When it come...That jacket was a superb find Lydia. <br />When it comes to designer bags I always wonder :how much does it have to cost to be called "designer bag?" because Rebecca Minkoff for example is a designer bag, how about Coach.... hmm? Would it have to cost over 1,000 USD ? The other day I was going to write a post about it. <br />I think you can save up really quickly for one, if you add what you spent the last three months the odds are you probably spend that much on the J Crew dress and so on ;)Lorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720997862417551402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551650242422472428.post-87572616113074950342018-11-15T16:42:49.233-05:002018-11-15T16:42:49.233-05:00Ooh that is a great jacket--such a gem of a find! ...Ooh that is a great jacket--such a gem of a find! I pretty much love this whole look--the details are combined so perfectly--the tassels in your shoes go so well with the details in your tee, the fun cuff of the jeans, the textures.

It is taking much longer than I though, but errr, there were other things that I had to prioritize over the designer bag. One day though!<br /><br /><a href="https://www.rdsobsessions.com" rel="nofollow">www.rdsobsessions.com</a>Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14256903041992932607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551650242422472428.post-35264798927566203792018-11-13T17:33:22.431-05:002018-11-13T17:33:22.431-05:00LOVE that jacket so much!

I have a couple of designer bags and I definitely really treasure them, I save for quite a while to get them and they now show signs of age and love but I don't think I'll get more designer ones for a while. Too many other, far more inconsequential, things that I find myself wanting to spend money on, ha ha.<br /><br />Courtney ~ <a href="http://sartorialsidelines.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sartorial Sidelines</a>Courtney Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03713150819439653811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551650242422472428.post-85890445751603736282018-11-12T10:22:08.590-05:002018-11-12T10:22:08.590-05:00Looks great!

I was in university and designer bags were far beyond my budget at the time, not to mention that this person had parents who bought her designer bags routinely, so I brushed off her advice with a roll of my eyes. But I have to admit that when I finally did save up the money to buy my first designer bag, a Louis Vuitton Speedy 25, it really was such an incredible feeling and experience. It's also still one of my favourite and most used bags, despite the fact that it is now a decade old. The handles show the years of wear, of course, but that almost makes it more special. The funny thing is, it only takes doing it once to realise that you can, in fact, open the door to having designer things if you're willing to make certain sacrifices. (I gave up Starbucks when I started saving for mine; best decision ever for so many reasons, not just the bag.) It really is like a whole new wonderful world opens up. I hope you'll be able to have that experience one day, but in the meantime, I love how your borrowed pouch matched just perfectly with this look. It was obviously meant to be!<br />xox,<br />CeeCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822990898186192908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551650242422472428.post-57077470065986880342018-11-12T09:44:54.114-05:002018-11-12T09:44:54.114-05:00I am SO behind this jacket as I have one that I go...I am SO behind this jacket as I have one that I got one and I wear it SO freaking much for work!!
