A Shining Moment: Mrs. O's Purse
Sunday, January 18, 2009 at 2:18 PM
As Mrs. O exited the train in Union Station Saturday night, we couldn't help but catch a flash of a black patent purse over her shoulder. As large as a tote, the purse was sleek and shiny, providing a welcome gleam for a winter day.
Long a harbinger of spring, patent leather for winter wear started becoming popular a little over a year ago. Large patent purses and totes are now available at every price point, from Marc Jacobs or Miu Miu to Land's End or Target - one more example of democracy fashion in action.
Contrasting nicely against her black coat, the patent purse was one more example of how Mrs. O's fashion sense continues to shine on.

I just need to know where she got her coat from.
Fabulous!@
That bag does look sophisticated doesn't it ? As does the way she wore it slung high on her shoulder.
Subtle, polished flash.
patent leather is the perfect "go-to"!with jeans and a white blouse or tee, or dressy with a suit or party dress. it is always appropriate and looks great!

Check out Mrs. O's camel skirt and matching coat. I can see Maria Pinto's fingerprints all over it! A very classic and lovely look.
Jenna, that outfit is the HAWTness. I can't wait for Mrs. T to post about it.

And here is a close-up of Mrs. O's coat. I just noticed that it's not just that her sweater is black. You can seen the actual lining of the coat is black as well. Very, very chic.
