Shopping for Small, Chic Backpacks

 My most-used bag all year is a 

Black, 6"wide x 8.5" tall embossed croc Backpack from Aldo. 

2 zippered compartments. Silver hardware.
With skinny, belt buckle adjustable straps made of matching croc material.
The best part about the backpack is that the material is stiff, so it has structure and
a bit of weight. It keeps its form.
It's also a casual style (backpack), made dainty (small size), and
classy (slightly shiny, croc material).

The only issue I have with this bag is that it can be
just Slightly too small for anything like a journal/tablet/book. 

This is post is shopping for a backpack w/ a similar effect,
but a bit larger. 8" wide x 10" tall would be the ideal size to still
look like a small backpack, but able to fit a little bit more.

DKNY - Abby backpack 

Sale for CAD $173.40 down from $250

Dimensions: 9" L x 12.25" H x 6" W

100% PVC

(so slightly larger than I wanted & a pleather bag for almost $200 is dumb)














Betsey Johnson - SLITHERING SKULL BACKPACK
$98 CAD

Dimensions not provided!





I've decided I definitely want something slightly different from my current one,
so not just another Black backpack.





Tory Burch - Piper backpack
She has a few that are almost exactly the Size I want:
Height: 10.8" x  9" x 4.2" deep

But I don't care for the style & they ain't cheap!











$95 CAD

11.4" tall x 8.7" wide
A bit big & also I'm not crazy about the sporty straps.






















I freakin love this one, but it's the same size as my current one!!
:(




$90 CAD

8" x 6" 














$375 CAD

The perfect size. Not so perfect price.

9" (L) x 10 1/2" (H) x 4" (W)
















Hobo - Revel mini backpack

Sale $60 USD

Now this is Real leather, including a calfhair section, at a decent price.

Unfortunately it is also only 0.5" and 0.75" larger than my current one.

 8.75" H x 6.5" W x 4" D


















On sale for $65 USD ($85 CAD)
Nordstrom Rack did not send me to their Canadian site, 
so these above 2 are in USD.

It's the perfect size and it's not boring. It's also real leather and a good price.
Is the opening too annoying?



 11”H x 8”W x 5”D

Designer Outfits ideas for Thrifting the Runway

An idea that was copped from B. Jones Style YouTube channel,
I aim to recreate runway looks
using thrifted clothing.

Here are my designer outfit choices:



Christian Dior - spring 2015 couture
Designer: Raf Simons

I already have a matching legging & fitted, longsleeved shirt 
in white & black Houndstooth print. 
Just need a structured crop top + woven miniskirt in the
same solid shade.






Or a blazer over it:




A Detacher - fall 2017


Or a dress over the matching top & leggings:




Marine Serre - spring 2019






Christian Dior - fall 2019 rtw

I'm really into full skirts w/ high, belted waists, worn casually.
I have a couple full, above-the-knee skirts, but a mid-calf would be interesting.




Balenciaga - fall 2018

Pleated w/ fuzzy sweater


Another one, worn with a tshirt:




Christian Dior - pre-fall 2020




Coach - pre-fall 2020




Balmain - spring 2020 rtw

Actually buying one of those garish, fully beaded blouses you always 
find at thrift stores, & pairing it with loose blue jeans.

Or, w/ a fluffy turtleneck:


Balmain - Fall 2019 rtw

With pointy-toed, lace up booties.
These are what they're wearing:




I'm waiting for these to come back in stock in my size:







Pleaser - VANITY-1020
4" heel, patent leather booty

Next up:
Pencil skirt w/ Men's shirt tucked into it:



Balenciaga - fall 2018

I own a bunch. One is belted pleather w/ cf buttons.
Can wear my Grandp'as old dress shirts w/ it.
