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!

    I like both colors 1 and 2, but like the shape of 2 better. It might be that the coral is such a popular color right now that makes me like it more as well.

    It's all about #4 in my opinion. The bigger the better is what I choose every time ;)

our first murder mystery

A murder mystery been on my "party list" for ages, but I've never gotten around to throwing one (probably because there are too many other ideas on my party list haha). So even though we were planning to do Harry Potter movie parties every Friday and Saturday in October, when my friend asked if we'd be available for a murder mystery, I told her I would rearrange my schedule to be there! Haha :) When the actual invitation came, I was super impressed because it was so themed and legit! Diana went above and beyond -- the kit they bought (from  Night of Mystery ) came with invitations, but she had someone design different ones that were so awesome. Girl knows how to get the party started right from the get-go! I had heard about and seen other murder mysteries before, and the main thing I always heard about was people dressing up. It was so fun to arrive at Diana and Michael's and find that everyone had really gone all out with their costumes! Wigs,...

one.  Remember that secret I mentioned last week ? Well I guess I'll tell you now, only it's in a sad way rather than an excited way. We were contemplating moving to England for six months sometime next year (around May). It was a secret because we hadn't decided whether or not we were going to do it yet. But now we've made our decision, and we're not doing it. But I figured I should still mention it since I left you all hanging last week. Someday . . .  two.  As I browse blogs, I often come across bloggers wearing adorable clothes and linking up where they got the clothes from. They always say stuff like "I got this amazing dress, and it's so affordable! " I'm amazed to see what prices people call "affordable." And I'm not trying to be mean--I just think I have a different definition of "affordable." I could afford  just about any outfit that people post about. But I'm a bargain shopper. I don't pay more...
