Why yes, you can build your personal style around a bag you love! Why not… although I confess, carrying the patterned bag with the Missoni cardigan would be tough for me…

Funny you should do this today. Just last night, I was looking at a Vera Bradley handbag that I own and thinking that maybe the color palette, royal and navy with some white and yellow might work for me. I am in a bit of a transition, I stopped coloring my hair about 18 months ago. The grey pattern resembles my mother's (and grandmother) which means I will eventually have white in the front and more grey at the back. Since black looks like death on Mom, I am thinking I will need to start working toward a new color palette for my clothes. I just haven't decided which way to go yet. I found your blog about 2 weeks ago and am almost through all of your old posts. You have given me many ideas and lots of food for thought. Thank you.
I love how you have created outfits that are seasonless! I love this tote, but would probably make the mistake of pigeon holing into only using in Fall, since it's in 'earth tones'. I enjoy the outfits you've chosen…because they make being able to carry a tote in one palette many more months of the year…which also brings the 'cost per wear/use' down as the wearer will be able to use the bag more. Well done!
What a fun tote!
I might shy away from some of the pattern mixing but I do love how you've brought it all together.
The black dress with those juicy tangerine accents would be something I'd wear…
Very lovely combinations!
Thank you SO much! Love, love, LOVE these ideas … especially the last two pairings. Oh that dress! Headed over to the Muji website for the linen sweater!
Using the tote is a great starting point! You have certainly sparked my imagination.
Another great round of pairings!
I don't know how you do it – pulling an outfit together so beautifully. As always every combination is a winner. You make it look easy but I don't know how to start to arrive at such inspiring combinations.
I agree with you on the first outfit, and always wondered how you feel about this current trend of pattern mixing. I know it has been done successfully in men's wear forever, maybe because the patterns and colors are not bold. But what is being done recently looks always messy and a bit clownish to me. The woven flats in the second outfit make me swoon. Just lovely.
Congratiolations and thank you! Found you some months ago. Greetings from Finland. Regards Eva
