Like many women my age, I find myself wandering through stores on a regular basis looking for the perfect deal. Though I couldn't really afford anything in the store, I do love taking my time to look. I came to the section of the store that has women's purses. Sadly, I was in no position to afford any of the handbags there, and even the cheapest one was out of my reach. How can anyone spend so much on a handbag? Looking down and my old worn out purse made me sad, but I had to walk away. My Black Betsey Johnson handbag has been a constant companion for me over the years, and though worn out, has been one of the best purchases that I have ever made.I just can't justify spending a ton of money on a purse, and I have held up that belief until today.

You see so many knock-offs of Juicy handbags on the streets over the authentic ones. Amazingly, most of the replicas you do see look very much like the real thing, though you would only pay a fraction of the price of what the real thing is worth. In fact, if you see an average person walking around with a purse that flaunts an expensive brand name - chances are, it is a replica.

Most of us want style and durability from our handbags, but in many cases that can conflict with the price we are willing to pay. I mean, let's face it - women put anything and everything in their purses. Sometimes I even surprise myself with what I find in my handbag - it is amazing that you can store so much in them.

If you want to look stylish and keep up with the modern trends, there are more important things to be purchasing than expensive purses. Take a look online to find some affordable handbags and save your money on those things that are truly important.
