I was never a big fan of clear bags until they became trendy and I started to see them everywhere. To be honest, I think they are still a bit weird, but for attending concerts or sports events, I really did need one. I took a purse smaller than this into a game and got it confiscated, as it was over the bag size limits. Of course I condone safety, so I started to look for clear bags that were both large enough for me to put my items in, and sorta cute. I'm so glad I found this bag, because I actually plan to pair this with some of my outfits for future vacations. It is completely waterproof (since it is plastic), is really good quality, and is a great size. I highly recommend this purse!
