Designer or Deal structured hobos from top: hot designer IT bag / moderate priced, also a hot IT bag / affordable version under $100 /

The structured hobo is one of the hottest handbag silhouettes of the year. This IT bag style is being spotted on the streets, runways, and pretty much everywhere! The structured hobo was a huge handbag trend back in the mid to late 1990s, and it has returned with a vengeance! So, move over pouch clutch, the structured hobo is here!

The hottest structured hobo bag is priced well over $1000, and it sells out almost as quickly as it is placed on a store shelf. This makes it both pricey, and hard to get! Thankfully, there is an IT bag brand which offers equally hot-on-the-street bags for well under $1000. Mansur Gavriel has debuted their own version of the structured hobo, and it is already proving to be a hot IT bag. You can read my review here.

Of course, even a moderate priced bag can be pricey. This version for under $100 offers the same IT silhouette of the structured hobo for an affordable price. Love that!

Twirling back into life

dressy fall outfits

wearing: sunglasses / large gold hoops / black cut out top / G buckle belt / bracelets (local designer!) / green pleated skirt / fall nail polish / pouch clutch / chain boots /

Twirling back into life, and it feels so good! I wore this outfit a couple weeks ago to the preview party for Beyond Van Gogh. It was absolutely amazing dressing up, and going out to an event with my husband; without the kids. We haven’t had this opportunity since before the shut down. We felt so free!

If you are from another state besides California, you might be wondering why we are just getting out now. Here in California, we have had a lot of events and businesses shut down during the pandemic. It is just in the last few months that things have really begun to reopen. It took us awhile to acclimate to getting our schedule back to normal, and then adding fun events!

We loved dressing up, and going out. It was definitely a lot of fun. Not only did we love the event, it felt good to go out dressed up, without the kids. I was definitely twirling for joy!

This skirt is great for dressing up. It is easy to pair with a top on warmer fall days. It will also be easy to pair with a long sleeve top, or sweater, when the weather cools down.

Of course, when I know I will be walking, or on my feet, I love opting for boots instead of high heels. They are really comfortable and wearing socks adds some cushioning. Love that!

fall street style trends

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: green pleated skirt / small black bag (IT bag under $300) / black structured hobo (hot IT bag!) / black tee / G buckle belt / fall nail polish / water resistant boots / grey satchel / lug sole loafers /

I feel like everywhere I turn, I see outfits from the 1990s! There are baggy jeans, body conscious tops, heavy black footwear, and the classic structured hobo from the era. It is almost as if I am reliving the last decade of the twentieth century.

Of course, that was the decade of my young adult life, so the fashion and style I see on the streets brings back so many memories! It really is fun to see. This is a great trend to take advantage of since the footwear from that era is rather comfortable. Why hurt your feet when you can wear comfy lug sole boots and loafers? Love that!

Also, loose fitting, and classic cut jeans, are comfortable too. Add a fashionable top and a structured hobo bag, and you’re good to go! It’s an easy style to rock this season, and everything mixes and matches. Love!

Think trendy jeans, black top, lug sole footwear, and a black structured hobo bag. Easy, chic, and comfy. Perfection!
