What I needed was:
- A bag that was large enough to pack clothing in if necessary. I have had situations where my carry-on suitcase just didn't have the capacity to fit my clothes too (looking at you Kentucky trip).
- Easily accessible pocket to store things that I need to reach for like my ID and tickets
- A stylish bag
Originally, I had my heart set on the the Lo & Son’s O.M.G. bag, but that one is going to cost a really pretty penny. The reason why I was really leaning toward the O.M.G. bag was because there was a separate compartment for shoes which not many other bags have. The size of this bag is: base 16”, depth 6”, and height 13.5, handle 9” drop.
The Victoria Charisma first caught my eye because it was on sale at Hautelook. It was a similar size to the OMG.
If you're unfamiliar with Hautelook, it is a flash sale website where you can buy clothing, beauty, and home items.
Fortunately, I found it for $65 with a 10% off code and shipping at 6pm. I would suggest you shop around before you commit to purchasing from anywhere. Most likely you will be able to find it for a lower price. The particular bag I purchased has sold out on 6pm, but it is still available at Nordstrom Rack.
