I just bought a FABULOUS a PETTISKIRT, and had to share my “buy”, lol! Boy O’ boy… my checkbook is in TROUBLE, because I am in LOVE with this pretty lil’ thing!

I found this GORGEOUS petti from Forget Me Not Kids. And… I’ll be buying more, I’m sure of it! lol This is a “Sam’s” pettiskirt, which I’ve heard ALOT about. On top of the high quality, soft materials & STUNNING color.. it’s made in the USA Which, as my bags are made in the USA also, is always a great thing to see making a purchase.

Anyway, it’s totally OT for my bag blog, but I was so pleased w/this buy, that I had to share ENJOY!
