Handbag shopping

I'm thinking of using some birthday cash to buy a new purse. I typically buy a bag every 4-5 years and it's usually a small red leather bag.

I still carry around a diaper bag even though DD is potty trained because my current bag is too damn small. I don't want anything huge either. Just an in-between. I'd like to spend around $100.

I've seen one of these seatbelt bags before and really liked it. Would I look silly with something so bright?

    @bearsbearsbears You're right. Stuff might get stuck in the basket weave. I don't think it will tear since it's seat belts, but yeah, those colors are bright. I loooove polka dots. I wish they had better color combos. They have white with blue polka dots, but the white is going to get so dirty.

    Oh, and we don't have Nordstrom :( I need to hit the outlets, but they're 1.5hrs away and shopping with DD sucks.

    I clearly have a problem and need a style intervention. These are my only bags besides the diaper bag. The small one I bought 5 years ago. The messenger bag is about 10 years old and it used to be my work bag.

    Does anyone know any good discount websites for bags? We don't have many stores here.

    Honestly, I have a black leather Coach bag. It goes with everything and it still looks brand new 2 years later. Most handbags I buy from cheaper places fall apart or look crappy by now. I just go to the coach outlet. I think I spent a quarter of the price the bag costed originally.

    My large one is Coach and has barely worn out in 10 years. Sadly, they closed the Coach outlet. Those punks! I can't afford retail prices.

    Try 6pm.com, handbagheaven.com or overstock.com. Crossbody purses are very in right now. Good luck!

    @Bearsbearsbears I checked out the Nordstrom website and found something cute and it even comes in red...but it's out of my budget range.

    Must find a knock off. I only have 6,000 more bags to check out on the 6pm website....
