Rocked it & Swapped it

A mustard bucket bag complete with studs and tassels might not be considered versatile at first glance, but we can't stop wearing this one from Nordstrom so hear us out. Pair it with satin summer dress and lace up heels for an effortlessly chic look or a patterned skirt and beanie for a playful pop of color in the dead of Winter. The gold chain strap is just right for dressing things up or down and the size is perfect for a few credit cards, lipstick & phone (aka the essentials). 

What do you think? Does it work well with both looks?

Rocked it & Swapped it

If you're making room in your wardrobe for one new bag this season, make it a bucket bag. The roomy silhouette makes it totally practical, as it can hold all of your essentials, but it’s still not too clunky to take from day-to-night. I purchased this Old Navy bag last year and it has since made many appearances on the blog (See for yourselves >> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...Seriously, out of control!)

I wore it last Fall with these amazing military lace up booties and I like how Lisa went with a more monochrome look, keeping things in the black and brown family. 

Here are a few other bucket bags we have our eye on:
