I snapped these photos as I left for church on Sunday. I can't help but love this outfit. These colors (seafoam + mustard + turquoise) make me sooo happy, and every piece in this outfit is a favorite of mine. I'm also pretty stoked about my new purse. Purse are a big purchase for me (I usually only buy 1-2 a year), and I've been looking for one for a few months now. It's a light brown, buttery soft leather bag with gold hardware I found on clearance last week at TJ Maxx. I needed something simple to wear with loud outfits and it was love at first sight. What is your purse buying strategy? Do you go bold or simple? How many do you usually buy a year?
