I don’t know if this happens to you guys, but do you ever buy the perfect bag–the one that’s gorgeous, will hold your books and your wallet and everything you could need in a day–and then spend all day digging around in it to find the one little thing you need? I’m sure this rings a bell. This Spring designers have an answer for us: the belt purse. Carry a book bag and a belt purse, and put all your necessities in the belt purse! Belt purses strutted down the Spring runways at Hermes, Jaegar London, Pucci and DVF, and now lower price point retailers have picked up the trend. They’re only a year or so behind sororities nationwide, which have been wearing fanny packs since at least 2009. Be chic and be organized this Spring with one of these purses/belts/fanny packs.
