In this new weekly column by the fabulous Sydne Summer of Sydne Style, we'll be bringing you an amazing bauble, shoe or bag that just looks expensive! —BB
I was so excited when the Budget Babe asked me to write a weekly column on affordable accessories. Not only have I been a long time fan of this site, but BB and I are friends in real life, too (and yes, she’s even more awesome in person!).
Every week, I’m going to introduce you to my favorite budget-friendly accessory that’s currently available online or in stores. Since emerald is the hottest color of the year, I figured I’d kick off the series with this gorgeous Forever 21 handbag.
A jewel tone bag can easily be a neutral accessory in your wardrobe. You can pair emerald with just about everything from black and brown to other popular fall colors, like wine and cobalt blue.
I found this one in the new arrivals at my local Forever 21. The main reason it looks more expensive than its $29.80 price tag is the hardware. When picking out a bag of your own, look for special details, like exposed zippers and gold accents.
While this bag isn’t available online yet, I’m also loving the cross-body version ($21.80), which features the same shiny gold closure.
To see how I’m wearing my accessory steal, check out this week’s Staples Series on SydneStyle.com!
