Goodies from TheOutnet bag sale

Update: Both bags are spoken for! I'm so happy that these are going to gals who missed out :)

In the frenzy of yesterday's TheOutnet bag sale, I snagged an Alexander Wang mini Rocco. However, then a Miu Miu clutch became available, and I thought I'd rather have that instead since I need a black clutch. I called to cancel my AW order, but the phone lines were swamped, so although they took my details, the bag got shipped last night anyway!


So I got both bags this morning (super amazingly fast shipping!). The AW is cute and I love touching it and holding it, but I really cannot justify it right now (when I am supposed to be saving for business school!). It's too large of a purchase, and I don't really need a day-to-day bag, so it would be quite naughty to keep it.

So before I return it, I am offering the bag to anyone interested. It sold out pretty quickly, so I figure there might be a girl out there who is sad she missed out. I'm not looking to make a profit-- I paid $531.15 total (bag, tax, shipping), so that's what I'd ask from anyone who wants it. However, the return window closes in 14 days, so it would likely be final sale. Anyways, if you're interested, let me know. The product page is here, and I found an archived product on NAP which seems to match up exactly. And comparing the real thing to the photos, I think they're one and the same. The strap is wound up in tissue paper properly (I didn't open it), and there's a black AW dustbag as well.


On another note, the Miu Miu clutch I got, which was a great deal, is HUGE. I put a picture of me below holding it-- what do you think?? It's 15" wide! Obviously it is right out as an evening bag, but is it even too big and unwieldy to be a day clutch? My coworker thinks I'm too petite for it, but friend Kelly is a fan. I'm torn. Please weigh in! It was $298.16, so it wouldn't be worth keeping if I can't use it...

  1. That clutch is way too big for your tiny frame! I agree that it's a great deal, but deals are only worth it if you end up using it. I would send it back.

    Gaaah are you selling that one? The miu miu I will take! It's such a cute one, although I think it looks big because you're holding it right in front of you/ weird angle, it could work under the arm or clutched on the side.
