What I Wore Wednesday: my new Aldo bag!!!

So, I had been reading up on Rose a'la Mode, and Linda shared this a-mazing bag from Aldo that she got for her birthday. It was $50... only to be marked down to $35! Hey- $15 saved is $15 saved. And saving is my favorite.

I got online to check it out and yuuuppp, the clearance was still there! However, I'm an impatient lady, and we just so happened to be visiting Dallas that weekend. Visit = trip to the mall to Aldo (instead of ordering online and waiting for it to arrive).

We showed up right when the store opened. They had ONE BAG on the shelf. My bag. I checked the price... $50. What the what?! I immediately asked about the online price. She checked. Bada bing, bada boom, she marked it down. Yes! It pays to ask and double-triple check!

I had this style of bag pinned on my Fashion and Style board from Marianna's blog:

it has short straps to carry on your elbow like a bowler bag, ORRR a long strap to wear the bag as a messenger bag (which I have done both of, already). It is efficient, roomy, ADORABLE, and practical! So glad I finally found my own!
