How do I wear that trend…Hardware on bags/purses

Dec 3, 2009 by Clueless Fashionista

I was at the mall yesterday and since I am a big fan of all things shoes and purses, I was browsing around a few stores that sell both. The big trend of more hardware on bags/purses is still going strong.

For those of you who may not know what I mean by hardware, in a nutshell, it’s any metal embellishment that is added to a purse.

If you look at the pictures, you will see that you can easily involve yourself in this trend in more than one way.  There are bags out there that are very decorative with many embellishments and ones that are more understated with only a few.  For you adventurous ladies who enjoy wearing accessories that stand out and draw attention, go pick up a great bag with lots of hardware.  For you ladies who prefer a more understated look, you have options as well.  If you want to treat yourself to this trend without spending hundreds of dollars on the bag, visit some of my favorite stores:

Target

Aldo

Baker’s

All three of these stores carry bags under $50 that are very cute, stylish and give you the opportunity to increase your accessory wardrobe without breaking the bank.  Click on the names and check out their websites and to find a store in your area.
