Everyday bags just can’t make it into that special event. But you don’t need to spend a lot of money on a bag that carries just a few essentials.
• Check the children’s department. They have adorable versions of the most popular styles, perfectly sized for evening events.
• Use a cosmetic bag as an inexpensive, chic clutch.
•Take along one of those cute little bags that jewelry comes in.
• Dress up a pencil case with an elegant pin.
• You can even make your own evening bag with a remnant fabric or even a piece of an old prom gown or bridesmaid’s gown. You just sew three sides together and add a cord as a drawstring.
• Don’t forget to scour flea markets for vintage evening bags.
