TRAPEZE MULTICOLOUR IN CALFSKIN DEEPSEA AND BEIGE

At first I thought, 'nothing could ever top kate spade's bright bag with the whole name game.' then I saw this title. I thought, 'wow how can anyone even try to buy certain bags without bringing a memo with them?' Then I saw that it was the color of the bag that was taking up most of the name.

oh.

well then.

okay.

Also, I just moved into my new apartment! I still have one or two things to do in my old apartment, but other than that, I'm mostly moved in! Whoo! 

These pieces definitely look better in real life than the scanned version. ;______; 

i so srry my scanner is st0opid.

I mean, I could afford it, but I'd rather eat 25 chipotle bowls instead.

or 50 in-n-out meals.

or 250 tacos.

or ....you get what I mean.

When I first saw this bag on tumblr I immediately wanted it. I didn't even question the price.

Then I went on the shop site and they didn't have that specific bag available. I also looked at the price and I changed my mind about how badly I wanted it.

It's still a beautiful bag.

It's still really expensive.

My ultimate material goal is to be rich enough to buy this beautiful bag without cringing and breaking down at the register.

Initially I was about to go over the bag with a wash of black. I thought about it some more and came to the conclusion that the details wouldn't show as well as I would have liked. So here it is! Another addition to my Material Girl series.

Who knows, I might add a bit more flare to this later.
