Handbag search continues.

I am not an easy shopper. I can't just go into a store and find something. Yes, sometimes I have my impulse buys, but most of the time I have a whole list of criteria to go through before I buy something. One of the items that suffers this list the most? Bags.

I love a good bag, I really do, but you wouldn't know it if you met me. Right now I have this granny looking low-slung braided brown bag that really looks like I wove it together myself. I'll admit I'm tired of it, but right now it's just so perfect for all my needs, and I haven't been able to find another to replace it.

For one, the strap is long so when I wear it over one shoulder, it hits right there my hand does and I can keep a nice grip on the opening. It's really easy to reach in and get my keys or cell phone. There's a smaller inner pocket that can stay open or zip closed which is perfect for storing the smaller items (keys, phone, flash drive) and I can clip my school badge onto it and never worry about losing it. It also has a snap closure on the inside which makes it easy to close and open, no annoying zippers. Another reason I can't give up this bag is the space inside. It's a rather small bag in comparison to the huge monster bags that some girls carry around, but I can still fit my wallet, checkbook, a bottle of water, a bunch of crap, and a snack in it without it looking bulgy. Perfect fit.

Right now I think the only other kind of bag I'd get is a nice fringed hobo. I thought I saw one I liked at Target, but when I went back to give it the ol' critique it totally failed. So now I'm still searching, and still using my granny bag.
