#GottaHaveIt 10 Black Bags to Help You Kill It at Your Summer Internship

Working in the fashion industry, and attending events and previews can honestly make you wish you were a millionaire. Being exposed to some of the best clothing and accessories months before they hit stories can really hurt your wallet. Though I am always in the market and making a mental list of what I want to add to my wardrobe, that doesn’t necessarily mean I’m actually swiping my credit card and making a purchase (it’s unfortunately not possible). Each week though, I will round up ten things to buy that I’m currently obsessed with. This week’s inspiration? The best black bags to help you kill it at your summer internship!

I remember when I was first starting out, and preparing at this very time for my first internship; I really wanted to make sure I made a good impression. Aside from working super hard and always being early, I believe part of making a good impression is looking the part. This doesn’t have to mean going out and spending a fortune on good items. Personally, before my first internship, I went out to Nordstrom Rack and found some amazing designer pieces at super discounted prices. So in an attempt to help you move ahead and make a good impression, I rounded up a selection of the best (and super adorable) black bags.
