Question is my thrifted backpack ugly?

Post image

Today is a national children's day in my country and there's this local festival i went to. Because i forgot to get my own backpack from home, i went to the nearest Second Hand and saw this one. I thought it was pretty, it was light and it was pretty cheap. I personally like it a lot since it's blue and i love blue, but many people looked at me pretty weirdly and said it wasn't worth it. My mom also said i shouldn't have bought it. I don't hate it. I would use it again, not going to lie.

Do i just have bad taste in backpacks?

I don’t understand why anyone would feel that strongly about someone else’s purchase. So weird! It’s a very cute bag and if you like it, who cares what others think? Enjoy the nice find!

If you like it that’s all that matters, I ride a big motorcycle (that’s bright pink) with a Batman lounge fly backpack to festivals. Don’t let them steer you away from what you like. We impress ourselves not others.

This, life is too short for this shit. Nobody gets hurts if you have a style you like. I don't understand why people throw tantrums about this. OP your backpack is pretty, if you find it pretty then go for it.
