Look for Less: Fringe Bags

Totally channeling my inner Hippie here with this post, but I just love the look of fringe bags lately. At first I thought I was re-inventing a hot trend from back in the 60’s (or was it 70’s?), but then I found out that I am indeed NOT a trend-setter. Let it be known I will still keep my day job.

As you can see, my girl Ashley Greene crushed my dreams of fashion-forwardness. I saw her sporting the fringe bag I thought I was going to catapult me into the likes of Karl Lagerfeld and Gwen Stefani. But no. Thanks a lot, Ash. (it also didn’t help that I actually had to Google Karl’s last name – so yep, I still know nothing)

What I DO know is that I have to find this exact bag, or at least something similar. And being that Ashley’s a celeb and all, I’m assuming I can’t afford hers. Oh, but I can try…

I love this. I hate that – $480.

Let’s try this again.

Getting warmer… Ok, maybe not at $374

Third time’s a charm?

$39.50 … perrrrfect.

Not only am I getting the ease of the cross-body strap, I’m also getting the fringe I’m dying to have.

Peace. Love. Happiness, mannn…
