Morning Line: December 2

Dec 2, 2014

This week, I thought we’d talk about handbags.  The morning posts will feature the totes, satchels, and clutches that complete the majority of my outfits.  And every bag will cost under-$100.

Tumbled Leather Braided Satchel ($75)

A cognac tote is my casual, weekend, and vacation staple.  The cognac goes with nearly every color palette.  And I love the sculpted shape of this tote and the braided handles; it takes the casual bag and lifts it a notch.

Looking for a slouchier tote?  This Torrid bag is a great place to start.  Old Navy offers a relaxed tote for $22 that’s worth a look.  I also like this zippered tote from Neiman Marcus for a little extra flare.

Prefer a satchel?  I like the angular lines on this Steve Madden satchel and this Emperia Rikki Tote is a nice mix of tote and satchel.

    Yay handbags! Looking forward to your under-$100 options.

    And if you want to take a morning this week and talk about investment bags that can carry a laptop, lunch, and an extra pair of shoes, keep out prying hands on the metro, and still look professional and up-to-date, I’d love it. I have a Lo&Sons and it works fine, but I really wish there was a quality leather equivalent out there. (Oh Everlane, please make a bag that closes on top.)

    Check out the fun and colourful line from Dreams in Colour for more bags under $100 (planning a beach getaway in the winter, then you need one of these!)

    I just bought the tumbled leather braided satchel and it was only $45 with some kind of extended Cyber Monday sale!

    This is kind of random, and it may be only me, but I tend to click on photos thinking they’ll link to content. Yours only link to the attachment page. It might be more user-friendly to either turn off the linking or link to the content.

    Just a suggestion!

Saw It On Social: Rooted

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
