It’s the season for plaid, and this classic print seems to be popping up everywhere. Like the Nine West Rory Cross-Body Bag, this Roxy Living It Up hobo handbag fits right in with the checkered scarves and coats that have now emerged from peoples’ closets.
Although I tend to prefer red and gray plaids to other options, this combination of green, blue, and black is at least a little unexpected. The color could be somewhat versatile in a winter wardrobe blending well with things like other black accessories or blue jeans.
Because of the casual style of the Living It Up handbag, I’m thinking that blue jeans are more in order for this plaid design as opposed to dress pants. This might not be the type of purse you carry to dinner, but it could look very stylish paired with jeans, tall boots, and a snuggly wool pea coat.
This isn’t an oversized handbag, but it is a nice medium hobo. The most convenient detail of it, though, is the quick switcheroo you can make from shoulder bag to cross-body by simply changing the double layer handle to a single longer strap. There’s no switching out straps or tucking anything inside. It’s a clever design feature that women are bound to appreciate.
This Roxy Living It Up hobo is extremely affordable with a price tag of only $36. At that cost, it might even be worth getting one in each color.
