Guess what, guys?! It’s time to show off some of my Phillip Lim for Target duds in action! As you probably already know from stalking me on your social media of choice (links above…hint hint), I got up at 7:00 Sunday morning to head to Target and check out the new designer collab. I’m pretty sure the majority of people in the Indianapolis area have no clue who Phillip Lim is or why this collection was a big deal. Lucky for me, that meant I had very little competition for all the coveted bags!

On the other hand, the lack of fashion knowledge in my area also means that almost no one has complimented me on my new bag over the past 2 days or said something like, “Oh, you got the yellow Phillip Lim mini satchel?! So cute!” I almost wish I would get mugged just so I could have a Clueless-style conversation that would go something like this:

Mugger: “Gimme your purse!”

Me: “No, you don’t understand. This is a Phillip Lim for Target collection bag!”

Mugger: “A Philla Whatta?”

Me: “It’s like a totally. important. designer.”

Mugger: “Oh. In that case, I will retire from my life of crime and go back to school. And maybe do some volunteer work at an animal shelter. Have a nice day. Love those shoes, BTW.”

This is what I wore Saturday for the Macy’s 5 Fall Essentials show, and then out for dinner and patio music-listening later. If it were up to me (and let’s face it – most things should be up to me), leather accents would have been on the list of 5 essentials for fall. How about I just make it the unofficial #6? OK great. Done and done.

Seriously, I’ve been missing leather all summer. It just adds the perfect touch of badass. Not that I need it, obviously. Few things are more badass than a mint green quilted bag and a necklace with giant flowers on it. I think after I graduate and pass the bar, I’m going to get business cards made that say “Badass Lawyer” under my name. But the cards will also have a faux leather paneling on them…just to make sure the point gets across.
