The bag in question...
During my trip to T.J. Maxx yesterday, I fell in love with this black leather bag by Hype, on sale for $99. It was the perfect size, nice lining, lots of pockets, and "fit" just right on my shoulder. Since most Hype bags sell for $200 to $300 or more, I think it's a good deal but I rarely spend over $40 for a bag. The closet comp I found online was this Hype Janice bag in brown leather for $177 at Bluefly.com. So I need a second (or third or fourth) opinion: Should I get it? Does anyone own a Hype bag? Are they worth the price? Help!
Another random photo from my trip: I saw a lot of studded bags at Fashion Week, so this bag by Nicole Lee caught my eye. Not bad for $29.99. It looked like real leather and the studding didn't look cheap. Going to keep my eye on this new-to-me brand.
Thank you TJ Maxx for being in our lives;-)

About a week ago I walked into Marshalls and found a Michael Kors tote purse for $99, that sells for $200. I was wondering if I should get it or not, and decided to put it on layaway.
Buying a designer purse boots my self-esteem and confidence. I can't wait until I finish paying for it!!
I'd take the Hype bag if you really love it. I've seen some Nicole Lee bags at Marshalls and they looked really cheap. The hype bag seems like it might last longer.
The leather is good quality, and it's still in great shape.
I say go for it.
I"m a serial michael kors swooper at TJ maxx!
