As a career gal, you probably are transporting a great deal of stuff from home to work back home again. Between your laptop bag and/or briefcase, lunchbag, and other “stuff”, you’ve got your hands full. So instead of carrying a traditional handbag, you might consider crossbody bags. This option is convenient because it allows you to be “hands-free” while giving you style. It’s a perfect bag for the woman on the go. And if you travel a lot, a good crossbody bag can come in handy, as it is a safe option while perusing your destination.
I love a big bag, but there are times when I want to carry a smaller bag with just my essentials. A crossbody bag gives me that option and it also makes a pretty fab fashion statement as well.
There are hundreds of thousands of crossbody bags on the market, so I’ve taken the liberty to compile a curation of my favorite crossbody bags that are perfect for working girls. These bags can transition from spring to summer, giving you a finishing touch to most any look.

Coach always offers classic style, which lends to career wear in a fabulous way. These Coach Bleeker North/South Singback crossbody bags are small, but can hold most of your essentials. The color palette is pastel and fresh, which is on trend this season. And at $148.00, they won’t break the bank. (photo, Coach.com)
