How to pick the right bag

Tired of using a backpack to carry all your books to and from class? Instead pick a tote or hand bag for a sharp, clean look to rock this fall. Here are some suggestions and guidelines to picking out the perfect tote or handbag for class. First off, think ahead. What is the bag going to be mostly used for? Think about having enough room for things like books, your laptop, snacks, or makeup. These bags are great for any occasion and give you plenty of room to carry a good amount of items. The tote or handbag come in hand when you find yourself “on the go” whether it’s to class or  to a friends house for the weekend.

When deciding what bag to purchase, it’s best to start thinking about how much space and room you’ll need in your bag. First when picking out a bag, see how much it weighs when it’s empty. Why? Because if it already weighs a lot empty, imagine how much it will weigh with all your stuff in it. Second, put all your belongings in your current purse into the new bag to see if it hangs well.

Key hint: Also make sure the handles are sturdy and comfortable for your shoulders. A cross-body strap is also helpful for carrying heavy weight around all day.
