Shopaholic

I expressed before that I love shopping. I'm not as bad as some people, especially by New York standards. But I do an awful lot of online browsing. Along with being a frequent shopper, I am also an indecisive one. I can seldom buy anything without someone else's opinion. So I've decided to start a new little something on my bloggy blog: Take it or Leave it. I'll post something I'm eyeing on a weekly basis and you tell me if I should run to the store or run away. This week, take a peek at this beauty. I saw it last week at Brooklyn Industries and yay, they're having a 30% off bags sale. I liked it before I looked closer and noticed the nifty sewing machine and button print. That adds to the sweetness of it, but also maybe to the dorky over-the-top-ness of it. I do need a more casual bag, as I worry about taking my designer ones on the crowded dirty subway all the time. I also need something I can fit my gym shoes and clothes in. Brooklyn Industries also offers a lifetime bag guarantee and it appears easy to clean. However, this may be the type of thing I get over real quick, and the cuteness might be too overwhelming. At 25, am I too old for so much...um...whimsy? Further, it's not too expensive but money isn't ever really flowing on my end. Last, and perhaps most important, on the website's description, it says, " The Large H-Bag series has been a great hit with stylish moms, who use H Bags as a diaper bag/handbag". Whoa whoa whoa hold the phone. Do I really want a hip mommy diaper bag? Good God. This seems like a very alienating selling tactic but who am I to judge. If I get the smaller version does it make me less of a Park Slope stroller mafia wannabe member? Clearly, I need your opinion. Comment away!
