Style Witness: Needed: one new bag.

Needed: one new bag.

So I need a new handbag. I need a lot of things actually, new sunglasses among them. But bag wise I’ve had my current everyday bag for over a year now, and when I bought this one it was more that I came across a good deal in an acceptable style and colour at a time that I really needed to replace my previous bag.

This time I would like something that still suits my overall subtle style but is still very much special, and makes me sing on the inside when I take a good look at it. But as per the resolutions I have to accept that I’m not a rockstar and not spend like I am.

So what’s the solution? Maybe an Etsy purchase? Or The Outnet? The leading real world contenders are…

Valhalla from Etsy $327AUD (love the picture holding it but, but maybe more fun in the blue?)

Sara Berman from The Outnet £160

That’s right, I’m not ready to give up the big bag. It’s just so handy, even though I am tempted way too often to carry more stuff that I will ever need. The other night I took a clutch instead of ol’ reliable out for a casual dinner because I just couldn’t face lugging the weight of my everyday bag!

If I was going for a rockstar bag I might consider one of these (all from net-a-porter)…
