Embellishment has been big in handbags the past couple of years. So maybe others have some great bags to show.

I have 2 bags but they aren't great. LOL! As much as I love "sparkle", I'm hesitant to invest in embellished bags because they can get dated quickly or my taste will change.

I only have two embellished bags and they hold up the "low rent" part of my collection.

• No name pewter leather studded crossbody
I keep this bag for going to semi dodgy neighborhood type places. For example, in my hometown there is a very popular place people like to go to for watching ball games etc. It's not in the best area, so if I go, I take this bag. lol!

I don't like spending money on evening bags but I go to a lot of formal events. This bag goes with almost everything at a teeny price.

I have a semi-embellished vintage evening bag that I carry for dressy occasions when I don't need to have my phone with me (or it can go in The Hubster's pocket, LOL!). It's from the 1940s, and is made of an embellished fabric called cordé. It isn't beaded, it's more like corduroy, but it has sort of a beaded look to it. The handle is lucite.

Eek! Sorry for the huge pictures!!!
