I had to share this video I found on Yahoo! (click on thumbnail picture above or link below) which epitomizes how I feel about style and what I practice myself. As long as it fits right/looks good - then it doesn’t matter how much it costs, $5 or $500 (well…that upper limit is totally up to your discretion ;)) I’ve probably gotten just as many compliments on my dirt cheap sale bags/clothes as I have for all the ones that I’ve been like “ugh..I love it, but can I afford it?” about.  If anything I’m more willing to buy fun/risky/edgy things when they are bargains, because I know if I end up regretting it - so what? It was only a few $ rather than $$$$.

e.g. I match a pricey BCBG knit dress (that I actually removed the sleeves from), with a pair of pleather slouchy boots I picked up in Munich for <$50, with a Target jacket I got for around $30, all finished off with my lovely brown Longchamp Le Pliage tote. If you wear it well and are confident, no one will care or be able to tell.

Just like the name the Nine West “The Great Find” hobo is true to it’s name.  It comes in a variety of Autumn colors that I’m feeling right now as I write with the rain outside my window  and look out to golden leaves the same color as this bag.  I love the changing of the seasons I get up here in Seattle because not only does it remind me how varying and beautiful creation can be, but also..I have an excuse to change around my bags.  I’d definitely go from the light printed bags of summer to this sturdier and more structured croc style finish for autumn. The slight gathering at the sides and the pleats at the front work perfectly with the print of the Nine West Great Find hobo.  This bag gets it done fashionably without trying too hard.
