I got a purse for ten bucks at Wal-Mart. We’re broke and can’t afford to be blowing money, but I really needed a new purse, so I splurged with a ten dollar bill and got a new purse.

Well, I was so excited to have this purse. I got it home, emptied my old purse and loaded the new one. Then I turned to Lonnie in an excited tone and said, “Look at the new purse I got!!!” His reply: “Looks like a glorified camera bag.”

Immediate bubble burstage. :( I went from being totally stoked to being all upset because he hates it.

So now I need to know what you think. Don’t worry about my feelings. Be HONEST. Honesty is of the utmost importance to me.

A.) Do you like the purse?
B.) Does it resemble a “glorified” camera bag to you?
C.) Is it not a good buy for ten bucks?
D.) Does it look good on me? (Yes, I’m totally hamming it up in the picture.)

Thank you in advance for any input you can give me.

Remember - honesty is the best policy!

Uh, yeah…that’s great and all, Angeliki, but ten dollars was literally all I had. It’s not like I’ve got some surplus of money stashed around here and I just chose to go cheap. I had NO choice. :(

BTW - I couldn’t care less about status. People can think I’m the most broke person on the planet for all I care. The last thing on my agenda is to impress others. ;)

Sarah - I know! Mine is more like that, too…but their selection was horrid! This was literally the best I could find. :( I just need to wait ’til I can afford a different one.

No, no…please don’t misunderstand. I’m not angry. I just wanted to explain that I’m TRULY poor right now….and that status means nothing to me. I wasn’t meaning to come off as a bitch. I’m sorry. :(

I still love you! xoxox

I’d give you more useful feedback if I could, but I know SQUAT about women’s purses. You chose it and YOU like it. That’s all that matters.

I like it a lot! I’ve never cared for Walmart’s selection of handbags. Once in a while they do get some cute ones in though. :lol:

:lol: That’s okay, Conor. I appreciate the honesty!

My plan is to purchase a new purse as soon as I’ve got the fundage to do so. I’m unhappy with the space this purse has…or doesn’t have, I should say. It’s set-up is illogical and I wish I’d have noticed that prior to the whoppin’ ten dollar purchase. :roll:
