Wedding Found a purse...help me find something similar?

[vintagelover229]

Okay ladies...I found THE PERFECT purse...but I CAN NOT AFFORD IT AT ALL! I mean, I know some of you ladies are doing well for yourselves and can buy a purse like this...but I can''t!

Its the Lulu Guinness Couture line called ''Penelope'' and it''s used 185.00! New is like 700! Can any of you guys help me find a purse similar to this stlye for WAY less? thanks!

Or do you know where I can get it used for like 50.00?

I personally wouldn''t do a hot pink bag with hot pink shoes for two reasons:

1) matchy-matchy isn''t really that "in"
2) if it doesn''t match perfectly, which you won''t know unless in person, then it all just looks off.

I would go for a cute black clutch or a print with black and pink. I use a white/black/pink/yello pucci clutch when I wear my bright pink shoes. It kind of ties it together without over doint it.

some examples of pucci print bags can be found here for way cheaper than in stores:

Stephanie - keep in mind, the shoes are already very, very sexy and will be calling a lot of attention all on their own. I would keep the rest of your outfit toned down...so even though I think the black bag is better than the hot pink I think the chain may be too much...especially because you''re going to an upscale restaurant for dinner.

Thank heaven''s for pricescope...I''d jack this all up on my own if it wasn''t for you guys! Thanks! I think your right! Although I didn''t think of it before you said something!
