So, I'm on the hunt for a new purse. I want a brown, professional looking bag. I like structured, big, leather, cross-body, anything really..I just need a new bag and can't find anything I like at my usual stores so I'm asking you ladies! 
Preferably not too expensive, maybe cap off at $100? I change purses so often I'm really not looking to buy a hella expensive bag.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: that's cute! Do you get annoyed with the length of the handles? I find myself always trying to put them over my shoulder even though I know I can't haha!
@lawbee11: oooooh. I really like that! Bonus points because it's got a cross body strap!

@MrsTiz: The bag I use has the option of a cross-body strap and it's one of my favorite features. It's so much easier to wear it cross-body while I'm carrying LO, pushing the stroller, etc.

@MrsTiz: what is that third bag?? I must have! Except it's probably Frye in which case I will never have.

I always see cute stuff at DSW! Here are a few I just found at different prices. The last one is my fave and has the cross-body strap but it's a bit of a splurge over $100 (it's $150).

@MrsTiz: DSW is great! The stores are basically gigantic rooms filled with shoes and bags, haha. And everything is marked down, which is always good in my book. I end up spending forever there walking down the aisles trying on all the shoes. My H just looooves going there with me... 
@Anagram: Me too! I keep trying to tell myself I don't need more bags but it's definitely tempting...

@MrsTiz: ha ha, no! I wanted a top handle bag and not a shoulder bag at all. The annoying thing about this bag is that the interior isn't roomy. I don't put alot of stuff in my bags anyway, but I like my arm to have more space to fish for stuff.

@MrsTiz: WHAT is the first bag you showed?! It's beautiful!! (I'm piggy backing off your post since I want a brown bag too!)

Then we can wipe away our tears of joy with hundred dollar bills?

@swurlygurl: @MrsTiz: Me too! I got what I *thought* was a nice-ish purse last year fir X-mas to replace the $3 Ecuadorian market stall one I'd been using for YEARS. It is completely falling apart and I've been using it for only a year--these are exactly what I'm looking for--Thanks!
