suede purse and winning

The other day I got an email from Veronika letting me know that I won a giveaway on her blog. I've won a few blog giveaways over the past couple of years, and it's always so exciting! I won this great suede purse that Veronika made out of a skirt. It was a fun DIY project that she did for herself, and when the purse got such great response from her readers, she made another to give away. 

I love it! The color fits perfectly in my wardrobe, and it adds a fabric that I'm lacking– suede. I also really love the gold chain. It's a little smaller than the purses I normally carry, but I'm pretty good at cutting back on things I carry. I took it with me to work today to test it out, and it was great. I could carry all of my essentials, and I didn't have to dig for my phone! 

Aren't the tassels fun? I love fringe, so I was swinging them around all day. Thanks so much, Veronika, for hosting such a great giveaway! I'm so ecstatic that I won. Everyone be sure to pop over to her blog. She's always posting great outfits and inspiration.
