Mmmm let’s be real, I haven’t started a new semester in many moons now. But there’s something about starting off the year with a purchase for yourself that you can [attempt to] justify, based on resolutions. New stationary because you’re going to write more letters. New athletic pants because you’re going to run more. New cookbooks because you’re going to cook more.
Me? I want to get out more. Weekends specifically. I’m so go-go-go all week long lately that by the time I hit Saturday, the last thing I want to do is put on real clothes and leave the house if we have nothing on the calendar. Even if it’s just to take my laptop to a nearby coffee shop and blog there for a couple hours. Take my camera to a new neighborhood and practice sharpening those photo skills.
Joule’s sent me this leather bag, and I’m thinking it’s pretty perfect for these [mini] weekend adventures. Holds my laptop, agenda, and camera, but doesn’t feel like a normal, stiff computer bag. It’s soft leather but has a nice structure, and it comes in a sweet dusty pink as well! I’m smitten with it, and so many of their other handbags [“travel more” on your list? You need this.].
Cable Sweater, Old Navy [similar 1; 2] | Plaid Shirt, Old Navy [similar] | Jeans, H&M | Pearls, Urban Outfitters [similar] | French Leather Satchel c/o Joules | Grummer Brogues, Aldo
What’s going to be your new-year purchase?

Have I ever told you you’re the cutest ever? Well, you are. That bag is super cute and would be perfect for my commute! Crossbody means hands free for COFFEE and Snapchats.

You’re adorable and I love that bag. I think getting out more is a great idea. I agree, it is so easy to just want to stay in on weekends. That bag wants to be taken out 🙂
