Dress to match my new tote

I am so excited to use my new J. Crew Tillary tote in canvas. Most of my other bags are neutral-colored, beige, brown, black, grey. I do have a shocking pink bag which I love from years ago. Now with this multi-colored tote, I need to think of ways to dress in order to match it.


Trying to keep my outfit simple so it won't be too overwhelming.

I am playing it safe by keeping it to mostly navy.

    This outfit is simple but really lovely, kind of like a sailor chic look! I just found your blog on the blog hop :]

      before I was skeptical of mixing patterns, thinking it may be too " crowded". But now I think I can mix them moderately. Thanks!

    Stripes & Polka dots!! Fun!... You could even throw on a cute red necklace to bring in the red. :)

      that's a good idea to throw in a red necklace. I have one red necklace but that is too bold for this look. Will have to look for one which is more subtle. Thanks for the suggestion!

      I'm obsessed with stripes and dots and they are everywhere this spring, finding it sooooooo hard not to grab anything when I go shopping.

      Thanks for dropping by :)

      yes, I have been carrying it daily since I got it. I like it as it is big and roomy and not heavy to carry, unlike my other leather totes. Love it!
