We don't know about you, but on some days we wake up feeling high fashion -- we've got poise and style and want to run around town in heels and look unapproachably gorgeous. On other days, we wake up feeling a little less au currant, but that doesn't mean we plan to schlep around in sweats and carry a backpack for a purse -- not a chance!
On the days when we feel a little more earthy, a friendly little bag like this Lucky Brand Poppy Fields Patchwork Satchel, $248 at Piperlime, is just what the doctor (or stylist) ordered. It's plenty big enough to carry whatever we might need -- lip gloss, phone, granola, touchy-feely journal -- but it's sleek enough to still be stylish. Plus, the colors are just bright enough to be noticeable but not so bright that they would clash with your outfit.

Another bonus is that it's reasonably on trend without being committed to a season, so you can wear it into the fall this year and be able to bust it out again once the snow thaws without a second thought!
