If I thought I needed a bag I would graduate from being relatively unprepared (keys, money, cell phone) to overly prepared for every possible contingency. I would put a few things in a backpack, and then a few more, and then even more.
Over the last few years I have misplaced my wallet on a few occasions due to the fact it slips out of my back pocket. Women's jeans are just not meant for wallet people. This happened a couple of weeks ago and B.A.R. joked with me about needing a bag of some kind.
I was starting to warm up to the idea because I was tired of always carrying my planner around (this is meaningful when you realize I still carry my 15 month old around too) along with anything else that was "necessary" for my outing. A backpack was more than I wanted. I really just wanted a wallet I could wear that would hold my planner. I actually spent two whole days at the end of February searching for the right bag for me.
I found many I liked, most were the right bag, but they wouldn't hold my planner (or much more than a diaper and sunglasses). Or I they would hold my planner, and my laptop, and every toy my child owns. Really. I just wanted a smallish bag.
I happened upon a store at Park Meadows that I had never seen before. and I went in for a look. The first bag I pulled off the shelf was too big, but the second one was soooooo good I knew I was in love. I tried really hard to find a bag I liked almost as much for less money, but I could not. I did buy this one on ebay for about $10 off MSRP, but it is still a hefty price tag. But it's ok, I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this bag, and I only got it in the mail yesterday.
It's a Vera Bradley Mailbag in Cupcakes Green. It may seem funny, but I had never even heard of Vera Bradley before I walked into that store and fell in love (with a bag).
There is only one problem. It's not my "purse" because I am not a purse person. My new bag needs a name. Any suggestions?

I really like your new bag. The colors and the design are really cool. I'm glad you found one you like.
Why not just call it "my bag"?
I know someone who loves Vera bags. She calls it her 'pocketbook.' Course, that's what my grandma called her purse, so I refuse that title. I used to hate purses. I used to hate most things like that. Then I found one that I really fell in love with. Now, I have a very few that I'm emotionally attached to. But to those few, I'm more attached than a person should be. Enjoy your new Vera!!
The Green Monster.
Also, Gumby, Greenzilla, Jolly (Green Giant), uh......um.....The (Green) Hornet........The Al Gore, cuz, ya know-he's sooo GREEN.....( I just know you'll LOVE that one!). I think of any more...I'll let ya know.
What about your satchel? Kinda old school, I know, but still good.
Love the new satchel, by the way, very cute. (See? It just flows off the tongue)
yep this looks like you!
Love the bag! I would call it Sprite.
I see an issue here...the bag matches the green polyester dress suit you bought in Russia 10 years ago!! It's the same color!!!!
