Fall is one of my favorite times of the year because it’s a time – and justified excuse – to change your wardrobe especially accessories. Nothing says autumn quite like a warm colored handbag. My favorite bags for this season – whether it’s a hobo, satchel or cross-body – come in deep shades of cognac, caramel, chocolate or even mustard. Sure, it’s a time where your bag can be darker, but with rich colors at avail there’s no need to resort to black. Not until the dead winter that is. And because we’re in an economy that isn’t at its best, there’s no shame in being a recessionista. I’m a firm believer that you can find quality products at a good price, you just have to be willing to look. Take some thought in your lifestyle – your day to day life and even your social go abouts – then think about the purse that’s never let you down. (Ahh, I can see mine now.) The trick is finding several variations of that go-to-purse that’s perfect for you – just change up materials, colors and even style. Below, I’ve listed my top fall handbags under $100.
