Two birds with one stone.



Today's post incorporates both of my current projects. Project one: the three R's.

the "pants" purse

the "pants" purse


Voila, one man's pants is another gal's purse. This handy little tote was a pair of Dean's vintage corduroys in it's past life, now it's been reconstructed into my new favorite bag. It's the perfect size for all the odds and ends I need to carry and it's wide strap is super-comfy on my shoulder. My favorite aspect is the two perfect pockets for my cell phone and keys and such. I added a lining from some vintage scrap fabric that I believe used to be a blanket, and one of my antique buttons.

Here's said satchel in a daily ensemble, which takes care of project numero dos, my W.E.I.O. post for today:

Hi Mila!
I found your pic doing a search for vintage cowboy boots. Could I use it? I'm a writer for Fantastictoe.com, a shoe community, and I am the owner of DebutanteClothing.com. Thanks!
