Bag trends have become the most ever-changing fad in any fashion lover’s closet. Being in college, there’s no way we’re able to splurge on all these new designer launches. I mean, cmon… There’s really nothing worse than checking your credit card bill and having your expression involuntarily morph into Kim Kardashian’s crying face. So, to avoid this issue (and the frown lines), I found new, trendy, and timeless bags that don’t rack up the bill. And better yet, they’re all under $55.
