Last fall I came across this adorable crossbody and knew I had to have it. While it was darling, I decided to tuck it away until bright colors were in season. Last week I finally took it out of the bag and cut the tags off so I could tote the beauty around. Now it's my go-to purse and I'm excited to carry it through summer!

Unfortunately my bright mint version is currently sold out of all stores. But a similar design is available in a beautiful, bright blue with a few extra stripes. And if you're more of a simple style kinda gal, there's also a Grove Court Cora white/almond version and the very similar black Grove Court Tenley!

Next month I go on vacation and I plan on doing lots of sightseeing. There's nothing worse than having to lug around a bulky purse as I go on tours and visit new places. That's where the crossbody bag comes in. Check out the five above from Forever 21 all under $23!

Today I bought the bag pictured on the bottom left. It's big enough to fit a water bottle, wallet, phone, and camera, and has a zipper on the inside - a must! I think it'll be perfect. I know it's not the best quality but there's no way I'm buying an expensive bag to take traveling. Plus, I just got all of my tires replaced today so it's not like the cash is flowing right now.

What do you think about cheap bags? Will you sacrifice quality to save a buck?
