The Classics

(Coach bag, H&M striped top, Forever21 jacket, UO jeans, Dolce Vita booties)

Lo and behold, one of the lovely present my boyfriend got me for my 24th birthday last month -- Coach's classic City Bag. This is a bag I've been eyeing for quite some time now, drawn to it's timeless quality and style. Don't get me wrong, I love me a great neon, metallic, and leopard accessory, but every so often I'll want to keep things simple, uncomplicated, and classic whilst putting an outfit together. This is the kind of bag that, after you choose it to be your shoulder candy for the day, you will then decide on what clothing will best compliment its simplicity & sophisticated appeal. To sum it all up, this is most definitely one of my it bags; flawless leather that only gets better with age, versatile colour, classic shape, and most importantly, the strap sits oh-so-comfortably on my shoulder :) Worn with stripes, denim, and a little arm candy -- like I said, uncomplicated!

  23. I have this bag in black! (I originally wanted that luggage color like you but black happened to turn up in a local thrift boutique first) I love using it as a clutch.
