Ahoy polloi (an island for the masses)

Wow, Fim!
What a lovely tote in such a beautiful colour!
Your DH spoke the right words.
You are going to enjoy your new bag. Do you know that Benvenuto means Welcome in Italian?
Quite a symbol!

I couldn't agree more, Mariapia. I feel the same about my new tote as I did when I finally resurfaced after my long absence here on our Island.

It's good to be back!

Thank you, Mariapia. My outfit is less a fashion statement and more practicality.

I wear a lab coat at work and air conditioning at the college is temperamental at best.

Pure practicality, Murphy. My Jeep doesn't have air conditioning and the air conditioning at the college where I work is problematic at best.

Very chic looking.

I think you do not look only practical, but very elegant! How did you like your tote? Was she a perfect fit?
I am drawn to totes a lot, lately. They tick so many boxes for us busy women.
Hehehehe. At least you do have some air conditioning at work. We have none. And the trains are even worse

Ladies... I have been bad this month... I had been looking at a Charles et Charlus for a while....
Long story short... I found it on Degrimm, added it to the cart... and received it yesterday.
Here it is...

You're so right about totes, Ludmilla. I've always carried one to work along with whatever purse I was wearing. But I'd never considered it anything more than a step up from a plastic shopping bag. (Hence my $10 Walmart's insulated tote.)

But my attitude has entirely changed with my latest acquisition. It easily accommodates everything I take to work and looks great doing it. No longer a mere convenience bordering on an afterthought, my new work tote shines in her own right.
