Summer Purse Trends

Summer Purse Trends

When thinking about updating your look for a new season, a purse or clutch is an easy way to do just that!  In fact accessories, always elevate a look taking it up a notch.  We discussed just that in previous blogs titled:  Attention to Details Makes an Outfit Look Complete and Accessories Make the Outfit!  Here’s what’s trending for Summer 2018:

Round Bags

Think rattan and round!  I found the cutest cross body round, rattan bag at Francesca’s!   I got tons of compliments the day I carried it!  If you only get one new summer bag, this is the IT bag to have!

This round metallic bag from New York and Company caught my eye immediately!  I knew I had to have it!  I love all things metallic!  On a side note, I think I’ll title this look my “Mr. Clean Look”!  HA!

Summer Themes

Think flamingos, pineapples, lemons, palm leaves… This flamingo cross body bag is from Charming Charlie.  One of our favorites for accessories! This top is also from Charming Charlie and they have the cutest romper in the same print!

How about these cute purses at Charming Charlie?! Tassels and pom poms continue to be trending!

Black and White is always classic no matter the season or the year.  I haven’t had the opportunity yet to style this one, but here’s a flat lay of how I intend to…

This adorable pineapple tote is a perfect match to this pineapple, bare shoulder, tassel dress!  It’s from @cathysplacecape or Cathy’s Resort Wear.  Can’t wait for it to be warm enough to wear this dress and carry this tote!

Clutches

Clutches are a big trend for summer!  I was looking for a summer bag with lots of bright colors and a tassel!  This one from Francesca’s was a winner!  Here are two ways I style it… (The pictures don’t do it justice!)

      Hi Jodie,

      I had a bunch of different colored straw clutch bags that I held on to for years. Then a few years back I got rid of them all and donated them because I hadn’t used them in years! Last year and this year, I’m kicking myself! Oh well, cause for shopping for new ones! Yes, straw bags scream summer fun! Thanks for your comment!

      Thanks Hilda! Daughters are good for that – borrowing/stealing from their moms! I know I’m guilty! HA!
