"The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize" - Steel Magnolia's
I am itching for a new pocket book (purse, bag, or whatever you want to call it). So my next few posts are all about bags! What I look for and where to find them. Today is all about a bag to carry everyday.
Here are some of the things I look for:
Color/Style: I prefer a classic look, nothing extremely trendy and usually neutral tones or pastels. It has to be something that's easy to pick up and fits in the hinge of my elbow. I recently bought a cross body bag the storage was amazing but it became such a hassle to just grab it and go (do you feel me?).
Pockets: Pockets make me happy. My bag needs lots of storage space. Have you guys heard of Thirty-one? Their bags have so, so many pockets. The descriptions don't give them justice.Take this bag, the fold over flap is a full size pocket. It has another large pocket (with a hidden zipper pocket, and two small accessory slots) and a front pocket that I always slip my mail into. Can you count how many times I said 'pocket'?
Size: I like big bags and I cannot lie. This is my everyday bag so it needs to fit everything including my planner, wallet, mail, lipstick, pens, etc. I'll show in my 'What's in my purse' post later this week (it might be a long post).
Price: I am not the kind of girl to carry a bag for a full year we're doing good if I carry it for a full season. It's just so much fun to switch it up. For that reason, it's typically not something I invest more than $40.00 in (honestly we may be closer to $30). So, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls are my favorite stores to find designer bags for cheap(er).
Welp, that pretty much covers it for my everyday purse. What kind of purses do you look for? Is there a brand you just love? I'd love to hear your comments! Thanks for stopping by!
