15 Going-Out Bags For Every Girl — and Every Budget

Going out for a night on the town requires a few things: a good blowout, a fantastic pair of heels, and a chic little evening bag to hold all of your essentials — ID, cash, cell phone, and lip gloss.

Going out for a night on the town requires a few things: a good blowout, a fantastic pair of heels, and a chic little evening bag to hold all of your essentials — ID, cash, cell phone, and lip gloss. Whether you're hitting the bars or attending a fancy evening fête, you're likely going to need a bag that's big enough for the necessities, but small enough to not get in the way of your drinking, dancing, and overall fabulousness. While we spotted some gorgeous ones backstage at Diane von Furstenberg's recent Fall 2012 show, we've rounded up 15 evening bags that happen to go with everything, come in at every possible price point, and are available to shop right now. Click through to see them all.
