I have spent more money on designer bags in my lifetime than I would care to admit.  It's a girl thing to want to own at least one really good bag, right?  The older I get, the more I realize that it isn't so much about the label, as it is functionality and simplicity in a bag that I crave.  I recently invested $9 (on sale) on this canvas market tote that has gotten more wear than some of my more expensive bags.  It's big, it's indestructible, and it's super cute.

For me, it's like buying your kids a lot of fancy toys, when suddenly you realize that all they need to be really content is that cardboard box that my bag just arrived in.  If they destroy it, it didn't cost a thing, yet their heart breaks with a tragic loss of a favorite toy.  I still love my fancy bags, don't get me wrong, but I am loving the carefree, replaceable ones just as much.

I hope you enjoyed celebrating Memorial Day weekend! Thanks so much for reading!
