Tote-ally chic

I went shopping with my best friend over the weekend, and she was looking for a great bag for school and work this year. They aren't always easy to find (in our limited price range). We swooned over the gorgeous MICHAEL Michael Kors Jet Set Top-Zip Saffiano Tote (could it be more beautiful?) that was $248, and almost cried when we saw the Kate Spade New York '2 Park Avenue - Beau' Shopper for $498. As women in our early 20's without jobs... these were just a little out of our price range.

This inspired me to find some incredible bags for less that are awesome for school, work, or just hanging around town! Which is your favorite?
