Grey & Lace & Burgundy Bags

Hey guys!

I’m sups excited to share this look with you today. I’ve recently started getting into the whole “high-low” outfit thing, especially now that I actually have an income and am no longer living on a glamorous student budget… I’m trying to start building my post-college wardrobe with pieces that will hopefully last me many, many years. I’m also not a crazy person and there is absolutely no need for me to be buying only expensive and overpriced things simply because they’re designer.

But….. I definitely am beyond obsessed with handbags and have this insane mental wish list of all the specific styles I would love to own one day (Chloe Drew bag, LV Neverfull Tote, Prada Saffiano Tote, I’m looking at you guys.)

SO I was beyond psyched to get my hands on this Valentino Rockstud Camera bag from eBay. I got it new but I’m pretty sure it’s from an old season because I can’t find this exact color for sale anywhere else. Which is a damn shame because this burgundy goodness is TOO perfect. Especially for fall. This color seriously goes with everything: navy, black, camel, oatmeal, mustard yellow, grey, cobalt, pink, red. Seriously I dare you to find some random Crayola shade it doesn’t mesh with.

(For budget friendly options, you can shop two killer Tory Burch bags here and here as well as ones from Rebecca Minkoff and Michael Kors)

I love this edgy and fun bag with this simple grey and lace top, which just so happens to only be $12.99!! The lace trim detail is oh so darling and I love that it has 3/4 length sleeves! There is so much that can be done with this top, I really can’t wait to style it in other ways this season. It could totally be dressed down with leggings, riding boots, and a vest, or black wax pants, heels, and a statement necklace.

 

 

 

My jeans are also super affordable and an all time favorite pair of mine! They’re advertised as a skinny fit but I think they are more boyfriend style, they definitely are a bit more relaxed and roomy than some of my other jeans.

Also these Madewell booties are seriously the best!! So, so comfortable and the perfect heel height. Pretty sure Madewell comes out with the same pair every year so you know they’re a keeper.

Xo,
