Those are cute and just your style.

I tried to wash my purse last weekend and the white flowers on it turned bluish.  Now I need to go find a new purse, which isn't that bad a thing, but I really loved that purse and used to get compliments on it all the time. 

ETA: Wanna help me shop for one?

Passanie

This one looks like you, H (from Etsy):

That is cute but a little small. I do have a lot of small purses and need another large one since I tend to almost use them like backpacks. And sure I'll help you shop for one. You want one just like that then?

Passanie

No, I'm looking for a hobo that's not overly huge. I'll probably look for something locally. I like this one, but I fear those straps are going to be far too weak. Also from etsy:

Purse horse? Did you mean purse whore?

I thought it was an English expression that I didn't know, but now that would make sense!

H - those purses are so cute!

No, like a clotheshorse (should have made it one word) is someone who has a lot of clothes/is obsessed with clothes.

Here's the origin of the phrase: http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/55/messages/743.html

Oh yeah, I've heard clotheshorse-I just thought you were thinking whore, like when people say "I'm such a shoe whore."

Yeah, they really are used the same way. I'm surprised people were confused by it though. I was trying to go for the more classy version of the same idea. I guess people aren't used to that anymore.
