I randomly decided to stop into a consignment story after doing my monthly beauty torture (waxing/threading). I was on a mission for a cardigan, and I found one amazingly enough.
And then as I was waiting in line to checkout, I noticed the "fancy" bags on the wall. I saw a cool gunmetal metallic leather bag by Botkier. It was $125. Had most of the plastic still on the hardware, and included the dustbag. I ended up doing a little google-ing and found it was a Misha bag from a few seasons ago.
I have seen pics of a few Botkier bags over the years online, cute, but not quite my style. I tend to go for structured bags or classic bags with a few modern details.
This one had loads of practical pockets. A super long chain for your key ring, and a comfortable drop for the shoulder strap. I typically don't bother looking for bags at thrift or consignment shops. So I was surprised to find something like this. Now I need to go there more often. There were some Marc Jacobs bags too.

That is awesome. Every girl has her thing. I am a hard core shoe fashionista. I would say that I am "classically put together", lots of black dresses and tailored pieces....with an element of funk thrown in. I love nothing more than art for my feet. This translates into lots of gorgeous stilettos but also some sky high wedged and colorful numbers to offset the black. Make sure to post the bag!0
