I had to share this video I found on Yahoo! (click on thumbnail picture above or link below) which epitomizes how I feel about style and what I practice myself. As long as it fits right/looks good - then it doesn’t matter how much it costs, $5 or $500 (well…that upper limit is totally up to your discretion ;)) I’ve probably gotten just as many compliments on my dirt cheap sale bags/clothes as I have for all the ones that I’ve been like “ugh..I love it, but can I afford it?” about.  If anything I’m more willing to buy fun/risky/edgy things when they are bargains, because I know if I end up regretting it - so what? It was only a few $ rather than $$$$.

e.g. I match a pricey BCBG knit dress (that I actually removed the sleeves from), with a pair of pleather slouchy boots I picked up in Munich for <$50, with a Target jacket I got for around $30, all finished off with my lovely brown Longchamp Le Pliage tote. If you wear it well and are confident, no one will care or be able to tell.

Proof that you don’t always have to spend a lot of money for a great bag.  The Roxy Gracie Satchel is a cheap bag, without being a cheap bag, if you know what I mean.  At only $36, the Gracie satchel is a steal. No Joke.  The key to buying quality bags that still look fashionable despite not being of 100% leather or high-end with brand name on it - structure.  The bag can’t be overdone and at the same time, it also can’t be without adornment or embellishment.  If the bag is too plain, it could look too plastic or cheap (in a bad way), and if it has too much going on..it’ll just look gaudy, and again..cheap.

The Roxy Gracie does has just the right amount of gathering going on. Plus with the slightly distressed metallic material and flattering, no one would be able to tell you only paid $36 for it.  Oh and btw, the Gracie is completely eco-friendly, made of animal-friendly PVC.  You can’t go wrong with the Roxy Gracie, looks great and is easy on the wallet.

Here’s a fabulous Roxy bag made of polyester and nylon that I am really diggin.  This Roxy Valentine Tote is soft and quilted with a subtle blue, white and brown pattern to perfectly accent the main diesel color the bag.  The Valentine will also allow you to tromp through the fall and winter showers without having to worry about things getting wet (thanks to the poly/nylon combo and magentic closure).  Plus I really like that the bottom is made of a sturdy plastic that’s easy to clean and allows you to be worry free when setting it down.  Great for all ages.
