Dear Solve-it Sally,

I’m lonely and insanely depressed. I need someone who tags along with me everywhere I go. You know: someone to cheer me up and brighten my days. It would be great if they could also carry around my stuff — wallet, keys, cellie, iPod, and all that other junk. If they could add a splash of color to dreary old me, I’d be most appreciative. Any advice is welcomed.

Yours,
Boo Hoo Betty

Dear Boo Hoo Betty,

I have just the thing. It’s called an Orange Button bag, and it comes in two styles: tote and hobo. The hobos are made of colorful recycled fabrics in florals and solids. They have leather straps and vintage buckles. The three-section inside pocket helps keep you organized.

The kitschy totes are equally adorable. Each is made of canvas with hand-appliqued felt designs like paisleys, dogs, flowers, and moons. The insides have funky linings.

None costs more than a hundred bucks, which means you won’t feel guilty about your purchase. Here’s to no more cloudy days.

Fondly,
Solve-it Sally
