And every time I got to the "click here to check out and actually enter your credit card into" page I got booted back to the front page. I tried like 3 times before figuring it was a sign and giving up. @ellabella I tried to buy that earlier today!

If I want a Balenciaga, I will most likely pay full price. FTR, I don't drink in bars much and most days of the week I bring my own lunch to work. After a year of doing both... Boom there goes your Balenciaga. @stuffisthings I only have three major label bags and all of them were brought on sale, with money I sit aside for when said bag goes on sale and birthday and Xmas money saved.

I can die happy when I own: A big bag With lots of pockets That is leather (or something else classy-ish/office-appropriate?) That also (and herein lies the rub) CONVERTS FROM A CROSS-BODY BAG TO A BACKPACK Yeah, I said it. Any recommendations? Bueller?

They are pretty reasonable and really durable. I have one that I don't use a whole lot, but I have had it for years and it still looks new. They were originally made with knitters in mind, I think, but it seems they have branched out a lot in the past few years. @willow Namaste is a brand that makes nice non-leather bags.
