A couple of weeks ago my mother in law surprised me with this handbag. I was visiting her house that day and then she gave me this handbag that she never worn before. I think my MIL is more shopaholic than I am ;) She's like Becky Bloomwood from The Confession of A Shopaholic series, Becky shopped quite a lot because she simply can't resist the shiny new things at the store and most of the time she ended with a lot of stuff in her wardrobe that she never wear, and some of her stuffs are even "lookalikes" or basically the same stuff that she bought twice because she forgot she already had one.

But as they always say, "a person's trash is another person's treasure", so some of my MIL unwanted or un-worn things are usually ended up with me (yay for me! :D)..
I have been given 3 bags before, some scarves, and a Chanel No.5 perfume, all were found on her cupboard storage!
This time she decided to clean some corner in her bedroom and found several bags that never been worn at all, well she thought most of them are not quite my style so she only save this black one that she thought I would wear.

This bag is a little bit big for my style but I like it's roominess and it's leather fabric. But I don't like that it has such a small opening for a quite roomy bag, that makes it a bit hard if you're looking for something inside your bag in a hurry. But hey, as long as it's free.. I wouldn't complain ^o^


Here are some bags among other things that I got as a hand-me-down from my MIL: a vintage Etienne Aigner bag and a creme TODS "lookalike" handbag.
