COLORS OF A FLAG

Walking to a craft fair downtown last week, I had to stop and take a photo here with these flowers. I thought the blooms and red chairs went well with my blue and white ensemble. It’s a quick outfit built around the top - I added the navy cardigan in case it got chilly later, and the jeans and natural leather accessories are my go-to pieces lately.

FREE YOUR HANDS

I always love a backpack because it allows me to carry all of the other stuff I need to bring in my free hands! Also, it distributes the weight of wallet, phone, glasses, etc. more evenly – if worn correctly, of course. 

So I immediately fell in love with the simple great shape of this bag while strolling around our local Firefly handmade market last weekend. Plus, I can adjust the strap length. (This is important for me because many backpacks just land on my butt, being on the shorter side.) Maybe you saw the preview on Instagram yesterday, but if not, check out @mae_pelle and her gorgeous selection of handmade leather bags.
