Handbag Hell

Ok. That's a bit dramatic, but I don't enjoy shopping for purses. 

Confession: I've used the same purse since 2004 and same work bag since 2008. These facts aren't so shocking or even terrible. It represents my aversion to shopping, particularly for those items that most likely carry a large-ish price tag. Plus, I LOVE my work bag and still get compliments.

Another interesting turn-of events: in high school all the cool girls had Kate Spade. And then one day I got my own! And it was an awesome bag and an awesome day. (Equally memorable was the day it was stolen). Then, as often happens with these things, one day the cool girls were over it. And my Kate Spade bag and I were quite confused, so it was confined to the closet. And wouldn't you know it, Kate's bags are back with a vengeance. Perhaps I'll bring my vintage out of retirement.

Here are some I'm mulling:

Ame & Lulu. Wouldn't I look like a grown-up?

Oh, you thought I wouldn't post a pink one? The Leather Satchel Co.
