Autumn is here and it’s time for a wardrobe update. Besides basic pieces I choose to invest in a couple of statement coats and accessories; usually a handbag or two that I would basically rotate with my outfits every season.
When it comes to handbags its either satchels or cross body bags for me at the moment, I have enough totes and I’m more inclined towards the ease and flexibility of a cross body and the ladylike feel of a structured satchel. I styled two looks with two Michael Kors bags from the latest Fall/Winter collection.
The first bag I chose is this Gramercy Frame Satchel which has been updated for the season in this gorgeous grey polished leather exterior. I love how compact it is, to fit your most important essentials and really appreciated the fact that it came with a removable shoulder strap that also allows me to wear it as a cross body which makes it ideal for a morning brunch or an evening out sans strap. This is definitely a piece to invest in this season, the style is timeless and the color is easy to wear and goes with almost anything. I chose to style it with a very ladylike dress to give it a classic look and feel but it also goes perfectly with a pair of jeans and a white tee.
For my second bag, I chose this beautiful burgundy Sloan Shoulder bag with a pyramid quilt leather exterior and a gold adjustable chain strap. This color is a huge hit this season and it will also go with almost anything.
I chose to style it with a oversized basic boxy white shirt and a simple pair of jeans, exactly how I would wear it for a day full of meetings. It makes a statement, and has a sufficient space for your wallet, some makeup, phone and even a pair of sunnies. I cant wait to dress this up for a dinner and wear it down with a pair of black or white sneakers.
I hope you enjoyed these two looks and drop me a message to let me know your favorite piece from Michael Kors this season.
