Monday morning blues... I have a major case of this common ailment today and I would have stayed in bed if I could. The grey, windy and rainy day that awaited me was less than inviting, but I have so much to do that I can't afford the lazy "Sunday Funday" I wish could be everyday.

I styled this outfit all around the purse, which has the words "CASH ONLY" embossed on the sides. It's such a fun yet subtly playful idea that got me thinking about how we live in a credit only society; how it's true that we hardly use cash for anything these days. I have to admit that I like to have cash in my kitty or my purse or even my pocket as it makes me feel like an old-school gangster, a hipster with a roll... of one's mind you, haha!
