Balen Leather Shoulder Bag (Nordstrom Exclusive)

This is a well designed bag. I was on the waitlist for it in my wish list and managed to get it somehow. Now that it's here, I am not so sure I want it. It's fantastic in that it has two separate compartments but I have one other bag of similar size. I love that this is leather and comes with the adjustable strap, but it's too big (exceeds required dimensions) for arena/concert events, and to wear it for weddings and such, it would be perfect...only how many of those events will I have to attend per year? Maybe one or two? I can't justify $150 (on sale) for once or twice a year use, so this will most likely be going back.

This is a beautiful bag. When I finally opened it up and took out the paper it was really just too small for me. Just large enough for my big phone, lip gloss and small card case. I have a few bags of similar size so I ended up returning.
