No matter how much you love to shop, it can be almost impossible to purchase on-trend items every season while staying within your budget. However, if you're looking for a way to update your style, affordably accessorizing is the key. Today, I've chosen to focus on an accessory that is essential to completing every look, a bag.
Replacing your bag with one that matches this season's trends is a great way to revitalize your style with one simple change. These bags are sure to elevate your looks with the latest trends while helping you avoid having to replace your entire closet. Between embellished, metallic, and straw bags, there is a trend that is sure to update any style. The best part—all the bags are under $50.
