my first real big girl bag… i bought her off of ebay and she is such a gorgeous shape, just the right size for the essentials and a little more!!! can def slide a book in there for on the go reading and fits beneath the arm perfectly <3
but! if i am being real… the true key to comfort and versatility is having a staple bag of each size (s, m, l, plus a collapsible tote if needed) to assist you in life…
typically i am much more casually dressed so a leather purse feels too much at times… i then turn to my baboon to the moon crescent crossbody… so many pockets! for nights out, i have my baggu shoulder bag, i find that its the perfect size for the essentials and once again fits nice and slug under the arm… ta da!
*** not my photo but this is the exact model :p

Saw this question pop up in the morning and have spent the rest of the day thinking about bags. Turns out I’m harboring a lot of opinions on them. Like flora I agree that you need one in each size (s/m/l). Additionally as a person who treats my clothes and accessories like trash it’s imperative I have a bag that isn’t precious but looks chic. Which is why I always go with a medium sized leather bucket bag in a fun or neutral color. I go through one every 5 years. In college I had my mom’s 70s Dooney and Bourke, when I moved to New York I treated myself to a Creatures of Comfort (RIP) and recently I scored an OAD bag (also maybe RIP?) off The Real Real. Bucket bags fit everything, but don’t look like you’re schlepping your whole life in there. I also like going bagless and using just a Petit Pli mini pocket that I wear around my neck. There’s enough room to tuck a card and a key in too. On the XL size I love my Baggu cloud bag. It’s the absolute goat for travel because it also is collapsable!

Because the beige is cool and medium enough in tone that it can go with light colored outfits or with darker edgier looks it’s super versatile and convenient to carry and I like the cross body/top handle combo and magnetic closure it’s the Allsaints mini Captain tote…
Calf hair Ferragamo wallet that I bought in ‘well-loved’ condition because I thought the wear on it was so sexy and it meets all of my specifications for a wallet… card slots with ID window and billfold and the toggle opens up a little pocket
Sunglasses a little Judith Leiber coin wallet and a mini Virgin Mary figure that belonged to my grandma and I’ve been carrying her around for like a decade

sooo many pockets on their crossbody crescent… definitely more on the casual side though!!! but infinitely more functional than the baggu (even though i love them… not enough organization for me…)

instead of doing it under the influence we should start saying it casually on the daily on a random weekday afternoon… this is the way please believe me!
