So, I may have mentioned before Handsome and I cruised the Adriatic Sea last summer. One of the stops was Florence. I had a blast shopping in Florence on another trip and I couldn't wait to shop again. What for? Handbags! Gloves!
I found the same store and cruised through it, but nothing caught my eye. I walked across the square and found another, bigger store. I strolled through, noting handbags that caught my eye. When I finished, I retraced my route and began picking up handbags. At this point, a young man came to assist me. I filled his arms.
I already have a lot of the basic colors and shapes; so, I looked for something different. And this one caught my eye:
Why orange? I don't have anything in this color. I do have a tweedy pumpkin-colored vintage bag. But it isn't for every day.
This one is boxy. The width is almost the same as the length, but overall, the impression is it isn't big. Does have a crossbody strap which I love to snap on when shopping. Does have to pockets the length of the bag. Perfect!
The color description? Orange isn't quite right. Recently, I changed my Facebook profile pic to this handbag and asked readers and friends what color would they give it.
Orange
Pumpkin
Flame
Poppy
Tangerine
Red-orange
Persimmon
Vermilion
Three people said--drum roll--Tangerine!
I must say it does look Tangerine to me.
What isn't Tangerine, but fun as well? Sommerville days. An easy two hour read of Hollywood-style cute-meet stories.
