Over the last couple of weeks, I've been on a shopping kick to transition my wardrobe from summer to fall. I've stocked my closet with plenty of transitional basics and fall trends, and added some autumnal brown sneakers and loafers to my footwear collection. The only thing that's left on my new-season wish list is fall-forward bags.
Whether it's a laptop-friendly tote or a shoulder bag fit for a night out, every fashion girl knows a purse can make a break a look. That's why I'm shopping for trendy bags that elevate my transitional outfits—all without breaking my budget. Naturally, my search led me to some of my favorite affordable retailers—Madewell, Mango, and Gap—where the new fall collections are filled with buttery suede, rich autumn colors, and chic designs.
