I use those flat totes on weekdays. Perfect to carry a magazine in and that bottle of water I always take along. On the weekends and nights I go out I like to wear my fashion handbags.

Hey, Angie, thanks for making me feel fashionable… I bought one of these back in January! And mine was very inexpensive too, $11 on winter clearance at JCP!

And, I love it, it’s so easy on the shoulder. The fact that it doesn’t stand up can be problematic, but most of the time it’s fine. I love the slim profile and it’s easy to find stuff because it’s so spacious.

This is great info(especially the post on healthy handbags)! My parents gave me a merlot-colored work tote when I gradutated from college, and it has been fantastic for carrying papers and files without causing strain or wrecked papers. If there are no organizing features in my bags, I don’t end up using them, and now I realize why! Tons of junk in my bags is uncomfortable! Is there a way to keep all those small ‘essentials’ from becoming a mess in the bottom of a bag if it doesn’t have interior pockets?

I have actually bought three(!) of these for this summer: cream, yellow and red; but in lesser quality and very inexpensive – each below $20. I am currently not carrying anything else. They work so well that I’ll probably get few more for fall/winter in season-appropriate colors.

These are just what I’m looking for, but at a much lower price. I typically buy my handbags as throwaway fashion. It’s a bit of an odd strategy, but it works for me.
