If a night out at the Brew or the Roost commonly leaves you with a morning full of looking for your keys/phone/wristlet then I have a solution worth looking in to- crossbody bags. Not sure what that is? Well, as the name suggests, it’s a small purse that goes across your body and hangs at your hips, leaving your hands and wrist free. Why is it so amazing? -Because it actually takes some effort on your part to lose it. You can dance with hands free and run around without the worry of your things falling out or your wristlet flying off.
Another plus about crossbody’s is that the cutest ones are usually the cheapest. A small leather crossbody can be found at places from Target to Marc Jacobs and each one is the perfect accessory to any outfit.

Here are a few websites that offer a wide array of inexpensive crossbody bags!
 


Francesca’s Collections:
This store offers new styles of bags constantly and often has amazing sales. These bags are your standard looking bag and offer perks that other ones may night such as unique colors or snap closures. Here you can find a crossbody that fits the style, color and size you want!

ModCloth.Com- This website has the cutest tops and dresses in addition to their collection of purses. These are your more simple leather crossbody’s but there are usually several ‘wilder’ ones as well.
