If I Were a Handbag…February’s Style Not Age

When Anna announced the title of this month’s theme I was left scratching my head! (I’m not referring to nits btw). The rather enigmatic prompt of “If I Were a Handbag” is not the easiest one to interpret – well, not for me anyway. However, after some thought I decided to take colour inspiration from my Angel Jackson bag. I’ve previously worn it with these jeans and this jacket (almost four years ago to the day!). But this time I swapped the roll neck jumper for this fabulous Soul Sisters T-shirt. I love the gold lip motif, and the red writing picks out the red in the bag.

I’ve highlighted the other colours in the bag with my jacket, sunglasses and jewellery. I found the yellow heart bracelet in a charity shop a few years ago. It’s by Les Néréides – one of my favourite jewellery brands. It has the colours of the French flag on a bead on the inside, which you’ll see further down. The bag was a splurge purchase almost ten years ago. I think it was only stocked by one retailer based in the U.S but I wanted it so badly that I decided to treat myself. I’m typically not one for expensive handbags, but this one was an exception. At the time, pop art was enjoying a revival and the design of this bag reflects that. I bought this pop art top around the same time but Isobel has laid claim to it now!

Let’s see my stylish friends’ take on the “If I Were a Handbag” theme…
