I received a lot of mail last week asking for advice on spring purses. This week, the 10th Commandment will feature one great bag under-$100, perfect for sprucing up your wardrobe. Enjoy!
Melie Bianco Satchel Bag (Lori’s Shoes, $98)
Have a big day ahead? Major hearing? Big trial? The presentation of your life? Gonna be at a conference with that ex? Whatever it happens to be, these are the fashion weapons that get me to the confidence level that I need to be at.
Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
I love this bag– especially in orange!
I just have to say I'm surprised you deleted the comment from yesterday about posting the same bag multiple times. One thing I like about your blog is how you usually allow (and respond to!) criticism.

I didn't mean to delete the comment, I clicked on it to reply and clicked delete instead. This is why I shouldn't try to respond to comments before coffee.
Yes, a reader was upset that I posted the same bag twice. But that's just how much I loved it. and given that it's sold out everywhere now, I'm not the only one.
