5 on friday

Lately I have been looking for a nice purse. I always carry a bag around, and so I want something that looks nicer and more grown-up. Trouble is, I can't make up my mind! So for today's 5 on Friday, I'm showing the options I have. Please help me out! :)

one. 

couldn't find a picture online so . . . you get my
inadequate photography skills on this one :)

Cobalt Bag: Burlington Coat Factory Similar: A. B.

++pros

• big enough to fit my planner
• best price

----cons

• might be bigger than I want
• limited organizational features (only two giant sections; no smaller compartments and zipper areas)

two. 

Coral Bag: Target

++pros

• smaller size
• love all of the compartmental options

----cons

• I have a lot of shirts this color, so it will look either too matchy-matchy, or the two very similar colors will clash
• won't fit my planner

three.

sidenote: I don't actually wear cross-body purses across my body (pictured).
I always wear them hanging straight down from one shoulder.

Mint Bag: Target

++pros

• compartmental options (though not as many as the coral bag)

----cons

•  light color might get dirty quickly
• not big enough for my planner

four.

Striped Bag: Target

++pros

• looks so classy
• would fit my planner
• compartmental options

----cons

• quite big. Even bigger than the cobalt option.
• what if I'm wearing stripes already? I think it would be too much.

five.

Or I could keep looking. I have all of the previous bags at my house right now, but as I searched for pictures of those bags, I came across some more online options:

Also, I was originally thinking more neutral tones, so these suit that idea better.

So which do you think I should choose? As you can see, I have pros and cons with each of them, and I'm just not sure which one fits the most wants/needs while not having too many things going against it. 

Thanks for your help, and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday!
