Handbags are a great purchase: they are practical, for starters (think of all the stuff you have to lug around with you every day) and they're an easy way to upgrade even the most basic Mom Uniform. And unlike your jeans, a handbag ALWAYS fits, no matter how many Goldfish crackers you've been swiping from the kids.But there are some simple secrets to finding the perfect bag: look for one that is proportional to your figure, for starters. A tiny bag will get lost under a big chest, and a gigantic bag will overwhelm a petite frame, so choose something that is in keeping with your own size and shape. Choose a fabric and color that will work with your existing wardrobe, but don't skimp on color and texture; your bag is an accessory, after all, and you should treat it as part of your outfit, even if you are going to stuff it full of things for the kids.Here are recommendations for five handbags, for diapers and daytime, work and weekend -- all for under $50.00 -- and one splurge bag that can cover all of those things.
