Steve Madden BHarris Hobo Cognac | #maxxinista

What do you look for in a purse?  We all such specific needs.  I need one to be a good size, not crazy large, but big enough to hold my everyday items and accommodate my iPad if I want to bring it along.  So, size matters.  In the spring and summer, I usually look for some color – something to blow away the winter cobwebs.  But in the winter, I’m pretty traditional – it must be black or brown – or better yet – black and brown.

I am not one of those women who change out their purse with each outfit.  I wish I was, because all you fashion bloggers out there make it look so easy.  So, I need something that is going to go with everything I put on.  So, a black and brown purse is perfect.  The other thing I need in a purse is a nice long cross body strap.  I am tall and I have neck issues.  If I wear my purse on just one shoulder, my neck starts to act up, but with a cross body bag, I have no problems.  Plus a cross body bag give you that extra bit of security, you can be using your hands and not worry about your heavy purse slipping off your shoulder.

Another thing I like in a bag is an outside zippered pouch – something big enough to hold my phone.  This one is just big enough to hold my new iPhone 6+!

I love the detailing on this purse.  It is primarily cognac colored, with black accents.  The black bands on the handles and the belt type straps just adds such a nice touch.  The sides of the purse can zip closed to hide some of the extra black, since I need the width, I leave mine unzipped.

I love my Steve Madden BHarris Hobo bag in cognac found at my favorite purse shopping store where every #maxxinista loves to shop – T. J. Maxx!
