High End to Cost-Effective: Bright Handbags!

I’ve been so obsessed with bright colors this season, especially the concept of a pop of color. From colored jeans to bright handbags, the pop of color gives an outfit pizzaz! I recently saw Victoria Beckham and the Kardashian girls carrying around bright Birkin bags and I got to thinking about bright handbags at my price point. Obviously, we can’t all afford a $8,000 and up bag like the dreamy Birkin (hello? we’re in a recession) BUT we can still look good in a cost-efficient bright bag. Here is my list of bright handbags from HIGH END to Cost Efficient and a lot of brand names in between ๐Ÿ™‚ I have my eye on a couple that I definitely have to add to my closet before the summer ends! Enjoy!

Hermes Birkin $8k+

Tory Burch $228 (on sale!)

Aldo$45

Asos $34.48
