Fashion Faux Pas: Overpriced Trash Bag Purse

Marciano, the upscale brand owned by GUESS, had a lot of great handbags. Granted, they're all in the $200-300 range and up, but some are really cute.

Unfortunately, I also found this gem: the Martha Cutout Tote Handbag. This huge trashbag-esque purse horrifies me. It's not that I find it that repulsive, but the bag is a steep (for me) $350. I feel like I could find a similar bag at Wal-Mart. In the cleaning department. For a couple bucks.

Adding a cute studded handle and chain strap does not make a trash bag look fashionable. Nor does the randomly ruched seam down the center.

If you have that kind of cash to blow, I suggest this cute Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag instead.
