Kerry Washington is showing Us how to take a simple shoulder bag and make it look extra chic! Her pick is on the pricier end, but thankfully we were able to find a lookalike for just $19!
The actress, who’s latest starring role was in The Six Triple Eight, was just spotted on December 18 while out in New York City. Heading to the ABC studios, she wore a striped orange, brown and white dress, a black coat and some black leather boots. She accessorized by adding a matching leather shoulder bag — and we need a style for ourselves!
Her pick was the Nirvana Noir bag from Aupen, which is a bit on the pricey side of things, coming in at $420. And if you’re sticking to a budget this holiday season, you can still get her look with this similar version that’s 96% less!
Get the Time and Tru Ashlyn Shoulder Handbag for just $19!
The Time and Tru Ashlyn Shoulder Handbag will give you Washington’s look . . . but at a fraction of the cost! Similar to her pick, the bag has an asymmetrical silhouette and shoulder bag design. It’s constructed with a leather-like vinyl fabric that’s made entirely of polyester, with a chic pebbled texture.
To add some chic details, the bag is also made with gold-tone hardware at the buckles and zipper. It also has a lined interior that’s spacious enough to fit most of the small necessities like your phone, a wallet, some chapstick and more. It also has a zipper closure to help keep all of your belongings safe and comes in three colors: black, camel and red.
The bag has some five-star ratings from shoppers as well, like this one that said it reminds them of a “designer one that’s trendy now, carried by celebs like Taylor Swift and Charli XCX.”
“The asymmetrical shape is sleek and interesting and it holds my (overstuffed) wallet, my phone and a few other objects easily,” they said.
A great buy for the money, a black shoulder bag is essentially the pinnacle of a versatile buy. It’s a closet staple, one that can be worn with virtually anything in your wardrobe. Washington’s dressy outfit proved how it can be elevated, but it can be worn super casually as well, such as with leggings, some tennis shoes and sweatshirt for running errands.
