Frugal Friday: Club Monaco Ela Editor’s Bag

When you’re craving the high that comes with buying a new bag, the frugal approach is best. It’s Friday. You’ve had a long week and you want to reward yourself! If you reward yourself every week, though, the tab will reach crazy heights in no time. This on-trend black and white polka dot printed bag is just the right fix. Besides, calf hair for this price? It’s a no-brainer! The editor-favorite pouch is the height of chic right now, and as busy editors know, a strap makes it all the more covetable. It would be nice if the chain had leather padding where it hits the shoulder, but with a silhouette this thin, you won’t likely be carrying anything too hefty. It’s meant to hold just the essentials. After all, have you ever seen an editor schlepping a bulky tote? Street style photographers wouldn’t give her a second glance. Get the slimmed-down look with this Frugal Snob steal! Club Monaco Ela bag available at Club Monaco for $348.
