When I was younger, I switched handbags nearly as often as I changed my clothes. I had cheap, faux-leather purses in every color of the rainbow. I fondly remember a sunflower yellow hobo I toted for a few years, as well as a cobalt blue bag with a giant flower adorning its front. As I've grown, my taste in handbags has certainly changed. Now, I'm a huge advocate of the staple bag: a classic, generation-transcending, occasion-transcending bag of good quality. Naturally, this sort of purse comes with a heftier price tag. Whether you have a designer or mall budget, you can find a gorgeous staple bag to go with any look.

Even if you can't spend several hundred (or thousand, eek!) dollars on a staple piece, dupes exist for less than $100 and are just as beautiful and versatile as the designer staples.

However, this summer there is a massive trend amongst designers: bright-colored handbags! A boring suit or LBD can easily stand out with the addition of one of these jewel tone satchels, and a neon purse with a drab office outfit is sure to get you noticed and help your business casual stay trendy.

What do you think? Should you splurge on a staple bag or replace a cheap one every few months? Is a colored handbag trendy and fun or tacky and obnoxious? Let me know!
