diaper bag thoughts

I have probably given 50 hours of my life in the past few months to looking for the perfect diaper bag. Mostly online searches. Staring at bag. Wondering what size is it really and trying to find the best deal on a cool different looking diaper bag. I don't want a diaper bag that looks like a normal diaper bag. 


Here's my criteria: 

• Not too childish/momish/frumpy if you know what I mean
• Functional - will go with most outfits 
• Not too heavy
• Durable - hopefully could last through a few babies
• Will temporarily replace my purse
• Affordable ($100 or less)

Here are my favorites so far...

Pompeian Red Ikat Tapestry Hobo Diaper Bag

I can't decide if I'm in love with this fabric and I am not sure if they have it more as an overnight bag and not a daily use?

most affordable, but can't decide if it's me. 

All of this though begs the question...do I need an actual diaper bag or do I just need a large purse with a changing pad. If anyone has any wisdom...please share :) 

Yay for Friday & hopefully kicking this cold that is zapping all of my energy!!
