I hate buying shoes with an unholy passion. However, I must admit that it's mostly because I adore all those horribly impractical high-heeled monstrosities in virulent shades of purple and such, but can't wear them because my feet are designed for trainers, and trainers only, and even those get uncomfortable after a few hours. So my hatred is mostly fuelled by bitterness that I can't have the pretty shoes, and frustration that I can never find any footwear at all that is anything other than massively uncomfortable.
My "handbag" (I just call it a bag, but I suppose it fulfils the same function) looks like this (http://www.bagsetc.co.uk/index.asp?pid=3912943&pg=1&level1=HANDBAGS&level2=CANVAS+AND+CASUAL&level3=) only it's dark brown, and cost about £5. I don't have a briefcase, as my job is in no way important enough for any such accessory, so I have to have a bag to keep my keys, driving licence and lunch in. And plasters for my sore feet.
I buy most of my clothes from Sainsburys as well. They make very nice t-shirts, and their jeans fit me very well, unlike so many others. And they're pretty cheap, so it works out wonderfully.
I'm not sure this'll help your case any, though. I totally fail at being a girl. Examples - I've worn lipstick one time in my 27 years of life, and that was at someone else's insistence, I don't own a single dress or skirt, and I hate having to get my hair cut and have it done as infrequently as possible.

But I'm okay with it.
