10 Reasons To Buy Over The Shoulder Bags

Andria Thompson — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 23:23:17 +0000

As there are many reasons to buy over the shoulder bags, I thought I’d share a few that would prompt anyone that’s considering whether they should or shouldn’t buy one to stop considering and instead – just buy one.

I like to think of myself as meaningful, helpful even and in case you’re on the cusp and have only managed to drum up a couple of reasons not to buy one, i.e. the usual suspects:

I don’t know, how many totes does one woman need?

Maybe I should just wait a bit longer?

… then I think it’s time I helped tip the scales in favor of you wandering around looking like you’ve got the best arm candy since the Rolex was invented.

10 Reasons To Buy Yourself A Hot And Sassy Shoulder Bag

Here they are, the top 10 reasons as to why you should stop all that meaningless pondering:

You know you want it

You totally deserve it. You work hard, play harder and anyway … where else are you going to store your keys, coin purse and cell phone? Jeans pockets? Please! Stuffing your pockets until they look like too much sausage stuffed into too little skin is soooo … masculine!

You lost weight. Reward time

You didn’t lose weight. Self-commiseration gift

You’re going to lose weight. Need something to get motivated

You won’t find it cheaper. You already tried

You won’t find one better. You already looked

And here are three more great reasons:

Sherpani Milli Shoulder Bag

The Sherpani over the shoulder bag has everything this style of bag should have; it’s pretty, it’s functional and it’s so damn hot! It’s full of neat pockets, spacious and did I mention how cute they are?

Spring is almost upon us and the color and design are perfect for lazy sunshine days. There’s a place for everything – keys, loose change, cell phone, checkbook and more. It’s well made, the straps are comfortable and adjustable, the hardware is durable and the floral lining is a beautiful contrast to the lime green exterior.

Not a bag for those that want something muted and understated, this particular shoulder bag shouts fun, fresh and funky. It also comes with free shipping, which allows you to correctly assume that it's definite steal of a deal. Gorgeous bag - reason #8

Large Shopper XL Tote Bag Reisenthel Germany

This little beauty is far from diminutive – it’s a wonderful, oversized shopper, with sturdy handles that are just big enough to keep it nice and snug when it’s worn over the shoulder.

The floral print is incredibly chic, giving it an ultra-stylish edge and the fact that it’s so spacious makes this one of those over the shoulder tote bags that you never leave at home. Why would you? It’s a shopper; the very name denotes its purpose. You buy it and then go shopping with it.

Whether or not you place groceries inside it or a great pair of summer wedges is entirely your call but, you know … at least you’ll have plenty of room to stash your purchases! It’s a European manufacture and design, very ‘now’, and its size and shape will lend it to a variety of uses. Need any more help? It’s available in 3 other designs - reason #9

Baggallini Wallet Bagg, Large

Size isn’t everything and, as over the shoulder bags go, this one is a real diamond. It’s not the biggest of shoulder bags on the market but it’s definitely a winner. It’s the kind of bag that organizes you as it’s full of zippered interior and exterior pockets. There are a couple of open inner slots, as well as an adjustable strap and some stylish detailing and hardware.

It’s available in a wide range of colors, one for every mood (or outfit) and it’s the bag for the woman on the go. Despite its size this is the bag that was designed to carry everything, even the kitchen sink, plus it looks great, whether you hang it off your shoulder or wear is like a crossbody bag. Reason #10 – it’s so damn versatile.
