Each year, usually right before fall, I get a hankering for a new
handbag, regardless of how recently I purchased my last one. They're just so fun to build outfits around and I hate to hinder my creativity, you know? Right now I'm all about
messenger bags- I'm picturing one crafted out of buttery leather, maybe a tad distressed for that vintage look, and preferably in a neutral hue- chocolate brown, khaki, even dove grey would be lovely. The style is undeniably classic and yet alluring at the same time, and the brand is nowhere to be seen (with the exception of a small amount of indicative hardware, in some cases). Larger ones add a seriously urban element to business ensembles, while smaller types lend effortless appeal to androgynous and
feminine styles alike. My personal favorite way to wear one of these schoolboy-esque satchels? Strapped across the body, over none other than a flouncy party dress. Click on the slideshow for the messenger bags on my wishlist!
