There comes a time when a girl has to do what a girl has to do, and sometimes that involves finding the perfect bag to suit your day-to-day needs. This can be a bit of a task as there are so many options to choose from. I'm talking, Satchel or Cross-body, Michael Kors or Rebecca Minkoff, Cognac or Nude, leather or fabric, as you can see, the options are endless!
Being your right-hand girl and all, I'm gonna help you through the process.
Here are a few things to consider:
Think dual functionality: I believe theres added value in having top handles and a shoulder strap. We've all faced the challenges of multi-tasking, and chances are, if you're on-the-go juggling all the ah-mazing happenings of life, the satchel, tote, & cross-body bags are viable options for you! You can carry your purse, coffee, & lunch sack all while looking well composed.
Think long-term: Is it durable and easy to clean? Accidents happen and when they do, you wanna be prepared. I strongly recommend leather, it's durable, and you don't have to worry too much about makeup stains and such. Coffee spill-NO BIG, take a damp cloth to it and keep it pushing!
Size: Yep, it matters! I recommend ensuring you have enough room to carry your essentials (wallet, sunglasses, keys, & makeup bag) as well as a few extra's like a pair of flats, a few magazines files, and perhaps even a bottled water.
Is it a "Standalone?" There's nothing worse than attempting to place your purse on the table/desk and it toppling over like a sack of potatoes- yea, no one wants that. For this reason I recommend something with a solid structure. As the mere fact that the purse has feet, doesn't guarantee it'll hold under pressure.
Organization Options: pockets are essential. Makes it much easier to access your phone and keys.
STYLE: So, in case you didn't know this, which you probably didn't because I just made this one up-- theres a HUGE difference in carrying a handbag/bag and a pocketbook- lol, pocketbooks are for seasoned ole ladies-not for trendy fashionistas like you. Ensure your bag has style and reflects a bit of your personality!
Now that we've got you covered, wanna see what I'm coveting?
