Fashion Friday: Spring Bag
Happy Spring, friends! Even if it doesn’t look like it or feel like it, it’s officially Spring and I’ll take that! I’m trusting that before long the flowers will start blooming and all the snow of this winter will be a distant memory. A new season not only means warmer weather, it also means fun new fashion trends! It’s a great excuse to trade your winter hats and coats for some things that look and feel more like Spring!

One of my favorite things to change seasonally is my bag! I have a little {ok, HUGE} obsession with bags, and so I’m always happy for any excuse to carry a new one. Recently, I had the opportunity to test out a bag of my choice from Miche, and let me tell you, I am in love. Not only is it adorable, but you can change it out seasonally…let me show you.
The first step is to choose a base bag. I chose the Classic Base Bag {Black} because it’s just the right size for me. It’s big enough to hold the things I need to carry all the time {my keys, my wallet, my phone, my lip gloss, a pen, hand sanitizer…} and a few little toys for LC to play with in a pinch. But, it’s not so big that I end up throwing a bunch of things in there that I don’t need or that it overwhelms my frame.
Then, once you choose a base, you pick a shell…it’s like playing dress up with your purse! Here are four of my favorite shells for the Classic bag; the Lila, the Blanche, the Mimi, and the Rita. The shell magnetically attaches to the base; it’s super easy to do, but the hold is strong enough that it definitely won’t fall off while you’re out and about! Changing outfits or seasons? Change your shell to match! How fun is that?! I had a hard time deciding which one I wanted to start with, so I asked you all on Facebook and you helped me choose the Lila Shell for Spring.
My bag and shell arrived last week, and I have been using them ever since! I’ve already gotten a number of compliments from other moms and staff members at my son’s school.
I love the color of it, and I’m really pleased with the high quality of both pieces. Sometimes when you get an item you’ve ordered online, it doesn’t match your expectations, but I can honestly tell you that this exceeded my expectations for it. Carrying this bag definitely puts me in more of a springtime mood too!
What are some of your favorite ways to accessorize for Spring? Do you get a new bag? Wear different colors? Choose different jewelry? I’d love to hear your tips!
I love that purse! You are too cute!
It really is a great bag. I tried to steal it when you weren’t looking! My birthday is in a couple of weeks I think should get myself one.
What a great bag….the turquoise is my favorite!
That bag is super cute!
So cute! I love the colour!
You look great! I love your purse!! I have already changed my purse from my red to my dark pink Dooney Bourke purse. When summer comes, I change to my my orange one.
I love the color. It is one of my favorites. Perfect for Spring. I love the style of it too!
I think you went with the right color! It looks great for Spring. (Which is here in full-force on the West coast. Just sayin’ 🙂
Love that color…perfect for Spring, if Spring ever gets here!
<3 Lila for Classic!!! She is gorgeous!!! A suggestion, pick up a set of the interchangeable silver handles and the cream strap. All of our handles are interchangeable and it will create a totally different look for you!
I always love reading about happy MICHEnistas!!!! Thank you for sharing and welcome to our addiction!
Thanks for a great post! The Lila Classic looks cute on you. One of my favorite ways to accessorize for any season change, is to change my purse Shell. I also like to add some seasonal jewelry for an extra pop of color depending one what I’m wearing.
I was searching google for a certain Miche Shell and your picture popped up…OH MY goodness what an adorable outfit…from head to toe….You look super cute in your Spring outfit…….since Winter is almost here now I am warming up my outfits…Still using some of my tank tops and adding a cute shrug or long sleeved light sweater with fun jewelry and of course matching my Miche….You picked out some great shells….I hope your collection has grown a bit with the seasons since this post was created…
I loved your pic so I had to comment…
Blessings for the rest of Fall, Winter and 2015~
