One fashion genre that I've just never ventured into before is the area of bag lady chic. Olsen twins, I'm looking at you. Yes, they're still the twins to me, I grew up watching their sing along videos at sleepovers okay! They wore matchy matchy clothes! And solved mysteries in little paperback books! I felt as if I KNEW them. Needless to say, I don't anymore. (P.S. always identified with Ashley more).
I digress. So, not too much venturing into the oversized, super layered, crazy prints world for me. It's just not my thing. But this is where things get blurry. I was visiting the ModLife Blog because yes, I am a Modcloth addict and have a wishlist a mile and a half long, and one of the writers posted about this spread. I was perusing it. I liked the photography and the styling as a whole, but it wasn't inspiring. But then I zeroed in on this photo:

The carpet bag on the ground by her feet. A carpet bag, with literal carpet, but yet...I was falling in love. So quickly. So then I enlarged the picture to find out the bag was made by Carmina Campus, went straight to their website, found out it was a Disarmy bag, found out that said bags are made out of recycled materials (awesome!)...found out that they're way out of my price range.
Sigh.
And here I was imagining how chic and unexpected I would look on campus carrying around such a bag with my books in it, while the masses lugged about their generic, not terribly aesthetically pleasing Longchamp bags (or fake ones). Well, it's still a really pleasing visual.
