BAGS OF THE WEEK: D-to-the-M-to-the-X

So it's a beautiful spring day out, which meant that my first thought this morning was, "I can't wait to bust out my leather jacket with asymmetric silver zippers all over the front". It was the type of day that when the DMX song "Where the Hood At" comes on the radio, you shamelessly roll down your windows and turn it up so all your neighbors can judge you as you drive around your pathetically suburban/rural condo complex. I think these last few sentences pretty much sum me up, and my endless love for leather and hardware, especially with a touch of lace. The below bag options are a clear product of music and my addictions influencing fashion decisions.

Option #1: Perfectly adheres to my 5 Golden Rules For the Perfect Going Out Bag. It's genius because part of the strap can be removed so it can be easily switched from a cross-body bag, to an under the shoulder option. It's that little bit of detail that I appreciate. Plus, leather and zippers- what more does a girl need in life?

Option #2: Naturally my love for shiny objects caused my eyes to immediately gravitate to leather and silver studs, can you blame me?

Option #3: There's nothing like contrasting the badassness of crocodile skin and hardware, with a touch of lace
