I am used to larger bags, but after a particularly difficult day of shopping, I realized I wanted a small bag for days just like this. I also wanted leather- real leather and I have a ridiculously small budget. And I prefer blue everything. Thus this purchase. I used it for the first time today, and It was exactly what I was hoping for. I wore it as a crossbody and barely knew it was there, it was so light weight. But I was able to put my car keys, my wallet, two lipsticks, my phone in my bag with more room to spare. The back zip pocket was great for keeping receipts, coupons and the like. I am soooo glad I took the chance on this bag. Oh, and I love the smell of real leather so I must look wierd as I kept sniffing my bag all day!
