"Okay, so my first true style splurge happened a little later in life (23, to be exact), but my Alex Wang Rocco was the first truly decadent thing I bought for myself with my very own money — thanks to my first-ever tax return. Sure, the responsible thing would have been to add to my savings, but this bag has brought me more happiness than any stuffy ol' bank account ever could. And, when has the responsible thing ever been this fun?"

Alexander Wang Rocco Bag, $925, available at Alexander Wang.
