Good day, Tuesday. It's a bit cloudy today and cool- just right if you ask me. I'm working away on a few projects so time is spare, but I wanted to share my most coveted bag for Fall, the humble and more ladylike shoulder bag.
With all of the silhouettes loosening up a bit (think chunky oversized knits, full skirts, menswear inspired boxy coats), a girl needs a bit of structure in her life. I'm loving the idea of a more constructed purse to balance out the loosened up wardrobe of Fall.
The classic (and preferably vintage) Hermes bag sets the bar (way too high for most), and of course Chanel (seen above), but others are making some great options as well...here's a sample of some of my favs- and for those that only like black bags (you know who you are), basic black is probably the most popular color for this style of purse (goes with everything and is beyond classic and economical), though the red Coach bag below sure is fun:
Jerome Dreyfuss Bobi Shoulder Bag, $780
J. Crew Claremont purse, $250 (and currently on sale)
Tory Burch shoulder bag, Saddalrina Large Saddle, $495
Coach Madison Shoulder Flap bag, in scarlet, $298
Mark Cross Large Zelda Shoulder bag, $769 (on sale)
Ferragamo Rory leather shoulder bag, $825
Zara Leather City Bag, $129
Madewell Eaton Shoulder bag, $238
Clare Vivier simple tote in velvet/black, $368
BE&D Parker Shoulder, $247.99
And if the whole shoulder bag thing has you thinking the whole thing is too stuffy, do like the beauty at the top of this post and rock a classic shoulder bag as a clutch, to keep things very well styled and fresh. I'm a big fan of an elegant bag for Fall- it's a great way to shoulder the burden of your life at large. Cause that's what's up this handbag of a Tuesday in the 212. Yours in fashion, XO
