handbag dielma
« my superbowl sunday do I know you? »
I love my clutch, I wear it with pretty much every outfit. I get compliments on it all the time, people always ask me if it’s an antique, and I love that. But, it’s a clutch, which means it’s small. It barely fits my phone, wallet, keys, a pen, and small tube of lip gloss.
(Please don’t laugh at my very crappy cell phone made in 1975, I don’t want to spend money on a new one.)
I want to start carrying around my sketchbook and small box of colored pencils, because I really need to be drawing from life everyday. My blog drawings are wonderful and fun, but it’s not the same kind of practice as drawing from life. So, I was thinking of getting a large handbag, I have a couple of bigger ones, but I don’t love them as much as I love my clutch, and the thought of buying another big handbag breaks my heart a little as if I were betraying my lover. Instead, I’m going to look for a sexy laptop bag, which can also hold everything. It would be perfect for work! The only problem now is that all of the larger laptop bags I see, that I like, are a lot more expensive than I thought they would be. Apparently I’ve been living in a dream world where everything only costs $30.
“Oh, you’re a pretty one, I could totally see myself with you… HOLY CRAP! $495??? WHYYY GOD WHYY?”
Having expensive taste and hating to spend money is a very bad combination.

My laptop goes with me in a bag I bought at the Apple store. Because it was easy. And I’m lazy…

nicole, yeah right now I have a unisex gray laptop messenger bag that came with my laptop. Doesn’t add very many points to my girliness index which I want to increase.

Nix, I have checked etsy for laptop bags but didn’t find anything that screamed “TINA TAKE ME! I’M YOURS!”. I do love etsy for their jewelry though, it’s awesome.

Holy crap! I love your clutch! Your pictures didn’t show up on bloglines so I read the post without seeing the clutch, then when I saw it I understood why you’re having such a dilemna!
I was going to say Aldo sounds like a good plan, then saw your comment about that being where the clutch is from. Sounds perfect. Hope you find the one that’s so perfect your clutch won’t even be jealous!

THAT IS A GREAT CLUTCH!
And $495? yeah, forget that. I don’t even have a laptop so I can’t help you out unfortunately ;-) But you must show us what you end up getting

That is a great clutch.
Check out Acme Made, they have a few slim, clean, streamlined laptop bags. I’m sure you’ll like them.

Dude, it took me 20 years before I’d even carry a purse. I’m not very girly though. I have good taste, and it’s expensive as well, but growing up with a financial advisor as a father taught me early on to buy it at Target or not at all. :)
Target does have some nice bags, by the way.
