It's official. I've found the bag I'm coveting this spring. The Chloe Marci Saddle Bag in blush nude is my new favorite. It's not exactly a bargain so I've included four equally drool-worthy options below that are a bit more budget friendly. I think I'm grabbing the Rebecca Minkoff number myself. What about you?
Because It's All About That Bag

I've always been a bit of a purse and shoe addict. There's something in my personality that has a hard time feeling like there's ever going to be enough of anything and shoes and bags are at the top of that list.
I know, I know. Quality trumps quantity every time, but while I absolutely love the expensive pair of Louboutins I found under the Christmas tree one year, there's something insanely satisfying about finding three pairs of shoes at a sale and getting to come home with all of them because they're so deeply discounted.
With this bag, you don't have to choose between quantity and quality. While it wouldn't exactly be fair to call it a steal, for the quality of the bag and the fact that it can be used as a clutch, a shoulder bag (short chain strap) or crossbody (long leather strap) you really are getting both quality and quantity without breaking the bank.
Pleather For The Win

Pleather used to be a dirty word in my fashion vocabulary. Aside from the pretty unbeatable lime green vintage pleather couch that graced my college apartment, fake leather had no place in my home.
Today, it's a different story. There are so many great "vegan" leather options that won't break the bank. This skirt is just one of them. It's the perfect length, has pockets and is currently 33% off at Nordstrom, which means you can get the look of leather for only $56.28.
If leather is your thing, check out this crossbody bag by Rebecca Minkoff. The floral pumps from Banana Republic are no longer available, but there are lots of options out there at different price points including these, these and these.
