Guess I’m feeling excited about shoes and accessories this spring, because I went a little crazy this weekend checking out the new pastel and white handbags on deck for the summer.
Being a huge handbag fan (my wallet hates me), I took the plunge last spring purchasing a creamy/pale pink Rebecca Minkoff “Mini MAB Tote” handbag, which I absolutely adore and convinced my mom to purchase a pale gray Kate Spade hobo style bag. Both of us have been able to utilize these bags for multiple occasions and I love the subtle pop it gives the outfit.
Thankfully, it’s quite easy to pair these pretty pastels with outfits ranging from casual to dressy. I personally love this particular accessory with a bright white pant. Great tops to pair with this combo can be a casual tee, jersey tank, or even a white blouse for an extra chic look.
One particular accessory that I’ve noticed starting to make its’ appearance in the Cleveland nightlife scene is the white handbag. I know it seems like an odd color for a handbag choice, but I have done my research and found some super cute and affordable white/pastel handbag options, which can fulfill your inner style goddess but without the financial guilt.
