My New Hype "Janice" Handbag from T.J. Maxx


My New Hype Janice Handbag from T.J. Maxx

Last week I asked you guys if I should splurge on a leather Hype bag that I found at T.J. Maxx on clearance for $99 (had the red tag), and the majority of you responded with a resounding YES! So, encouraged by all the positive feedback, I went back and got the bag. Couldn't be happier with my decision. You'd think I'd have tons of black bags sitting around my closet, but the last time I purchased a black bag was back in January 2008 (it's the Foley & Corinna knockoff from Forever 21 shown here), so it was definitely time for me to update my black-bag look.

If you like the Hype Janice, too, reader Christina found it at SmartBargains.com in tan or nutmeg for $103.98, which seems to be the best price currently on the web. I also found this bag in a fabulous teal or orange shade at Endless.com, use the widget below to check those options out. Thanks for all the help!!
