My trusty Kate Spade work bag has gone everywhere with me. My dad bought it for me when I was in law school and now it holds all my goodies and court files. Ordinarily, I would have worn a handbag that perfectly matched this outfit but I don't always perfectly match when going to work. This bag is so functional that I don't even think about whether or not it "matches" that day or not. I call it my Mary Poppins bag but I'm constantly reminding my husband that it isn't a backpack as he hands me tons of papers and crap to stuff in my bag for him. Maybe I should get him a man bag? Hmmm... :-) If I'm a little slow answering emails/comments please accept my apologies. I have big things going on at work but will be back to my old self after Wednesday!

I think the bag adds a nice contrast:)! Love the yellow sweater and polka dot skirt! Great look Maria!
ReplyDeleteI am often way too lazy to switch my purse. I do have a work bag that never changes. It's a black Coach diaper bag that I love.
ReplyDeleteLove your yellow sweater!

I love yellow- it's my favorite color! So jealous of that bag, it's such a perfect "everyday" bag.

Love the skirt! I have been eying a Kate Spade bag at TJ Maxx for probably a month. I FINALLY told myself I couldn't live without it and it was gone. :( I always love a nude shoe!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a classic bag, it goes with everything. What a gret piece to have and hold on to too.
ReplyDeletelove the yellow! xO!

Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI can attest to that! I think every lady has that one bag that fits everything, but doesn't exactly go with everything!
I adore your outfit, polka dots are my favorite print and these are wonderful!
Great blog!

Love the bright sweater!
ReplyDeleteThat yellow is so gorgeous on you! I love this outfit. I carry the same bag to work with me everyday. I cannot be changing it each day. I'll just switch out my purses to go with my outfit, if I go somewhere after work.

Hi there Maria. My name is Ada, very nice to meet you. I just found your blog yesterday and have been reading along the way till I got here. I must say for an attorney you have beautiful, elegant, colorful, chic style. Today I love the polka-dotted skirt paired with the bright yellow sweater. Yellow is definitely a color that looks great on you. And you cannot go wrong with pearls and nude pumps, either. By the way The Limited & Loft are two of my most favorite stores and I love their sales, too.
ReplyDeleteSo hopefully you will stop by my blog, check out my style and follow me as well. I appreciate meeting new, fun, stylish bloggers through blogging and having their support as I support them as well. Thanks a lot, Ada. =)

Hey, it's good to see your gorgeous peepers!! Don't you love how a classic bag can stand the test of time? Good bags and polka dots... :)

I absolutely love this yellow on you, brightens up everything and flatters your skin and hair tone. AND I must admit you look so much prettier without sunnies as you have beautiful eyes. I dont know why all bloggers where those sunnies all the time!
