ALL IN THE DETAILS: Tote-ally Stylish

What is a great outfit without a totally fashionable accessory to go with it? Bags are the best way to complete an outfit and give your ensemble an extra touch. When going to school, even in the summer, taking a little bag is not functional. A tote is a great bag that can be used to fit all your essentials whether it be school supplies or other necessities like makeup.

As a fellow Fashionista I think a big bag is a must-have. I love to have it with me when going to work or when I travel. It’s perfect for all our random needs. I always try to carry snacks, gum and an umbrella because summer carries the most unpredictable rain storms. Don’t get me wrong, cross-body bags are also great accessories, but having a good durable tote bag can be trendy and functional.

This Fashionista does a great job of pairing her denim ensemble with a black tote bag. She wears a black tank top with a denim button-down, denim shorts and black gladiator sandals. She accessorizes with a couple of bracelets, a statement necklace and a pair of black sunglasses. Her outfit, while casual, is on trend, and she uses her accessories to add a little pizzazz.

How To: Totes do not have to be super expensive. Forever 21, Francesca’s and Target are great places to grab a good tote purse at a good price. Put on an amazing outfit for wherever you’re going and accessorize it with a tote bag. Black is a classic color that can be paired with anything, but don’t forget to experiment with colors and cute patterns.
