I do this post every year seems to be a favorite . I honestly sometimes rotate from a messenger bag to purse. I thought I'd show you my messenger bag just to spice things up. I was at the thrift store looking for a backpack or some sort of sachel to tote around with me. When I found a brown funky Eastpak messenger bag with original tags for three dollars. Eastpaks are expensive thought the design wasn't my usual taste. I decided its function and quality out weighted the aesthetic of the bag. Kinda the same principle as the ugly winter coat that is the warmest over the cutest. I found over time I grew fond of it actually people would tell me out and about " cute bag" . In urban living I find it handy can be worn close to my body. I can rush around with ease with out looking after a purse.

Cute post. My bag is much the same, just add Hogwarts style book & divinatory goods. I work out of my bag every day. Tarot, Lenormand & pendulum and we are good to go. Mine ended up being very utilitarian. Big buck items could not withstand the wear and tear I subject them to, so...army duffle it is !
