A Sensible Splurge – Your Handbag

One great way to freshen your Spring wardrobe without buying lots of new clothes is to update your handbag.  It’s a solid investment and one that will serve you well for several seasons if chosen correctly.

Handbags usually take a beating.  Take a look at yours. Has it grown tired and fallen on hard times? This Spring season can be the time to make a handbag investment and add some pizzazz.

Handbags have personalities. Does your go-to bag represent your style personality? Make it an extension of your style expression.

Here are three bags to consider for business: a Tote, a Satchel, or a Bucket bag.

Tote

If you’re like me and need to carry client files, an iPhone, and iPad or laptop, a tote is a very practical investment. I love that I can carry just one bag and keep my wallet, makeup bag and keys in one place right along with my business tools. If you are a train or air traveler, you’ll need construction and leather that will withstand wear and tear. Pockets to house your technical devices for protection and ease of access within the tote should be considered. Look for a tote with “feet” to help with stability and keep the bag off the floor.

Satchel

This is a classic bag for a businesswoman.  It is functional, controlled, more structured than a bucket and smaller than a tote. Insert your personality in the look you choose. Add a pop of color or enjoy an exotic leather.

Bucket Bag

A relaxed bag is perfect for a more active or casual lifestyle.  Depending on the refinement and color of the leather, it can be a perfect classic for a casual day with the kids, or elegant enough for work and a nice dinner with friends or your spouse.

Super Tip:

Let your hair color serve as a guide.  Leathers in your hair color are guaranteed to be a choice you’ll love and will go with everything you wear (just like your hair).
