Aspirational Bags
Is it me or do most girls have a bag they’re hell-bent on buying once they finally make it as a “real live grown up?”
I have two.
First, when I’m a real live grown up who stops with the Ikea furniture and the candy and the nail-biting, I shall buy a Chloe bag like this one. The blue is killing it. (Because what’s more grown up than spending a month’s rent on a bag?)

And then, when I’m a real live grown up and I’ve recently knocked off a bank (kiddddding), I shall wait on a list for two plus years and starve myself and stop paying rent (so grown up) to buy the Hermes Birkin:

(Hopefully it’ll come in Shark, but beggars can’t be choosers.)
I wouldn’t buy into the Birkin hype had I not seen one on a random woman in Duane Reade. I legit could not stop staring to the point where I think she thought I was going to mug her. It’s seriously gorgeous in person. (Also, if you don’t want people to stare, don’t carry a $10,000 bag in Duane Reade. I mean.)
Anyhow, what’s yours?
