The Handbag

So I want to discuss a topic that has been on my mind for a little while now. Handbags. I don't carry bags. I have a few bags in my possession: my school bag, a satchel, a olive green shoulder bag, an old Juicy Couture purse, and my go to party/hang out/everything under the sun crossbody purse. But I need more bags. I definitely don't have enough. But how do I know when enough is enough?

I think to myself, "Ok. I need a black bag, a white bag and a brown bag." But then I think, "I need all three of those colors in various shapes and sizes." Then I start thinking, "Oh! Look at that turquoise bag! It comes in yellow, coral and pink! That's perfect for the summer!" Then it turns into, "I don't have a beach bag... I need a beach bag... yea, get a beach bag." But I end up with no bags so that I don't overindulge. It's a little crazy. A lot crazy honestly. The biggest problem I have is finding good quality bags without spending a ton of money. I would love to buy Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors, but to be perfectly honest, I'm a recent college graduate who can't afford it at the moment. Maybe some years from now. Shoot maybe even by the end of the summer. But not now. So I have to buy on a budget, which right now means looking at everything, deciding I need everything and buying nothing. Ugh. Such is life.

Ladies, how do you deal with shopping on a budget? I know that there are women out there like me. Don't make me think I'm alone! Lol. But seriously, how do I make the decision to go ahead and buy something I know I need and just stop at that? Shopping gurus let me know!
