GIRL ON A BUDGET: THE CROSSBODY

I know that I haven't been on for a couple of days now- actually it's more like 7 whole days but...it was my nephew's birthday this weekend and the weather was absolutely perfect for being poolside and enjoying some well deserved down time with family and friends AND my hands were full with Bar-B-Q chicken so I couldn't type. But, I have been busy with my next GIRL ON A BUDGET POST. 

This week I talk about The Crossbody Bag. I saw this silhouette back in December of 2010 and predicted that it would be big for the summer. I saw it making it's way into early Spring but now that Summer is in full effect yo- it is definitely the "it" bag of the season and I'm predicting that it will cross over into Fall. The Crossbody is just that- an over the shoulder bag that crosses your body-duh! but it's also very functional and relaxed. It frees up your hands for those days of savvy shopping, concert going, or anything else you might be doing and want to look super fabulous.  

Here are a list of a few High End Crossbodies that I salivate over- But when you're a GIRL ON A BUDGET my 6-10 options are even more lovely at these prices.
