The Coveted

July 11, 2017 by jessica 4 Comments

I can’t believe it’s been a month since I’ve last published an edition of “The Coveted” and it’s such a shame because it’s one of my favorite posts to work on. Things have just been so hectic with the house lately that I barely have time to sleep, let alone work on the blog or even browse stores for summer clothes! I’m happy to report that I have plenty of summer dresses to get me through the rest of the season (even if I just ordered this dress to try, along with this top and pair of shorts), so I’m turning my attention to pre-fall favorites. While I’m not looking forward to cooler weather, I’m starting my wish list early so that I can start saving and picking the pieces that are both versatile and statement-making. Topping my must-have list is this ’70s-inspired beaded wooden bag. I’m trying to stay away from purchasing items that are basically reinterpretations of things I already own and this beauty is just the type of item I’m looking for.

Jump Around

I bought this deeply discounted jumpsuit at Anthropologie in November and it sat in the closet with the tags still attached until it was finally warm enough to wear it last weekend. Bathroom acrobatics aside, it was such a fun, eye-catching piece to wear! Plus, it was a practical choice for a windy day because I didn’t have to wrestle with a hemline threatening to cause what I call a “Marilyn moment.” 😉 Next time, though, I’ll style it differently with these statement earrings, pearl sandals (in this post) and a black DVF clutch (seen here).

The Best Woven Bags Under $100

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know that this summer’s “It” bag is a vintage-inspired woven one and, as is the case with many trends, these often come with an inflated price tag. Fortunately, there are plenty of on-trend, affordable bags to get your hands on this season. (After I put together this collage, I actually came across my favorite affordable woven bag: Caterina Bertini’s mini bucket bag. It’s lined with a drawstring pouch, has a leather handle, and comes in four colors.)
