Shoulder Bags: A Must-Have

A shoulder bag is a difficult closet item. It's hard to find one that lays on your body in a flattering way, and it's even harder to find one that doesn't look like a 5th graders messenger book-bag, and still fits all of your day-to-day items. Also, I have found that shoulder bags (out of all handbag styles) run the highest risk of looking cheap, but this M Clifford Designs bag is a great find! 

This shoulder strap is optional, so if you are cramped for time, it goes from shoulder bag to clutch faster than you can say "this bag is amazing!" AND it's dimensions are 10"H x 15"W x 1" D you can't get more perfect amount of space than that. It comes in 3 awesome colors: Black, Dark Red and Camel - all three of which are totally seasonal, versatile, and utterly yummy looking! But do not be fooled, it's not only the colors that differentiate each bag from the other, it's also the detailing with the leather. The black and red are regular leather, while the camel is made of "fish scale patterned leather" - so this one has a little more texture to it. Also, if you look at the "additional images" you will see that the trim of leather in between the two zippers is different for the black and the dark red: the black has a distressed leather look, while the red has a "snake patent print" trim. I, personally like the black the best (duh!), but really all of them are great!
