The Power Of Red + WIW Simple Sunday Style

Leather Crescent Cross Body Bag

Morning ladies today I want to talk about the power of red.  You probably know by now that I rarely wear that much colour in my clothes but you may have noticed that when I do wear colour a lot is in my accessories - namely my red cross body bag & red ballet pumps.  For me they're perfect for mixing with all my neutrals & adding a real pop of colour that can make the simplest of looks come to life.  

So with this in mind today I wanted to share my top picks of red bags & shoes for all occasions that would soon earn their place on a cost per wear basis.

Starting with the simple & ever so useful cross body bag.  An item that if you don't already own in red, if you do 'click the button' you'll wonder how you ever managed without one.  Wear with any neutrals, not to mention leopard print or camouflage & it really will help elevate your look.

Needless to say there's lots of styles to choose from, starting with the above simple classic version.

Ashmore Cross Body Bag

To something with a little bit more detail - red & stud detailing what's not to love?!

Zip Pouchette Bag

Or something that has a little detailing with the tassels & a great price.

Dorolora Cross Body Bag

To a quilted version, with a couple of choices to suit different budgets.

Payton Small Cross Body

To a couple of suede versions that would be perfect for a special occasion or to wear on a night out.

Moving away from flats & onto summer shoes & these timeless espadrille wedges are perfect for teaming with many a pretty summer dress.
