It's weird for me to carry a designer handbag. I'm not a handbag girl. I bought a purse out of necessity about three years ago when I needed to look nice for medical school interviews, and I chose a navy blue hobo-style shoulder bag from Nine West for about $100, which I thought was pretty damn expensive for what is essentially a container. Since then, I've been very happy with that bag and it still looks new. I've also accrued an assortment of other handbags, including totes and clutches, most of which I bought because they were dirt cheap, they came free with a purchase, or I didn't actually buy and they just mysteriously appeared.
I have definitely also never bought any type of clothing/fashion item this expensive. My personal philosophy on designer items is that 1) I generally don't like how they look that much anyways, 2) I feel like I could find something cheaper that looks essentially the same and 3) I don't feel the item is worth the price. Oh, and also I'm a student and don't actually have money. So it was really interesting for me to think about my first brush with a designer bag.
