I have an obsession with hand bags. I will be the first to admit that spending hundreds of dollars on a handbag is a little ridiculous, but I will also be the first to buy one if I just know I can’t live without it. A purse can make or break an outfit, which is why it’s so important to make sure it complements your outfit, but at the same time doesn’t cost more than all your outfits for that week. I have accumulated a variety of bags for different occasions, and I tried to find a splurge and save version to accommodate all budgets. Which ones are your favorites? -Lauren
Running Around
I love this style of handbag because it’s small, doesn’t take up a lot of space and is easy to carry because you can sling it across your chest or carry it, depending on your mood and outfit.

Work Week Carry- all
Every girl needs a bag they can throw all their stuff in and get up and go. I especially love this style for the work week because you can fit your lunch in there as well as a magazine and anything you may need for work. The camel color is WONDERFUL because it literally can go with any color combination. Buying a bag this size and in this color is smart because you can get away with the splurge because you can use it for a variety of outfits and occasions.

Pop of Color
I am obsessed with both of these handbags. Red is such a great color, and especially with the weather getting colder and more depressing, it is so important to have something that will make you stand out and add energy to your outfit. This is a great bag for work, but can definitely brighten any casual weekend outfit.
Eco-friendly grocery shopping
Now a days it’s so in to be “green” and environmentally friendly, which is why these bags are great for grocery shopping or even the beach and gym. They don’t have the silly grocery store logos which makes them much more versatile, and in my case makes me much more willing to carry it around.

Going out!
There is nothing more frustrating than going out for dinner or drinks and dancing and having to haul a bag around that not only gets in the way but doesn’t let you get down on the dance floor. Wristlets are a good investment because they can function as a wallet in your bigger purses during the week as well. I chose a blue color because of the versatility of the color and it’s a good change from the traditional black.
