I'm very peculiar when it comes to purses/handbags. In fact, I only have about 10 purses and handbags total! I don't like all-over patterns/prints, I don't gravitate towards double straps, and I don't want to pay more than $50 bucks for a bag. The most expensive I've ever paid for a bag is $80 bucks and that's my Ivanka Trump bag I got at TJ Maxx last year. So, you can imagine all the fuss I went through to find THE PERFECT handbag for me now that I'm a mom. Yeah, it was pretty ridiculous at times. These other ladies who saw me rummaging through the purse isles at the stores are probably scared for life! But you know? Now that I'm a mom, there's certain aspects in a handbag that I absolutely need - such as:
1. The strap has to be adjustable so if I need to wear it cross-body style, I can quickly do so. This does not work on a double strap purse so that automatically voided those types of bags out.
2. It has to be small enough so that I can quickly stuff it inside Anakin's diaper bag if it has to but, big enough to hold my wallet that has all of my information/cards/money/etc. It has to be big enough to hold my chapstick, my cellphone, my car keys, breast pads, thin pads and floss.
3. It has to have lots of outside pockets that are big enough to access and hold my cellphone and my car keys.
4. It has to be weather/baby material proof. Meaning, if I spill something on it, it can easily be cleaned.
5. For reason #4, it can't be more than $50 dollars so in case I accidentally spill something on it, I won't be as bummed out about it.
So you see, these necessities are simple but finding a bag that has all of these qualities are hard. That's why I snatched this bag up quickly when I saw it this weekend at my local TJ Maxx store. It had all of these qualities plus it only costs me $19.99! What a deal/steal! I'm set for now...
