since earlier this week
have been bombarded with
deals for Single’s Day
i don’t really have anything
that I am dying to buy
*
but i need an everyday bag
i mean i want one
that i can just grab and go
with only the essentials
and during travel too
of course
*
which is neither too small
can’t fit in my long wallet
nor too big that i tend to
stuff in more and more
*
so i started to look around
and found the follows:
(1) Fossil crossbody sling bag
yay:
- black/brown go with everything
- smart casual is a plus point
nay:
- don’t feel good about using leather
- can’t fit a water bottle
- falling more for the outfit > bags
*
(2) Crumpler messenger bag
yay:
- non-leather
- bigger capacity
- at least for a water bottle
nay:
- too casual
- a bit too big for certain occasions
- not really a brand i relate to
*
since i can’t really make up my mind
i just leave them for awhile
i strongly believe in first sight
if i can’t make up my mind
it probably means
i don’t really like them that much
*
then i got this on Facebook
spot the error
*
so 12 AM on Nov 11
i got in to see what are
they offering and found
an item on my wishlist
is actually 50% off
i didn’t know how come
it ended up on my wishlist too
*
(3) Herschel tote bag
yay
- favorite color and brand
- super good deal
nay
- i don’t need a tote
- 12 oz denim is heavy
- tends to clash with my outfit
*
but payment failed
so i was stuck since
this was the last item
*
and soon the voucher code
i was trying to use
was already fully redeemed
when i was trying to check out
something else instead of bag
*
but i never expect Lazada actually
sent me an exclusive code
to make up for the discount
i was supposed to enjoy
*
when i woke up in the morning
with the chance to check out
i don’t feel like getting it anymore
because well obviously that was
an attempt of impulse purchase
thank goodness payment failed
*
so i decided that i will
utilize the voucher code
on some groceries, probably
*
then i came across
(4) Herschel Fifteen hip pack
yay
- only the essential
- look really good
nay
- too small, isn’t it
*
then i kinda lost track
among their chambray collection that
i kinda realize that i am actually
falling for the color/brand
instead of finding a bag that
really fits in what i need in the first place
*
their hip packs come in a few sizes
maybe Seventeen is a better choice
as it obviously fits in a water bottle
Rakuten sellers are awesome for this
but then again
it could be a bit too bulky
*
Hip/fanny pack
Belt/bump/waist bag
they basically mean the same
*
i have to own up that
i like hip pack partly because
i like to see guys carrying one
so i am not sure if i really
want it for myself
*
damn
what am i stressing myself
over shopping which is
supposed to have reversed effect
*
by the way
then i decided
i am just going to
concentrate on the bag
*
so that would take
Fossil and Herschel off the list
and went on to explore others
but i was still equally confused
and ended up looking at bags
that i don’t really need at the moment
*
such as Jansport
*
and Outdoor Products
*
then i found this
(5) Outdoor Products X Pacman chest bag
yay:
- love at first sight
- makes a better chest bag > hip pack
nay:
- pricey
- childish (so me)
*
i mean yeah
i was looking for hip pack
because i thought it will
make a good chest bag
the same goes to crossbody sling
*
but i actually forgot that
chest bag is actually
a type of bag on its own
i.e. an one-sided mini backpack
which can be used as a cross body
*
forgive me for cropping the face
because i just wanna focus on the bag
*
and here’s another design
and their entire collection
celebrating 35 years of Pacman
but i still prefer the first
http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000106290/
*
but no worries
i am in no hurry to decide
but obviously i strongly suspect
i will go for the Pacman chest bag
as my voucher code is valid until
*
damn
of all choices
i rather go for the one
without any mark down
