Kenneth Cole Reaction Leather Portfolio $89.99

So with the economy still obviously struggling, a lot of people are looking to… uh… “expand their career possibilities.”  Translation: They want to find a new job.  Or ANY job for that matter.  But say you were in a t-shirt and jeans industry and you have an opportunity to move onto something more professional… Good for you.  Here’s two steps to follow  before you walk into the interview:

Step 1 – Get a new suit.
Step 2 – Get a bag to match.

Being dressed like you stepped out of Mad Men, but carrying a bag like you fell out of Dawson’s Creek sends a conflicting message.  Sure the canvas messanger bag might work just fine once you GET the job.  But you don’t have the job yet… now do you?

You can’t beat the price on this classically styled bag from Kenneth Cole Reaction.  It’s at a recession-level price for someone looking to upgrade their career during tough times.  And it’s got the handle on top, plus the shoulder strap.  I’m a big fan of that combination.  And speaking of combination, it locks too.  With… a… combination.  Harrr… har.

Under $100?  It’s a rarity in the business case market.  Get one while you can.
