Who doesn’t love color? Color can make you feel happy or serene or thoughtful. We all have way too many pieces of Black clothing in our closet and if you are anything like me I occasionally go wild with a new crisp White shirt every season. I swear, I walk into a store and am immediately drawn to the crispest whitest and most pristine shirt on the clothing rack and then I stop myself. It is time to cleanse my palette and yours as well.
The September Issues of all of the fashion magazines talk about color and each page is filled with colors like Scarlett, Shamrock, Tangerine, Bright Navy and Turquoise.
Did you know that only one or two Giant Fashion Changes happen in a Decade? Well the seismic shift for this Decade is the use of Color. It is time to reset that default from Black to Color and the good news is that it is not going away.
Is this appropriate for the office? Being the Business Bag Guru that I am, it is a question I get asked often. So here is the answer. It depends on your Career and your position. Are you a Vice President in the Liquidation Department of a Mortgage Company? If the answer is yes, then showing up in Hot Pink, Green and Navy when you are discussing someone’s pending Foreclosure is not a great idea. If you are in Marketing, Advertising, a Business Owner, or in Retail Sales then I say, go wild.
Since I am rather co
nservative and love owning a few really good investment pieces of clothing, what better way to look modern and on trend then by using accessories to jump on the color Band Wagon? Nothing looks more chic then a fantastic crisp black dress and a pair of Red pumps or Kelly Green boots. Since there are finally an amazing assortment of business bags in the market that look more like an over sized elegant handbag, then this is the year to splurge on that Orange Rolling Laptop Bag. Since we all carry some type of device whether it is a laptop computer, and IPad, Kindle or Cell Phone, try spicing things up with a bright colorful cover for one of your new devices. Actually that might be the perfect solution for someone in a more
conservative field.
How about a Green Laptop Bag or a Red Laptop Tote. Red is a great solution to add a little pop to an outfit and it is really one of the best and most appropriate color accessories for even the most Conservative profession.

I know it was 107 degrees last week here in Texas but I dragged my girlfriend out to shop for Boots because I couldn’t wait another day longer.
Every year I splurge on the September Issues of all of the fashion magazines. I love them and mark the pages
of all of the yummy sweaters and jackets while I dream of living in a place where I can wear my new boots the first week of September.
I do purchase the magazines for work so that I can help all of you choose just the right laptop bag to go with your new fall wardrobe and I even chose a new laptop bag for myself from Theresa Kathryn to go with my new Riding boots.
When I first decided to design Business Totes and Laptop Bags for Women back in the early 90′s, it was the color Burgundy that drove me to make the decision. I went into store after store trying to find the perfect Business Case for an important meeting and all of the sales people showed me the same and only Burgundy small brief case. 
After 10 stores I knew I had to help all of those women out there just like me and design a line of briefcases for women. I had to save them from the same Burgundy experience since I had nothing in my closet to go with a briefcase that color. I eventually sold my company to follow that dream and have been saving women from boring business cases for almost 20 years.
And now ladies, BURGUNDY IS BACK! and we have some beautiful Rolling laptop bags and laptop totes that will make you look like a million b
ucks.
Red and Black shown together was all over the magazi
nes and I have had quite a few customers ask if we had any laptop bags that are red with black trim and the answe it is YES. One of our favorite brands called Jack Georges has some terrific styles as well as a few other brands
Here is another great laptop bag that would be perfect for this season that is well priced, made of yummy mahogany colored leather, can hold a 15.4″ laptop computer and all of the essentials to go with it. Rich deep brown, camel, black and Animal prints seemed to rule the runway as well for Fall 2001
and we have a fantastic assortment of laptop bags that will compliment all of those colors.
Let us know what your favorite Fall 2011 trend is and we can find you just the right laptop case.
The larger the laptop the less expensive the price these days. So many of our customers are getting these huge laptop computers from their companies, friends, and family and the designer laptop bags to fit these little monsters was very limited until now.
One of favorite vendors and one we have worked with since we started www.careerbags.com is Clark & Mayfield. Lauri the designer never fails to come up with the best and the brightest. I like this bag so much that I would even consider buying one these 18.4″ Laptop Computers just to get the bag.Also available in Navy or Black
If weight is an issue how about a new Rolling laptop Bag in Camo Pink?
