a long long time ago)
- necklace – Forever 21 $around 20
- ring – Off 5th $30
Do any of you have any fashion items that are too wild to wear on a normal day or even night out? If so, I wanna hear about it!
