Freebies

Recently I read a blog wherein the lady writer made the point that she feels angered in a way by fellow bloggers who don't properly notify their readers that certain pieces from their outfits have been given to them by companies for free.  I'm telling you this because while I agree to a point with this blogger, I also think its important for readers to be aware that bloggers won't always blatantly point out that an article of their outfit was a freebie.  In a lot of incidents we will simply include a "c/o" distinction in our outfit specs.  At least that is the case with me when a) the company has not requested a written review or b) I've already worn the item numerous times on my blog.  Today's post, however, will include a blatant shout out to OASAP for sending me yet another trendy gem to share with you, namely the below fringe bag that has stolen my closeted hippie heart.  You see for as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be one of those carefree, flower headband wearing, "haven't washed my hair in weeks" vagabonds, but my straitlaced tendencies always squash that dream.  This bag, however, allows for my inner flower child to bust through without running amok.  Its a happy comprise and wildly awesome purse and yes it was free, but its freeness has had no influence on my own positive review.  I have standards people and they're pretty high especially when it comes to fashion, ice cream, and booze.  Like if you ever try to slip McCormick vodka in my drink or serve me store brand ice cream or pass off a pleather bag as cute, I will cut you out of my life.  Period.
