I've always been a backpack kinda girl until recently. Last Christmas I got a crossbody black Michael Kors purse and I looooved it. This year I got a black studded tote Michael Kors purse and I'm obsessed with it- it just goes with everything. But I believe there are occasions where a backpack needs to be carried as well. In the summer when I'm exploring or going to concerts or festivals or the beach or whatever, I use backpacks instead. It's kind of a seasonal thing for me. xD
