A White & Black Affair

Hair down, purse out for look #1

This outfit almost looks as if it's a sassy white cropped top paired with a skirt, but it's actually an all-in-one colorblock dress for a an easy summer night out on the town. The side cut-outs make for a little playfulness without overdoing a full skin-reveal made by a cropped top. Sometimes it's a little risqué to get a dress with cut-outs, but showing a little skin never hurt anyone. The medium-sized striped handbag is made by a funky designer fav, Betsey Johnson, but resembles Kate Spade as my friend Annie pointed out. :) The centered subtle bow and cute trim make the purse pop with detailed class- far cuter than just stripes on a bag.

Lose the bag and put the hair up for a simple, classier feel!

Simple Striped Love.

I can't express how much I love this handbag! You can't see it now, but it has the longer strap tucked in for an over the shoulder option. It's bigger than most bags I own, but it was too darn cute to say no to. Plus, you can't go wrong with a black and white combo purse since it goes with pretty much any outfit. The price you ask? Only $40.00 at TJ MAXX. What a good deal, for real.

Sometimes it's fun to switch up your purse routine so you have options with your daily outfits. Once in a while, treat yourself and don't be afraid of the price as many designer bags are sold for much less than their websites list! Get inspired: One of my fav sites to scroll through is ShopStyle.

Stay Classy everyone!   xoxo - Lindsey
