How I wear my - tote bag

This month I decided to participate in "How I wear my..." round up once again - I'm really enjoying it and the topic was very inspiring. I love totes and back at home in Kyiv I have quite many of them. As now I'm living out of a suitcase once again, my options to chose were limited, but of course I brought my two absolute favorites with me. The fabric one with the sheep print is going to be featured in one of my future posts, so I decided to showcase this one instead.  

Bag - Lonchamp Le Pliage M in beige; Jeans - thrifted; Shoes - Vans Atwood Delux in grey; Faux leather jacket - Pimkie; Colourful aztec print scarf - from Pratunam market in Bangkok; Red scarf - from street market in Kyiv.

Here is my latest love, a Longchamp Le Pliage in beige. Yes, it’s more of a warmer months bag, but we had a very warm winter on Sicily this year and I feel like I’m living through the fourth month of spring now. Also I absolutely adore this bag—it’s perfect for my current lifestyle. As a PhD student I'm going to many seminars, to the library, for study sessions with one of my friends, and this bag always gets very handy - it fits all of my notebooks, planners, pens, as well as some snacks and a big water bottle. 

I’d love to have this bag also in navy in the near future—navy and brown look gorgeous and very versatile.

BTW, this place is called Piazza Pretoria (or Piazza Vergonia, Square of Shame) and it's one of my favorite places in Palermo. You definitely need to check it out if you come to Sicily.

I want to say a huge thank you to Jill and Adrienne who created this project back in 2011 and continue working on it with so much passion and inspiration! It's a real pleasure for me to participate in this round up every months, and this year I'd love to be more consistent with it. Forza!
