Fall wardrobe planning pt. IV

(photos* by me)

1. A pair of brogues or loafers ☑ 
2. Isabel Marant tweed/bouclé jacket
3. Clutch from Balenciaga or Mulberry Hobo from Balenciaga or Marc by Marc Jacobs ☑
4. Black O-neck sweater
5. An intense, inexplicable desire or an item from Isabel Marant ☑

Although I'm extremely strict concerning adding new items to my wardrobe, I allow myself to revise the "4/5 items a season"-list according to my needs. I realized that I don't really need a clutch right away, so I replaced the wish with a hobo bag that I actually need.

I've been searching for the perfect hobo bag for years. I need a shoulder bag that is sturdier than the canvas fabric tote I wear for school. I’ve been considering a black Balenciaga day bag, which seems rather perfect. As I already own a black Balenciaga city bag and might purchase a clutch in black from the same designer, I’d like to try something different. Besides, I don’t want to own three similar bags in black from Balenciaga at the age of 19. I reckon it’s over the top, and I do not want to become fed up with my Balenciaga bags either.

Despite I’ve always disliked Marc Jacobs; I made an exception for this lovely bag. There are plenty of reasons why I really dislike Marc Jacobs. Mainly the design, but I'll keep the other reasons to myself. I, however, decided to get my hands on this hobo from Marc by Marc Jacobs. It’s a model from 2006/2007 – exceptionally hard to hunt down. Eventually, I managed to track down the bag. On the other hand, my friend* has this bag and she made me fall in love with it. I've been craving her bag for quite some time and it’s finally mine. The bag is perfect. It even slouches perfectly. Due to my aversion to Marc Jacobs, I hope it doesn’t scream Marc Jacobs at all.
