Must-Have Monogram Tote Bag

Hello, monogram tote bag of my dreams! Soft leather, the perfect cognac color, the cutest monogram option and of course my must-have staple…a detachable shoulder strap! Madewell, you’ve done it again and I am so happy you did. 😉

Not too big, not too small, this one is just right. 😉 Madewell came out with a perfect in-between “medium” transport tote in 5 color options (burgundy, black, tan, pink, olive) and I am LOVING it! Add a little flair with a cute bandana scarf tied around the handle…(these scarves are only $12 and pretty much like candy to me, ha!).

Taking your summer wardrobe into fall means switching up those bright colors for earthy, neutral tones. I’m a sucker for that pretty mauve color, especially paired with tan accessories and white denim. These jeans are my FAVORITE white pair I own, they’re super flattering and it’s nice to have a pair without any distressing! They run a bit big (my mom, sister and I all got a pair and each of us sized down), so order a size smaller than your usual.

This is the cutest top to wear now and later – just layer under a green utility jacket once cooler fall temps set in! I’m wearing size XS for reference and it comes in a cream/striped option, too!

Hope your week is off to a great start! XOXO
