Tax relief

It's the most hated time of the year again, April 15th, tax day. This year, most households are eligible for a little filing bonus in the guise of an economic stimulus refund of $300 per qualifying person in a household.
The object being that if you give an American a dollar, chances are they will spend it, the question is how. Sure it can go towards a credit card balance, mortgages, loans, orthodontia...but here at In My Bag we're more about the frivolities in life, so naturally, here a few bags that your stimulus check will easily defray the costs of. All the bags are deeply discounted, so it's like getting double the bang for your buck too!

From Kooba, a bag that costs a bit more than the refund, but is a super bargain.

In a seasonless pearl grey, this bag is a triple threat. A satchel, shoulder bag, and, if worn runway style a clutch. The hardware isn't too shiny, and the gentle folds are soft and elegant. You can carry this bag right into next season without missing a style beat. It's $348, and like all the bags featured here, it is from Bluefly.

For someone who wants to get themselves a little something, but still keep some of their money for life's necessities (nothing wrong with paying a bit extra towards a debt) is a sweet ruffled bag from BCBGirls.

In a neutral sand colored leather, this bag has a ruffled trim that is being shown by so many designer brands from Gucci to Versace. Only this bag is less than one tenth of those bags retail costs at $84.59...yes, you read that correctly. It is also from Bluefly.

So, you want to go all out frivolous and buy something you wouldn't ordinarily?

This Bulga Gretchen bag in a luscious coral might fit the bill. With 2 tiered pockets that form a cute smile on the bag's front (and a third one in the back!), and zipper pulls that end in extra ling tassels this is not a bag for everyone - though it may hold everything...it's huge. Like the bag, but not the color? It's also available in a tan shade. At $370.80, the Bulga Gretchen is a great bag in either color.

All the bags featured are from Bluefly which is helping with a little tax stimulus of their own. Orders placed by 6AM EST tomorrow (that's 4/16) qualify for an additional 10% discount. Now that's a tax plan that fits any bracket!
