Yes, today it's my turn. With my good old Marc By Marc Jacobs bag. I've been looking for a new one for a few weeks now, because it's definitely due for replacement. Maybe I can still polish it a bit and it can last a few more years, but I just feel like having a new one. You understand, right?
How did you get this beauty?
A few years ago, this package was under the tree for Christmas.
Honestly, are you a bit careful with it or do you throw it in a corner or do they all sit on a shelf with dust bags?
Okay, to be very honest, the first few weeks I'm careful with it, then I indeed throw it in a corner and I wouldn't even know where I left the dust bag. After a month, I spilled a purple smoothie on it and I think something has leaked in the bag at least six times (nail polish, water bottle, foundation, perfume or green kamut, just read it) here), which made the entire contents dirty under the mess. My friends won't be surprised if it happens again.
Oops!
What about the contents? Are you a chaotic person or neatly organized?
All chaos. Every now and then, everything comes out, I turn it inside out over the trash can and then I reorganize it all again. Now that I think about it, it might be better if I bought a smaller bag so I can take less with me. Sometimes there's a stray yoga pant in there, a letter that needs to be mailed for days, an unread Grazia or a thermos with a layer of tea left, packaging from a energy bar and receipts that I should have given to my accountant a long time ago.
What do you always carry in your bag?
My earplugs. So boring without music on the bike. Definitely two charging cables since I'm on my phone all day and that thing is already dead around two o'clock, tea bags and always something to eat, an apple or Raw Bite for example. Wallet (I won't show you the inside. Tons of receipts, maybe also a tea bag, dozens of cards and never any cash). I always have a brush with me, sometimes I hear a sigh and see a disapproving look from Liesbeth. Then I immediately know that my hair is tangled. She's absolutely right, I could pay a bit more attention to it now and then.
I always have painted nails, usually a different color every day or I touch them up nicely. That's why I also have some different nail polishes in the bag. Oh yes, and my Dolce & Gabbana The One.
Do you prefer trendy or classic? And does a bag also need to be practical?
Classic. I do like to play it safe, because then I know for sure that I won't get tired of it after a while. And well, I don't have that many zeros (before the decimal point) yet, so I wouldn't quickly make a purchase for something that's trendy at the moment or has a very crazy bold color. Fun for a while, but not forever.
And lastly, is there another one on your wishlist? Which one?
Phew, do you have a moment? The Va Va Voom from Valentino, Gucci Bamboo Bag, Céline trio bag. This is enough for now. Ahem.
