Need some outfit ideas for those tote bags, crossbody bags, and other purses? I’ve got you covered.
Have you ever thought about which bag to pair with your outfit? I hope so! Let me show you some ideas of how to wear a tote bag, how to wear a crossbody bag, and when to wear a dressy handbag.
Don’t make your handbag an afterthought!
In the past year I’ve been doing a monthly closet essentials series, with shopping options, outfit inspiration, and styling tips for closet staples. Yesterday we talked about ESSENTIAL HANDBAGS, and today I want to share some outfit ideas with different styles of handbags – how to wear a tote bag with your outfit, which outfits are best with crossbody bags, when to add a dressier handbag.

I also like these bags that I recently found in the store. Universal colors, sizes and shapes for every taste, what could be better?:)
