When is a Purse Not Just a Purse?

It’s been awhile since I discovered ASOS, the fabulous UK shopping site that makes me think, just for a moment, I have any business wearing harem pants.

The site’s line of accessories are usually spot-on, but I do wonder from time to time just what age group ASOS aims to target with something like the straw cupcake purse?

The Hexagonal Spot Handheld Bag strikes me as more wearable, you know, on a day you’re feeling whimsical and are wearing nothing but solid white or black.

And then there’s this.

Yes, that’s a magazine, wrapped up like a newspaper, tied with a lime-green bow. Of course it’s a ridiculous, unnecessary purchase that will go with — maybe — one or two outfits in your closet. But I want it now.
