Dream Bag

I don’t often include bags with my outfits, because I don’t consider them an essential part of the outfit, and as a result, I only have two bags – a backpack for my laptop and a tote for everything else (occasionally, when I travel – which is never these days – I would also use a cross-body bag for my phone, passport, and wallet.) However, I’ve been looking for a way to streamline my backpack and tote into one everyday bag. A laptop bag is too utilitarian, and more importantly, it doesn’t fit my overall style. After some searching, I set my eyes on a satchel/messenger bag, and after even a longer time scouring secondhand/vintage store, I finally found this. It’s pretty much the perfect bag for me – it fits my laptop and all my odds and ends, and it also hits my style sweet spot (vintage, Dark Academia, menswear-inspired) – so of course I had to give it its own post. The outfit is just an afterthought, really (it’s my take on this outfit worn by the fabulous Farrah Fawcett.)
