To Trench is To Be Divine

Yeah, I just made that up. I took advantage of my "no school/no internship yet" day and stayed in my robe (yes, robe) until 1pm today. But don't worry. I made up for it by doing my work-out video. I ventured outdoors once and once only to return a few items I bought at H&M. I was so tempted to buy several things, namely, two AMAZING trench coats, perfect for the Fall season that's rapidly approaching! I was tempted, I pondered, I tried on and looked in the mirror multiple times!...and then I put the coats back on the rack and walked away. This is pretty incredible of me, especially since this lady saw me with one of them on and told me how perfect it fit me and how good it looked on me. Thanks for nothing, lady! But actually, I love that lady. And I'm afraid that, for $59.95, I'll be returning a.s.a.p to that lovely H&M store to purchase [at least] one of the two wonderful and totally affordable (I just remembered, I get paid tomorrow!) trench coats!
Besides, I have not.one.single.trench.coat.in.my.wardrobe! It's justified.(That's not the one I'm talking about, but it's adorable, too! Ugh! H-n-M, you kill me)

Oh, and blazers. I'm gonna need one or two of these, since my internship will probably require me to dress up a bit. Again, justified.

(But the actual one is a lot nicer looking. Yes, for me, this is "dressing up")

I'm a Little Slow

I recently have noticed a fashion trend going on. It seems that all of a sudden, every other woman I see has this style of bag on their shoulder:
I couldn't help wonder what is it about this bag that makes it SO popular! I think the same thing about Coach and Louis Vuitton bags. Why do women spend hundreds of dollars for a purse with a bunch of letters all over it?! It just doesn't compute in my brain. I'm sure others wondered the same about me, but on the other end of the spectrum when I used to wear baggy corduroy pants from thrift stores and boys' skateboard shoes. Why would I spend money on that stuff, right? Actually, someone did wonder something similar about me and asked me once. It was my childhood crush, to be exact. I'll never forget it. We were in high school by this point, and though I would never have his heart, I still had this long-lasting crush on him. That is, until he asked me the question, "Why do you wear guys' shoes?". I don't even remember the answer I gave him. I was kinda embarrassed (duh), and I think I said something like, "Because I just like them. They're comfortable". We kinda laughed about it, but it was then that I knew he would never love me for me. Well, he would never love me, regardless, but I think I learned something from that moment. I remember thinking, if he doesn't like me because I don't wear the "right" shoes, then he's not for me. Anyway, I don't know what that story has to do with the trendy bags I was talking about, but that's where my thoughts took me.

And apparently those bags have been around for a few years, according to a classmate of mine, but I just started noticing them recently. Funny. I guess I've never been one for the fashion trend world.
