Looking For A New Everyday Bag

It is time for me to get a new everyday bag. I have difficulty making up my mind as I can't seem to find anything that interest me. On top of hating to shop there are so much choice that it gives me a headache. I know some of you love to shop but this is a thing that I loathe more and more. I have looked at so many stores here and also hundreds of websites and probably thousands of pictures. I am not looking for a designer bag. Still, no decision. But I have to make one soon, as I really, really need a new everyday bag.

@marlina I find that if I am looking for a bag I can't seem to find one I like. It's when I am not looking and have no money that one suddenly appears.

I love shopping for a new purse. But it is a challenge sometimes to find the right one. I'm too practical and want it to go with everything I have! Which is strange because I often have many different bags, but hate to change from one to another.

I was doing the same thing a month ago - I got one at Belk that I love, totally by accident I found it. It's a fossil and all leather but not super pricey and I got it 40 percent off. Good luck!

I understand your frustration. Needing a good, solid everyday bag is important for us. My needs have changed over time. I used to enjoy carrying a bag, and I sometimes enjoyed a shoulder bag, although my shoulders don't allow a bag to stay up there! lol So I now go for a crossbody bag, and that alone narrowed my own searches. I've found a couple of bags that are large enough for what I need, and they allow me to use my walker when I need to, without worrying about my bag. So I'd say, picture the bag in your head that you really want. You might even want to search through amazon.com, since they have a lot of bags. Get a real idea for exactly what you want and that might make it easier to find the right one! Good luck!

Good and sensible advice here, thanks. I don't know why I am so hesitant. I need a medium size bag. I have looked at so many already.

@ShifaLk, even when I am in a good mood, shopping always manages to put me in a bad mood.

I get all my bags from thrift stores. Sometimes I do see designer bags there--I know you're not looking but you did mention them!--but I generally don't like the designs. The bags at thrift shops are usually ones that someone bought, used a couple of times, then it sat in their closet for months or years until they cleaned it out. I got a bag I really like a few months ago, it is green leather and when I looked it up it was actually a name brand and it was real leather! I like the features, it has everything I need and nothing I don't and I paid $2 for it. It looks like new. So I really, really, like to shop at the thrift (secondhand) stores! I hope you find something that you like. I know how hard it is to find exactly the right one!

I got a nice new everyday bag for Christmas and it's very small but big enough for my wallet and phone. It's easy to carry and has a nice long strap for wearing across the body if you desire. I always have a hard time picking out a new bag too

I really hate shopping for a purse too, And my favorite store in this area is going out of business and that is another problem. Maybe you`ll find what you are looking for soon.
