Where did u get that - luxe leather shopper







I tapped Teresa on her shoulder from behind after saying 'excuse me' approximately 4 times (each time getting embarresingly louder).  The tap caused her to semi scream, popping out her ear plugs as she spun around. 

A blurted out how I loved her bag (and shirt) and we both laughed at her reaction. Her leather shopper is by MAJE in Paris (she reached in to show me the label). I thought it was the perfect throw on bag that looked so chic and luxe.  In a sea of bags with hardware and buckles it shows the plainer is still sometimes the better. 

What I also loved was her showing how you can make one colour ie. black work by wearing it in different texures. This applies to any one shade: wear it in different texures (this applies to home decor in one shade too). Her fringe cowboy shirt (LOVE it) and shades are from the same vintage shop in Brooklyn (I will go check it out soon and report back).  

Similars to her look:

Topshop Western shirt (in brown) or try a differently decorated stud shirt instead (mens perfectly oversized).
eBay (bear in mind when looking, it's how you will wear it. They have killer shirts to translate to the street).
Alexander Wang Shopper
Jessica Jensen or check Zara for a dark version of mine
Genetic Denim shorts
ASOS flats
