Trendwatch: the cross-body bag

Hope you’re all enjoying your Labor Day!  An extra day off just makes so much difference, right?  I actually had this post planned for last week… but with school starting + getting sick + technical difficulties… well, it just wasn’t in the cards.  

Good news!!  The NEW email button works.  I still haven’t figured out why the other one didn’t but I got this new one to work.  {You’ll have to re-enter your email address.}  Sorry for the inconvenience but thank you to everyone who kept me updated and was patient with me!

Ok… on to today’s topic…

I love a good bag.  It can make an outfit fun without much fuss.  Although I used to swear by a large bag that I could fit everything in, I’m now sold on the idea of the cross-body bag.  I’ve found I can actually fit everything I need in there and I don’t have to carry it so it’s lots easier when shopping, running errands, etc.  I wear it with everything…

Since I wear mostly neutrals, I love the pop of color the bag adds.  {If you wear lots of colors, a neutral bag might be your new bestie!}

I found this one last spring in TJ Maxx but talked myself out of buying it.  David surprised me by going back to get it as a “just because” gift a few days later.

Unfortunately, they don’t have this one anymore but here are a few I’m drooling over from their website.  {You can shop TJ Maxx online now!!!  I think that deserves a shout… and maybe a new bag, too!}

I’m loving the color of this one and it’s only $24.99.

Can’t you just see this bag around Christmastime?  And for $19.99, you can afford it for one season only… or wear it year ’round!

If you don’t have a lot of pink in your closet, this might be the perfect way to spice it up.  Check it out for $24.99.

 And, in case you’re into the neutral bag, I’m loving this one.  At 24.99, you can’t go wrong.  {Actually, I just might have to grab this one, too.  I have a neutral bag but it’s not as cute as this one!}
