Get it for Less

I'm loving the canvas bag look for the spring/summer season. Since everyone is concerned with "going green", this casual, dressed down, earthy look is all the rage (minus the bohemian influence). Yet even though this look is supposed to celebrate minimalism, it can still cost a pretty penny to look that casual. While some pieces can become wardrobe staples, it's not a good idea to spend too much on a trend that focuses on simplicity. Luckily for us, these types of trends are the easiest to "get it for less".

Exhibit A

InStyle Magazine: Rafe New York Floral Canvas Clutch (big clutches this spring ladies! if you don't know, now you know). Originally $245.00; now on sale for $146.99


MY Old Navy Burnt Orange Clutch Purse. Originally $14.99; on sale now for $6.99!



Sorry my pictures don't really do justice to the Old Navy bag...but don't be fooled by the magazine magic (i.e. great lighting) behind the Rafe bag! Trust me, the Old Navy clutch is just as cute, and you can decorate it with buttons (as above) or patches, or hell fabric paint, if you want. Just have some fun, be stylish, and save some cash.
