A ton of ladies around campus are gearing up for nights out on the town with their ‘oh so sophisticated’ cross-bodies. These tiny bags provide the perfect alternative to having to pack our pockets (or those of the men in our lives) with our essentials (cell phone, wallet, keys, lip gloss and whatever else we fancy carrying around with us). Ladies, let’s not pretend we’ve never asked our date to hold our phone and keys so we could take pictures or dance! Well, the perfectly stylish and trendy solution is the cross-body. Cute, sophisticated and small makes this is the PERFECT trend that is hopefully here to stay!
Meghan loves this chic fad, and says:
“This is the perfect going out bag because it’s a cross body so I don’t have to worry about holding it the whole time, and it’s big enough to carry all my essentials without being overly bulky on my side. I also love the black leather with gold chain because it doesn’t clash with anything I wear.” (Pictured below)
Taylor also attests to the convenience of the small cross-body, saying:
“I love this bag because it’s big enough to hold everything I need, but small enough that I don’t mind carrying it around all night – the shoulder strap definitely helps! I wanted a color that would go with everything so I chose brown, and I wear a lot of gold jewelry so I like that the clasps match. I also love that it has a shoulder strap (much harder to lose that way) and inside pockets that zip since I always lose things!” (Pictured below)
Bethany reps several of her favorites throughout the week as the perfect transitional bag between daytime activities and nightlife! She says,
“I love all my small bags! They are so convenient to bring the essentials for my day, and add a cute accessory to an outfit. I buy most of mine at thrift shops, so I have a wide variety for any occasion!” (Pictured below)
Personally, this is my go-to bag for the nights when I know I may not be able to hold onto the phone and keys in the crowds. Everything fits and it stays on my shoulder without any worries. Additionally, the bag provides a more secure place to stow your valuables because it stays close to your body and can not easily be grabbed or stolen. (Pictured below)
So ladies, pack it up and head to dinner or hit the town without worrying yourself sick about leaving your phone in the bathroom or dropping your keys at the bar. This is the outfit-completing accessory that the women of Emory are choosing time after time because of its seamless and effortless transition from one occasion to the next–the cross body is an obvious choice for chic!
