Half-Way Gone...

I know I've mentioned in the past few days that Thirty-One is bringing in their new Fall 2013 Catalog starting on September 1.  And that in order to bring in some new (ah-may-zing!) products, we have to say good-bye to some classics and favorites.  I think the hardest loss for *me* is going to be the "Classic" Skirt Purse.  The bases in all three colors (gray, black and brown) will be retired on August 31, but there are new skirts available for purchase in the Fall 2013 catalog.  A lot of fantastic patterns, too! So, I think for *this* particular blog post, I'll post pictures of my dear friend, the "Classic" Skirt Purse.  You've got a little while longer to snatch this beauty up before it heads to that big hand bag rack in the sky...

Those of you who know me know:  I'm not a fan of Pink Pop Medallion.  I think it's too plain.  I have the skirt for the purse, and the photos are on the sidebar of the blog.  Here it is,  little bit more broken up, for those of you who don't need the entire pattern all at once.

I wasn't really a "pink" person until I realized how cute Pink Cross Pop really is!  It goes with everything, especially Party Punch in this Timeless Wristlet.  Everything in this photo is retiring on August 31. Hurry and get this look.  I know how you can get it for $67.50.  Ask me!

Someone once asked me why I don't have anything in Yellow.  I do.  There just haven't been a whole lot of yellow patterns since Awesome Blossom departed.  I made it work just for them!  Bright and sunny! :)

For the 'Bama fans in my life...Roll Tide!  *gag*  I kid...

I have never been a fan of the Inspirations Skirt or pattern.  But here, with the accent of the Turquoise Cross Pop, I actually like it.  And I like it even better this way...

With the pink!  I don't know if I love the "color" as much as the "contrast".  Either way, I'm happy it's all mine!  But a little sad that it's all retiring...

Gray Brushed Twill here for the base, along with Pink Cross Pop and Party Punch accents.  It works!

Whoopsy!  Forgot the coin purse! ;)

Patchwork Paisley was never a favorite of mine.  But, it's a favorite of MANY.  It's retiring this month, so snag it while you can.  Oh, and after I got all the adorable matching pieces to Patchwork Paisley...it kind of grew on me.  

Oh, my summer set!!  Island Damask was the ultimate summer pattern!  I'm going to miss it.  But these products are still around in one form or another.  Everything in the photo above will retire on August 31.  Get it while you can get it!

Before I saw the new catalog, I decided that Woodblock Floral would be my pattern for fall.  I'm so happy this print is sticking around in a few things--the skirt!  Everything else in the picture is retiring, however.

And here it is with Pink Cross Pop.  I think this is just as cute as blue!  Again, contrast...

There's an idea of how I use this product.  I have 25 skirts and all three skirt bases.  I'm clearly biased, and clearly invested.  Here is a quick look at the patterns this "Classic" Skirt Purse is available in NOW:

There you go, everyone!  What you need to know about the "Classic "Skirt Purse!  If you have any questions, let me know.  Happy Shopping!
