How to Find a Purse That Goes With Everything

I have started growing my purse collection over the past year or so, and honestly have found so many great closet staples! In this post, I’m going to share with you How to Find a Purse That Goes With Everything. I love a neutral brown bag (whether a crossbody or a tote) and that’s the type of bags I’ll be sharing in my roundup today! There are four that I have photos of, but I’m also going to link others throughout the post.

When it comes to handbags, I love black and brown purses! They always end up matching with every outfit I wear and just look really put together. These are two of the best handbag colors for all seasons and are the shades I always gravitate towards no matter what ensemble I’m putting together. I wanted to share four of my favorite bags, as well as where I look to shop for them too!


Mini Crossbody Saddle Bag

I wanted to start this post by sharing a dark brown purse! This gorgeous little saddle bag was gifted to me from the Draper James team over the summer. It is the most gorgeous shade of brown and the darker leather details elevate it even more! This purse is perfect if you have a more plain look. Throw on a white button front shirt, some medium wash jeans, a pair of booties, and this purse to complete the look!

Crossbody bags are perfect if you’re on the go. Sometimes my massively heavy tote bag just isn’t the size I need when running errands. This is perfect to keep your phone, wallet, keys, and anything else small in! I love a lock clasp as well just to make everything remains secure and doesn’t fall out. I linked a few other saddle bags in neutral tones that I love below! They’re all from multiple price points so be sure to scroll through.


Shop Saddle Bags


One of my other fav purse colors for all seasons is this deeper brown that almost looks mustard colored! This is a Canvas Transport Tote from Madewell and I have loved using this gorgeous bag. It was a PR gift from Madewell and I have absolutely fallen in love with the style. I actually just bought the brown everyday tote that I linked underneath this image! The stripe details are everything I could want in a bag and more.

I love this style of tote because not only does it have leather handles, but it also has a long strap too! This is perfect for when you don’t feel like carrying it with your hands anymore and just want to throw it over your shoulder. I also love the subtle leather detail on the pocket. It helps the bag to be a little bit more elevated! The best feature of this bag though has to be the large front pocket, as well as the smaller pocket inside. Perfect for holding anything you need!


Shop Everyday Totes


If you’re looking for cheap brown purses, go no further than this! I purchased this tote bag from JCPenny (can you believe?!) last year, and I love everything about it. I have used this $20 bag as my go-to for everyday use and it’s still in near perfect condition! If I am on the go and need to bring my laptop, I can just throw it inside. It holds everything I need and more.

The front pocket is helpful too because I usually keep my keys, phone, chapstick, and any other small items I need in it. It helps with easy access when I’m on-the-go! I wanted to offer a mega-affordable section to this post, so if you need a new tote bag, but can’t spend more than $50, this section is for you! I have rounded up affordable totes below. Feel free to shop!


Tote Bags Under $50


The last bag I wanted to share in this roundup of purse colors for all seasons was this oversized crossbody bag! This style feels like it’s between a tote bag and a crossbody bag which sometimes is all that you need. This bag was gifted to me by Rothy’s and I love their products for a reason. They’re SUSTAINABLE! This bag is a little pricey, but it’s insanely well made and created with marine plastic. You get a tote PLUS get to help the environment!

I love this style of handbag because it’s everything you love in a crossbody, but everything you want from a tote! It’s easy to carry/throw over your shoulder, and you have all the space you could ever ask for. This one I especially love because it has leather panels on the bottom that keep the fabric from getting scuffed! It’s an extra little detail that just elevates the entire purse.


Shop Crossbody Totes


Purse Tips Recap

1. Find a black/brown tote bag!

2. Choose a bag that has the functionality you need (i.e. extra space, more pockets, multiple straps, etc.)!

3. Look in your closet and see which tote color will match best with your wardrobe!

4. Search for bags in your price range! For affordability, I always suggest Target.

5. Purchase your perfect handbag!


I hope you guys enjoyed this post! I had so much fun rounding up my favorite handbags and explaining to you How to Find a Purse That Goes With Everything!

MY VICE PRESIDENT IS A BLACK WOMAN!!!! 🎉😭⁣ MY VICE PRESIDENT IS A BLACK WOMAN!!!! 🎉😭⁣
⁣
Four years ago was a very dark day for me. I was worried about immigrants, women’s rights, the climate, etc. I feared that irreversible damage would be done (and honestly some has).⁣
⁣
Today, today I have HOPE. I see a President that cares about the country, the climate, and our people. I see someone who wants to repair the damage that has been done and work towards a better future. ⁣

People love to separate MLK into this bucket where he fits their own idea of him. A “model” minority. Somehow they feel it makes them less racist and more of an “ally” to POC and it needs to stop. ⁣

5 PICTURE POSING TIPS! 📸 (Save This!!!!) ⁣
⁣
1. Throwing Your Scarf at the Camera - This adds depth and dimension to the shot + it’s just so cute!⁣
⁣
2. Looking Over Your Shoulder - I feel like I his pose is really chic and is always a 10/10! ⁣
⁣
3. Kicking Your Leg Back - I feel like this is just a really fun pose that people love seeing! ⁣
⁣
4. Leaning Against a Pole - (or using it as a balance) It mixes up the colors of a shot + adds more dimension to it! BONUS - helps you to balance in heels 😉⁣
⁣
5. “Walking” Across The Street - I honestly suck at looking natural while walking even if I’m literally walking (@hannahlozanophoto can attest to this). But when you get it right, it’s CUTE! ⁣

Let’s make 2021 the year of loving yourself! ❤️ Your body has gotten you through almost an entire year of a pandemic. Gaining a little weight means NOTHING. ⁣
⁣
I feel like every year I make resolutions to lose weight or work out more. Every year I also always end up falling short of these goals. I also know I’m probably not the only one! ⁣
⁣
This year we need to be happy with the bodies we HAVE! Being healthy doesn’t have a size/weight limit. Love yourself, love your body, and everything else will fall into place! ⁣

I bought this tee a couple months ago and when deciding what to post today, I KNEW it had to be this. It’s been hard trying to put into words what seeing the Capitol stormed by terrorists feels like, but this is it.⁣
⁣
AOC and other Congressmen & women were trapped in a place that should’ve been one of the most heavily secure in the country. I feel like a lot of us are feeling lucky we haven’t had to experience that in our lives. ⁣
⁣
But this should’ve never happened. It can’t happen again. Not just that, but we now have members who have COVID because some of the Republican Congresspeople refused to wear masks. I am angry. You should be angry. ⁣
⁣
Something needs to change and it needs to change right now. Period. I thank our Congress for their courage and @aoc for always speaking out. ⁣I hope to be more like you!
