Lust of the Week: Urban Outfitters Pendleton Plaid Weekender Bag

via Urban Outfitters, $198

The other day I was trying to explain to Mr. Artist what exactly is a weekender bag. Yes, it's a bag, and you use it for the weekend - how complicated a concept is that? Apparently it was mystifying. Well, a weekender bag is to fit all the things you would need for an over-nighter at say a friends, the parent's, a lover's, an ex's... or whatever other exciting weekend trips you may embark upon. Thus, it must be able to fit exactly everything you would need, like 1-2 changes of clothes, extra pair of shoes, assorted toiletries, and a book to pass the time with. Maybe even a tiny laptop if necessary! This men's Pendleton bag was seen in the Urban Outfitters store downtown by myself and 2 girl friends and we were all sighing over its perfectly proportioned, preppy goodness. Alas, perfection also costs $200. Cheap enough to be attainable, but is it worth the value?



On another note, I'll be away all next week on vacation! I'll be thinking of you (and my steadily growing email inbox) while I take some time to go "off the grid," get a tan, and sip endless amounts of alcoholic cocktails. Hasta luego amigas!

I find it so hard to find the perfect weekender bag. Many are either too large or too small. And all the ones I like are too expensive. This is so cute - love the tartan design! But as you said, is it worth the $200?

I think it's worth the price but if I were to buy one, I'd get a plain black or brown.

So this is slightly bigger than a standard overnight bag? makes sense--and fills a niche.

Have a great time on vacation. But don't drink too much, save that for getting through the work week. Haha!

Oh it's so sweet! Hmm.. well I think that really it's worth what you're willing to pay for it. The more you love something I guess themore you're willing to pay.

Have fun on your holiday dear x

I love this bag! But it is a bit out of my price range, personally. I could definitely find something cheaper but you also have to keep in mind that you usually pay for quality so hopefully this bag is great quality since it is kind of pricey!!

Ooh that is a good one! Looks chic and unique but not trying too hard. I have been searching for a weekender bag but I cannot justify the price of them! Any durable and nice ones always come at such a high price :(

Happy Monday girl!

Oh man. My husband has the BEST weekender bag you've ever seen in your life. I need to steal it and take a photo for you.

You'd fall in love. This one's bad to the bone too!
