street style: red hot

(jacket: anthropologie (similar) | top: GAP | skirt (actually a dress): Vince | pumps: UO (similar) | bag: c/o Banana Republic | necklace: Forever 21) 
When it comes to fashion week it seems every street style photo features awesome, yet tiny clutches. I've always been a girl that seems to schlep the entire kitchen sink with her (need super glue? I've got it.) So my solution typically looks something like the above - a great cross-body bag in a bright punchy color.

I love the tomato red of this Banana Republic number, plus it's actually roomy so if I wanted to bring my 5 lb. wallet with me, I could! And when I'm not feeling a ton of color in my actual clothing then I like to accessorize with a little sparkle and one main attraction, in this case the bag.. and maybe the bright lip!

Love the red purse! It reminds me of the J. Crew Edie bag, except it's got a great side strap. I'm like you, I always like everything in tow with me!
