The Average Jane: Handbags for Spring/Summer

Wouldn't it be great if we only needed one bag for every occasion in life!? Unfortunately that is not the case. We need handbags that will carry all our necessities and look cute in the process.

In today's post I will be showing you some of my favorite bags (none over $100) and how to pair them with an outfit.

#1. This top handled tote has an extra cross body strap for easy carrying. The blue really makes the leather accents stand out while the linen makes it great for summer!

#2 Again I've paired a cross body leather bag with light weight summer items. When adding a heavy fabric such as leather to an outfit be sure to anchor the look with leather shoes too.
