Backpacks

I have been told many times by my chiropractor that I need to carry a backpack. My bags are quite heavy and contribute to my back pain. I am also lopsided at times. If I had a backpack that was made from such beautiful leather, then I would consider the idea. My excuse has always been that I have not found the right bag.

Impulse Buy

If you buy something on the spur of the moment, how soon afterwards do you regret the purchase? 

My first response to that question would be if I spent more than I could afford for the bag.

However, one month ago I purchased a bag at Forever 21. It was the first time I went to the store and I saw a bag that was cute and cheap.  Unfortunately, cute and cheap did not cut it. The bag has already fallen apart. I only used the bag a couple of times. When I pulled the bag from a pile I noticed that the buckle was broken. Later in the day I found a piece under my desk at work. Now I do not want to even look at the bag. I would rather spend more money on a bag that will last years, than buy something trendy and cheap.

Girl Friday

I purchased this cute purse last Thursday at Girl Friday during the Chick Advisor Shop Crawl. It was inevitable that one of my purchases would be a bag. I saw the bag and I thought that it would be perfect for my vacation. I will use it at night. The bag can either be held by the handle or folded and carried as a clutch.

The bag also came in black, gold, bronze and aqua.
