Fashion Math: Is A Mood-Altering Handbag Worth The Price?

Like skinny jeans surpassed the bell bottom, so the drawstring bag has replaced the hobo as the standard in trendy purses. With nearly 100% conviction, I think this style is here to stay well throughout the coming seasons.

This Kate Spade Westbury Drawstring Opus ($199-$299, from $395) comes in a rainbow of bright and perky colors, from poppy and berry, to tangerine, mustard, and piscine. “But I’m not the flashy type,” you say. Even with clean lines, supple leather, and simple styling? I think the fashion math will convince you:

At $4 a wear (or less) you can skip the therapist–these bright colors are bound to cheer you up, not to mention the fun you’ll have shopping with the money you saved.
