Shopping For: BAGS That Will Make You Cry Happy Tears

I had a dream last night that I was picking up my coffee to go and just when I was sprinting from one sidewalk to the other on my way to the office, in the coolest outfit ever I realised I wasn’t carrying any bag. You can imagine the terrified sartorial feeling that overcame me in the next minutes. It was of course a nightmare.

Yes I tend to be a drama queen at times, and this dream I had can certainly mean I’m obsessed with 1) coffee, 2) the OOTD hashtag, or 3) being sartorially incomplete, hence the terror I felt at the lack of a bag. Any bag.

I wonder why us women feel so naked without a bag? Do we really need it, or is the feeling of carrying some extra swag so intoxicating we can’t exist without?

A bit of both I should hope and a massive dose of BAG-LUST, a phrase I like to think I’ve just coined. It is that feeling when your stomach drops, your eyes water, you feel all flustered, and overcame with a desire to make-it-your-own – the moment you see beautiful bags.

I usually make an ‘ah’ sound, that I just can’t control.

Worse things have happened.

So what I did today, post-tarumatic-dream-sans-my-bag is I woke up with a bag-lust that would hopefully wash away my nightmare.
