The rest of the time, I have a humongo mommy bag I carry around. But at least it's cute and orange and NOT a backpack :) I have one pink purse which is cute and small and just fits my cell phone and lipstick and wallet.

I was just cleaning snack crumbs out my pathetic excuse for a purse (actually a baby blue and yellow diaper bag) and thought how cool it would be to have a REAL NICE REAL purse. To echo Erica...this thought never crossed my mind until today. I meet the criteria: 32, kids. Yup. I always wondered why my mom owned a zillion purses? Now I know why! This article should help me on my hunt. Thanks! What a koinkydink.

Most of them are made really well, especially Coach. I've had mine for a year and it's still in great condition, even with grubby little hands digging through it. Erica - good girl! You have caught on well. Whenever I am out with my mother, I'm always like, "Gee. This purse is so beautiful, too bad I can't afford it." (Bat eyelashes) Then, these gorgeous materpieces that actually hold shit, magically appear during the holidays. Score! Oh, and an added bonus, you can sell much of those designer bags for like $10 less than you paid for it, on ebay. It's a win/win. (No wonder most of the world hates Americans, we're so shallow and we like it that way!) Kristin - definitely worth the investment for a nice designer bag.

Since we don't have the dough for me to just go out and buy a bag, I've taken to asking for them for special occassions... birthdays, Christmas... So far I've landed a Kate Spade, and next up is a big, bad Coach. MILFs with great purses unite!

Clutch? What the hell is that? Anyway, I really want a DB bag. I've NEVER bought an expensive bag before - but now that I've gone through about 3 $40 bags in the past few months, I'm thinking it's worth the investment.
