I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night...

And Party Every Day!!!

When I was in my 20s, I was quite the wild child!  Back in the 80s, my friends and I listened to all those rocking "hair bands"!  We were head bangers, we were rebels, we partied and caused mayhem - well, maybe not mayhem, per se...  But (we thought) we were cool!

This Saturday I'm dragging the hub (who was not a head banger back in the 80s) to go see Motley Crue!  I had seen them a couple times back in their (and my) hey day and they were AWESOME!  I know it's been 25+ years since I last saw them in concert but I'm anticipating a really good show!  I started to think about what to wear and pulled out (and dusted off) some of my rock and roll wear.  Do I need a purse?

I love this one that upon further inspection you can see the studs are actually skulls!

Back in "the day", there would be no thinking of what to wear on our feet.  Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall we would don our 3 inch high black, leather boots.  I remember actually standing on the folding chairs in those things!  You had to balance your weight just right...crazy!  These look rock and roll-ish - I love the heel!

Now for the jewelry!  I have quite a few head banger-like accessories to choose from...

I actually borrowed these two leather studded bracelets from an old boyfriend back in the 80s.  Oddly enough, I found out (via the magic of FaceBook) he'll be at the concert this Saturday too!  I hope he doesn't see me and want these back...  The charm bracelet w/ the crosses is Brighton.

Here's one of my bad azz tank tops I could wear - I gotta be cool, right?!

Back then we dressed to look cool - now, I dress more for comfort!  I think I can still pull off being cool and comfy at the same time...  I know inside I'm still a rebel!  A head banger at heart!  I better bring a sweater, just in case...

ROCK ON!!!

Sneak Peek - Touch of Gray

Here's my sneak peek at the outfit of the week.  I usually don't wear much gray but I loved this top and I'm always looking for something to wear with my pink patent leather heels!  I would be in heaven if I could find another pair exactly like these in turquoise - J'Adore! 

Top & Pants:  Fashion Bug

Shoes:  Lauren by Ralph Lauren

Bracelets:  QVC (Platinum clad rolo) and Brighton

That's my bag baby!!!

I've seen a couple people doing this (for example check out bug) and think it's a fun idea.  Post your purse and the contents!  Why not have a little sneak peek at what our other blogger friends carry around with them?

I just did a little post recently on this purse and my need for compartments here in case you missed it.  So this is my current satchel - 3 compartments.  The middle one zips completely but when unzipped all the way, it actually extends so I could put files or magazines in it.

I bought this cute little zipper pull at the Goodwill Store after digging around in a bin of trinkets - cute, yes?

My first compartment holds my makeup bag (because Mon thru Thurs I put my makeup on while I'm on the train commuting to center city Philadelphia, PA), and I have some hand wipes (again, the train...eww), a Tide stain release pen, blotting papers for my shiny face, my smart phone/Ipod and a cloth I use to wipe my phone with because the little smudges and fingerprints can be such a bother!

Second compartment holds my coupon organizer, Brighton sunglasses, various store discount cards, a pen from my favorite vacation destination (Couples Jamaica) and car keys w/ a couple Coach key rings (*yawn*)

And lastly in the third compartment my Bose earbuds to listen to smart phone/Ipod, wallet, various debit cards and an Am Ex gift card w/ less than $5 on it that I will probably never use but won't throw away, a bunch of game pieces from the grocery store which I must get to because I could be a millionaire and not even know it, and a pack of the most delicious gum on earth.

Not terribly exciting but I did enjoy peeking into the other purses and figured it was only fair. 

What have you got in your purse????
