Professional Wardrobe Essential: Graceship Bags

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

Functionality’s never been so fashionable as it is with GRACESHIP, a line of luxury laptop purses featuring three distinct styles: Chicago, London, and New York. Perfect for college women, these high-quality bags hold your laptop as well as everything you’d normally have to carry around in a separate purse. If you’re heading to class, an office job, or a summer internship, GRACESHIP bags will no doubt be of major help. Sleek, durable, and compliment-attracting, these laptop purses may just be the best purchase of your summer. Buy one here and use the code HCWM2013 for 15% off!

Wear It All Day: Chicago

Wear the Chicago all day, everyday. Bold enough to turn heads, yet comfortable enough to keep on your shoulder all day, it’s as versatile as your little black dress. Let the Chicago inspire you to get a little glam with your professional pieces. Dress up an all-white look with a bold print, and let the Chicago amp it up a notch. Another great work option is to wear a longer skirt and throw on a statement necklace; the midnight blue color will look amazing when colorblocked. Headed to a date? Instead of mixing colors, match up this casual cool bag to a blue-and-metallic outfit. By wearing the bag with the shoulder strap, the longer length will balance out a shorter skirt or dress.

Wear It With Everything: London

This one’s for all the classy girls out there who idolize Audrey Hepburn and have at least 3 Lilly Pulitzer shifts hanging in their closets. Timelessness matches everything and this bag embodies that sort of classic feel. Wear the London with every piece you own, because its camel color won’t clash with anything. Because of its neutral shade, the London works wonderfully when worn with bright colors. Pump up casual chambray—which is perfect for the office when worn in blazer form—with a fun summer color and keep it neutral on the feet. Blazers are a work and internship staple, and having different styles in multiple colors is never a bad idea. Punch up a floral skirt with a bold red-orange blazer, or get preppy with statement loafers and shades of blue and white. These classic looks are perfect to pair with the sophisticated feel of the London bag, and are great for day-to-play when you tuck the blazer away inside your spacious purse.

Wear It Anywhere: New York

Ditch the power suit, because you won’t need it if you have this handbag! The New York is made for the businesswoman in all of us, and its sleek, no-fuss design clearly reflects that. Arrive at the office with the knowledge that your laptop is encased in the most fashionable of laptop bags, as the New York will catch the envious eye of all of your work colleagues. Once their eyes shift away from your purse, though, don’t let them be disappointed with your outfit. An LBD never fails to impress, especially when paired with a polka dot collar and cognac accents. For Casual Friday, pull those colored trousers out and rock them with your freshest eyelet top and black pumps to match the New York’s rich black color. If you need to get serious, throw on a black blazer and layer on the jewels. They’ll make the gold hardware on the New York stand out, while emphasizing the power and structure of the bag. After a long day of work, head out for drinks with friends. Just close your laptop, slip it and your blazer in your bag, and your girly dress and glamorous jewelry will do all the work for you.
