Coffee Break – Chrystie St. Camille Crossbody
Let me start by saying that I hate crossbody bags. They remind me of my middle school years in Ohio, when I would get all dressed up to go out, and then throw my fluorescent ski jacket on top of my dress, and then throw my black crossbody bag on top of that.
