(Forever21 Statue of Liberty Tote, $14.80; Juicy Couture, Let Them Eat Tote, $75.00)

Sometimes you don’t want a lookalike bag: you want something that just looks right. While some of the bags you’ll find you might carry for seasons to come, a quick pick-me-up isn’t bad at all, and it doesn’t need to be expensive. Sling these bags over your shoulder when you need to step out for a moment and you want to do it in style!

Colorful Prints and Cool Fabrics

Who says you can’t live a little? Prints are an unexpected touch on every woman’s palette, and fun bags will jazz up even your basic black Juicy sweats. Colorful backgrounds like green and blue are great for pre-spring wardrobes that need a push in the right direction– and you can stock up quite frugally as well.

Our Fabcrush Tip: Start with a blank canvas and work your way up!

This featured bag above from Old Navy ties in leather trim and classic canvas for an all-weather treat, and it’s a major save when you compare it to pieces like the Elliott Lucca tote with a similar shape and color. With a few added keychains and brooches to your Old Navy piece, you’ll have a bag that costs far less.

White for Vacationing

During your best vacationing times, you’ll want a bag that says a lot. Bright whites are great for South America, for the Caribbean, and for distant islands that you used to just dream of. But you don’t want to have to worry about your bag when you’re busy sunning and lunching– not when you save more than 50% on a perfectly gorgeous version, like the Miss Sixty Bag above.
