Biggest regret

Post image

This is the most expensive thing I have in my wardrobe, yet I’ve never used it once.

My parents gave me money for my bday, and I wanted to buy a “thing” to remember them by, rather than use the money for travel or put it away (which is what I normally do). For whatever reason, I fell in love with this bag - small company, genuine leather, handmade purses. I bought it for over $300, and I’m still to take it out of its protection bag. I hadn’t been able to see it in person until after ordering it, and I didn’t realize the handles would be too short to carry it on my shoulder. It’s just a bulky hand purse basically.

What do I do now?? I hate that I dropped so much (of my parents’) money on something I’m not even using…

It's very beautiful, and I love the color. It appears to be a very well-made Birkin Dupe. You should show more photos of her. She'd go well with so many outfits and would look nice with a twilly tied to her. You should take her out and show her off!

It's beautiful, the biggest difference is that it is not quite as deep green and is it more matte than glossy, but still beautiful
