Strike The Match

I don't usually like the co-ordinate too much. I'm not into matching fingernails and toe nails or matching my bag to my shoes but somehow when it comes to purses and bags I like to have them match. Not all of the time, of course, since I change my handbags a lot but rarely my purse but when the bag and purse come together it just makes me feel like an adult - much alike matching underwear. I really feel like I have my shit together.

So I was trawling through Primark the other day and laid eyes on the purse range (while searching for a clutch bag with a shoulder strap, of course - isn't that always the way?) and just fell in love with this beautiful nude purse with the rose gold cut out bow detail. I immediately knew I was buying it and when I saw the tag said matching bag, I went hunting. Sadly all I could find was the brown version so heading to the tills without too much thought I went. Then I spotted it. High up on a pillar there was the black version with the matching bag beneath and just slightly to the left, the lone matching nude bag. Being tall has it's advantages as I swooped up and grabbed it. My best friend kindly bought it for me and along it came to it's new home.

I'm not a fan of smaller bags in general. I like to carry more things than are necessary around with me and I get a little anxiety at the thought of not having a lot of crap on my person but this is just so pretty. I can fit more in it than I think and I absolutely love the corner detail and the matching bow detail on the front. The strap is long enough so that it carries well, there's a zipped inside pocket perfect for my phone and even with the purse, a small selection of make up, my phone and a little bit of unnecessary stuff there's still room for more. Perfect!

The bag came in at £8 with the purse being £5 so it's a complete bargain and while I just loved the rose gold I might have to pop back and get the brown version to match my new boots and maybe even the black. A/W, I'm ready for you.
