Excited to share this post with y’all today! This may be one of my favorite outfits as of late. Quite frankly, it’s such a favorite that I’ve been a repeat outfit offender multiple times. Even more fun, I’m chatting one of my favorites, the basket bag trend! I’ve teamed up with a few other bloggers (you can check them out below) to share our stylistic take on this super popular trend.

You may remember last week my monogramed french market tote made its blog debut in this post. The basket bag trend has picked up full force within the last few months. Although I have to say, I feel like I’ve seen this trend go big the last two summers or so.

As I mentioned previously, I love my for its versatility. I know it’s going to come in handy this summer, plus every time I carry it I receive so many compliments! Besides the tote bag, there’s also some cute options for smaller purses, like this cute or this cutie .

On a side note, if you’re in the market for a new striped tee, I highly recommend this . It’s my new favorite. I’ve worn it maybe 5 times in the last week-and-a-half. It’s a great weight and a little bit of a looser fit. Pairs well with jeans or as we move into summer. Straw basket bag trend | styling the straw bag for summerToday I’ve teamed up with four other bloggers to share our different takes on the straw and/or basket bag trend. I’d love for you to take a few minutes and peruse their posts! Who knew there were so many fun and effortless ways to style the basket bag trend for summer? Mouse on over to How 2 Wear It, Louella Reese, The Fashionista Momma and The Samantha Show and give their straw/basket bags and clutches some love!

Have you hopped on this trend yet? Would love to know what you think about the style below in the comments! xx

    Obsessed with this outfit! And love the bag! While I normally wouldn’t go for one so large, I actually really like it. I manage to fill up my purse regardless of the size though, so I would have to check myslef haha.
