We all know how hard it is to find a bag that suits your every need. It’s got be big enough to carry more than just your lipstick and I.D., but small enough so it doesn’t look like you’re lugging a sack of potatoes to the bar.  Impossible you say? Fear not! Here’s a rundown of three go-to bags that are sure to solve your purse predicament.

Although you might not expect it, Old Navy actually has some very cute purse under $20. Check out their faux-leather hobo ($14.99). The bag comes in gray and black, looks super-luxe, and can easily be dressed up or down depending on your day-to-night fashion selection.

Target also has a nice array of handbags that you can choose from. I absolutely love their Carlos Falchi crossbody bag in purple collage ($24.99). Sure, it’s a little smaller, but it might be a match made in heaven if you don’t carry that much during the day besides your wallet and your i-Phone.

Perfer your bling on your bag and not your bod? Charlotte Russe’s studded satchel ($19.99) has just enough rock star cool potential to give you the edge you need in Trig class. The bag comes with interior cell and multiple zip pockets, plus the gold and silver accents make it easy to mix n’ match with your entire wardrobe.
