I'm a big believer that I should decorate and stylize my whole baby situation for me and not the baby since she won't have her own opinion for a few years.
That being said, there aren't really any decently priced baby bags that appeal to me. Do I really need a "diaper bag", or can I survive with a large purse with some extra organization on my part?
Please give me some suggestions as to which accessories I should invest in to supplement the lack of extra pockets that most diaper bags have.
Re: Do I need a "diaper bag"?
This kind of makes me laugh, because you're basically looking for a purse that will do everything a diaper bag does, without being a diaper bag.
Of course you can make it work. You don't really need a million pockets if you don't want them... otherwise, you could always... buy a diaper bag.
Go with a "work tote".
But it will be destroyed. Purses aren't meant to hold leaky diapers and bottles and spilled bags of Cheerios.
Good luck!
I would hope so... I'm doin' it. I'm just not into stuff that won't be useful in the future. I went with the Grande LV Totally just so I can have a forever carry-on when baby gets older!
Good luck with your purchase! And FYI: many many Burberry bags in coated canvas are now made so that they can really be super-wiped down. I was just checking them out the other day. LV's coated canvas is the same too.

"Leaky diapers" scares me !! But it does help me think about what I should be looking for in an interior. I did pick out a cute one on my registry but I'm going to have to see it in person.
I was also thinking about a really cute one from Target or something. This way if i do have to toss it, I don't feel too bad about it.
Thanks!
Just another option to consider, as far as the 'wipeability' and leaky things...
I carry a Timbuk2 totebag for DD and it has a waterproof interior and I just turn it inside out and wipe it out if snacks spill or a sippy leaks. Works great for us - and it has all the pockets I could possibly want.
