New Addition: The Grown-Up Bag

So I have been carrying around the same bag since high school, and it has definitely seen better days (and better time-periods), so I had begun debating getting a new bag for the last three or so months. Well, my poor little bag ended up passing on before I got the chance became motivated enough to buy a new one. Here is a look at her before her funeral (and keep in mind that this is a little embarrassing):

Yeah, I know... Mustangs... And that, there at the bottom, is permanent dirt stains, not a shadow...

Some battle wounds

Hanging on by threads... Literally!

And the cause of death: broken strap

 So now that we are done with that, let me introduce my new bag (the not so embarrassing part)! I needed something budget friendly (as I had not planned on buying a new bag yet, so I didn't save up for one), and a little LOT more grown-up! I looked around in a couple stores, but the internet is a much more efficient, and cost-effective method. After searching around for a couple days, I finally found this beauty at only $17.99 (you can view it here). Two things before you see her: one, she is a little smaller than I thought she was going to be, but this didn't bother me much because I am very small-framed, and I don't carry around a lot of stuff (not even my laptop, I normally take the iPad if I am in need of electronics), and two, I had to reenforce the bottom because it was a bit flimsy, but I think that was just personal preference. Alright, without further adieu, here is my new grown-up bag:

I LOVE the pinstriped fabric!

Yeah, that is some cardboard in the bottom! I plan on sewing something a little more permanent inside once I figure out what I want to do with it!

A good amount of pockets!

I love these little knobs on the bottom!

 All in all, this bag does fit my needs quite well! I did end up getting a little smudge on it earlier and it just wiped right off! It comes in eleven colors, so if you like it, you can match it to any outfit you can think of! What do you think?

Enjoy your day!
