Nude Studded Tote ($16, Boohoo)
Striped Tote (19.90, Forever 21)

Faux Leather Tote ($14.95, Forever 21)
You can get this faux leather tote in either black or red, but we'd recommend spicing things up and going with the latter. Red just pops for this design, but at this price ($14.95, Forever 21) you can go ahead and get both and not break the bank.
BAGGU Duck Tote ($32, Urban Outfitters)
This BAGGU tote comes in a handful of colors — but only one matters to us. The yellow one ($32, Urban Outfitters) is giving us life. It's bright and cheery for the spring and summer, is a definite fall (leaves) color, and then adds some happiness to the dismal winter months.
Haya Hobo Snake Bag ($55, Topshop)
Net Bag ($29.99, Papaya)
Navy Shoulder Bag ($59, ModCloth)
Striped Weekender Bag ($39.99, Target)

Scuba Shopper ($35, ASOS)
On Wednesdays (and every other day) we wear pink. Especially if it's this scuba shopper that is reversible. Yup, turn it gray with one swift motion, pop in your laptop, and be on your way ($35, ASOS).
