[unpaid/affiliate/ad] We are – at last – scheduled some sunshine! I really haven’t done much summer wardrobe buying this year mainly because my WFH status doesn’t require anything fancy. My favorite outfit has been jeans and a white or pink linen top (both from H&M and I dyed the pink one myself) that I’ve just jazzed up with a less boring bag or two. I’ve got a couple of yellow bags and a neon pink one and they’ve been my go-to options. It’s such a good way to brighten up anything you’re wearing, especially if you’ve been sticking to basics like me. So, based on the basics, I’ve done a quick roundup of bags to elevate and summerize the go-anywhere linen tops and jeans combo.

This PVC (or similar – as Ted Baker describes it, a ‘wipe-down’ material) is vibrant and durable. Grab it for £17 HERE, reduced from £32, a steal for a bag that can handle rain, water spills, and sanitizer leaks.

If you’re looking for a more enduring option, Kate Spade offers great deals. The Loop Large shoulder bag is now priced at £209, down from £350 HERE. It comes in various bright shades, neutrals, and is worth the investment, although pricier than the others.

I’m suddenly wishing I had this neutral bag myself – it’s currently sold out at HUSH but available at John Lewis for £40, reduced from £65 HERE.
If you can’t wait any longer, Amazon has a well-priced option at £19.99 HERE, and if you have prime, it can be at your doorstep within 24 hours.
