Bottom Row: Foldover Tote // Fossil Shopper // Sole Society Messenger bag
Every woman should have a great everyday handbag. This is a bag that you can wear everyday with any outfit. Usually it’s black or brown, but sometimes you can find a fun seasonal color that just seems to work. Personally I’m willing to spend money on a quality handbag because guess what I’m probably going to have it for awhile. I also l prefer leather.
Over the summer I picked up a classic black hobo from J.Crew, but now I’m on the hunt for the perfect brown handbag. It’s out there!
There are a number of things to keep in mind when shopping — lifestyle, functionality, body shape, size, material, etc. While scouring the web I came across Rue La La’s Handbags 101.
If you were to dump out my bag this morning you would probably find everything from sunglasses, multiple lip glosses, iPad, to a Kind bar among a number of other things. Adding a kid into the mix come January will add a whole new element.
What’s a great everyday bag for a mom-to-be?
I recently took the plunge (after over 6 months of saving) and purchased the LV Neverfull MM. I looked everywhere for alternatives, but it was literally the perfect bag for what I was looking for. I also bought it knowing that they last (my first LV has been carried for over 9 years, and still looks like new), and that it can double as a diaper bag when I've got stuff for days. You're so right: they're worth the investment!
