huge totes

I was obsessing over this tote for the longest time. I wanted something huge so that I could shove all my supplies and student notebooks in, yet I wanted something stylish still. The bags I already had were just plain striped ones, not that there's anything wrong with that but I wanted something that was "me". Of course I never got it because it was very pricey and that's crazy to spend on something that I would only be using for school. Plus, I have a thing of needing to see and touch something before I purchase it. I kept looking for it in stores because I wanted to see how wide I could actually stretch it.




I ended up receiving both of these as gifts. It's funny how 2 different people got me a tote that wasn't plain. I do love buckles, belts, studs, and braided handles on bags. My only gripe is that the braided handle one hurts when you shove too much into it. I had used it for a trip into the city with the girls and as I was running around for transfers, the rope started to really burn my shoulder.
