A Bag for Every Occasion

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Elon chapter.

Going out–ASOS Quilted Metal Corner Bag

Every girl needs an LBB – Little Black Bag. For those nights out when you only need your Phoenix Card, lip gloss and a pack of gum, your little black bag will be your greatest companion. Cross body bags have become extremely popular because of their versatility and convenience. Currently on my wish list is this black ASOS quilted bag. Not only does it share a striking resemblance to Chanel’s classic quilted leather flap clutch, but it also won’t break the bank.

School–Deena & Ozzy Cyd Backpack

Although we dread the endless amounts of homework that go in them, backpacks are a back-to-school http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k515/hercampuselon/backback.jpgneces…. It’s time to move on from the days of plain backpacks and opt for some more unique and exciting choices. This Deena & Ozzy bag from Urban Outfitters bag is edgy, yet classic. It takes the standard backpack form and adds personality. It comes in pale blue, taupe, and black and has received only positive reviews from customers. Its adjustable shoulder straps and four exterior zip pockets will give you plenty of room to store your classroom essentials.

Work–River Island Two Tone Hard Tote

This is the perfect career-girl bag – structured, sturdy and sleek. As working collegiettes™, we must look the part without having to shop at Saks Fifth Ave for the latest Louis Vuitton briefcase. Camel tones are in for the fall and what better way to embrace the trend than with this chic tote? It’s spacious enough to store your laptop and its neutral tones can complete any outfit. My favorite part of this bag is definitely the snakeskin details at the base, which add some flare to the otherwise very traditional look.

Everyday–Colette Envelope Clutch

This oversized faux-leather envelope clutch is ideal for everything from lunch dates to shopping trips. It has a detachable/adjustable cross body strap and is great for those days when you are constantly on the go. It comes in mint green and light grey and is the perfect size to fit your wallet, car keys and makeup. This envelope clutch is both reasonably priced and in style – the best pick for a trendy collegiette™.
