On the Sale Rack -- Cheap & Chic Finds

Finding a stylish handbag on sale is rare find and in general the one piece of your wardrobe I would ordinarily suggest investing in.  However, both of these handbags from Nine West deliver on style and value.

 Sweptaway Clutch $39.99

I love the colors of this bag...black suede, gold and brown metallic patches and a removable silver chain. This color combo goes with just about everything.  The asymmetrical flap is interesting and the oversize clutch is the new hot shape in handbags.  Remove that chain link strap for the clutch and you've got 2 handbags for the price of 1!  This bag can go day to evening - wear with jeans and either a black blazer or cardigan or a little black dress after dark.

Tikabead Canvas Hobo $29.99

This bag comes in two colors that are good buys now and will be ready to go when summer rolls around next year.  Tribal is a basic trend for summer and really never goes out of style so buying this bag is a safe bet for future use.  For over 50% off, the detail-work is ornate, including beading on the strap...I love the red and turquoise beading against the gold hardware. Wear with jean shorts, a tee and your best boho jewelry for day, change into a sundress and gold jewelry for a dressier look.  Just make sure you keep your footwear a little more subdued to not overdo the tribal trend.

Both of these handbags are beyond versatile and can add an element of pop to an otherwise basic outfit.
