We don't know about you, but every so often it becomes necessary to hang up the oversized "work" bag we carry and opt for a breezier, smaller style - at least for a few days, a week if we can manage. 

So in an effort to maintain our attention to style (and preserve our posture at the same time), we're reaching for a new cross-body bag. Now, the look you loved to wear on weekends in the city is also office appropriate - thanks to a summer offering of on-trend purses both mid-size and petite. We've rounded up the top 5 bags to take you from work to weekend and back again, while still managing to hold your day-to-day essentials. 

Miu Miu Madras bag, $1,530. Available at Net-A-Porter
