Functional Fashion: 8 Really Cute & Functional Bags

One woman can never have too many bags. Most women can attest that there is rarely ever an event or situation you attend that doesn’t require you to carry some of your belongings with you. Sometimes all you need is your car keys or a credit card, like on a quick trip to the grocery store. However, other situations, like when you’re heading off on a weekend trip, necessitate a larger packing list. Many men might be able to get away with just using the unusually large pockets of their pants to carry their necessities. One look at the non-existent pockets of female skinny jeans, however, shows that this same trick doesn’t work the same way for women. That’s why women really do need the excessive horde of bags that exist in most of our closets.

When it comes to choosing a bag to buy, there are two main concerns most women consider before making their purchase: attractiveness and functionality. You want to make sure that the bag you buy fulfills its purpose, comfortably holds what you need, and doesn’t fall apart. However, you also want the bag to add, not detract, from your style when it’s on your person. Any bag you buy needs to be both cute and functional, but this combination can be somewhat difficult to find.
