There a few items in a woman’s closet that I think is okay to splurge on and every girl should have. A nice pair of jeans, a good pair of leather boots (or faux-leather for those of you who don’t do the leather thing) and a carry-all bag. Every girl should own at least one big carry-all bag. No matter if its used as an overnight bag or your daily bag, I feel it is a crucial wardrobe essential.

These bags are great if you feel like you need to carry your whole life with you (guilty) and need a place to throw that half eaten sandwich you didn’t get to finish on your lunch break (that is probably way too short) — perfect for the girl on-the-go.
