Alexander Wang Rocco

This bag has been on my list for a few years now, but I've always put off getting it for reason or other. I was lucky enough to get it on SSENSE on sale a few weeks ago and I'm now using it as my everyday bag. I do agree with the consensus that the bag is really heavy. When it's empty, it's quite light, but gets heavy after putting in my everyday essentials.

I said in my previous post that I've been trying to downsize my closet. One of the other reasons I wanted to do this was so that I have more to spend on high quality items (way better than having a hundred trendy pieces from Forever 21). These past couple of months, I've been going crazy over designer items. I have 3 major purchases that I wanted to share, but I'll be detailing the items in separate posts. Two of the purchases have been on my "must have item" list since they were released.

Downsizing

I recently discovered the "editing/curating your closet / french wardrobe" trend and have been really interested in implementing it to my own closet. I have so many clothes, but I still struggle in the mornings to decide what to wear. I usually end up putting together the same outfit. I feel like 80% of my clothes are unused and are taking up space that I can use for my growing handbag collection instead.

There are tons of blogs detailing the "rules" of how to edit your closet so I won't rehash it here. I'm pretty much set in terms of key clothing pieces (ex. quality leather jacket, tailored coat, black jeans), but I'm still looking for the perfect basic tees and a pair of good quality blue jeans. I guess it's good that the Aritzia Private Presale is starting soon as I'll be purchasing my foundational wardrobe items there!

Here's what I'm planning to buy during the Aritzia sale:

Pretty boring looking, but this is basically what I wear everyday. If you've read the old posts on this blog, you'll notice that the Mackage Kenya is back on the list. I actually sold my old one as it was too big for me. 

I bought the Mackage Florica (picture below), but it's pretty casual looking. I might end up selling it once I get the Kenya.
