How to Accessorize any Summer Outfit
If you are wondering what accessories you should pick up this summer that will go with EVERY outfit – wonder no more! I’ve found the perfect pieces that are affordable AND versatile.
The first is a straw basket bag (or really, any woven bag). A straw bag just screams SUMMER, amiright?! It reminds me of picnics and vacations to tropical destinations. Plus, the natural color of the straw/rattan/raffia/wicker means that it will go with any outfit. I picked up this one because I’m obsessing over French style right now and all the French girls seem to be carrying these basket bags. It’s often called a Jane Birkin Basket because the actress made it famous back in the 70’s. I chose a similar, but slightly different, style with a drawstring liner because I felt the contents would be a little more secure that way.
Shop Basket Bags:
The next must have item for summer is a coin pendant necklace. I’ve always been a fan of simple gold jewelry and the “coin” element gives it a cool vintage vibe. You can literally wear this type of necklace with any outfit. I’m wearing mine with a more casual outfit today but if you remember my last post, I was wearing a wrap dress with a similar pendant necklace. I picked this Cloverpost necklace up during the Shopbop sale and sadly, it’s sold out now. But there are a lot of coin pendant necklace options – especially on etsy.
Shop Coin Necklaces:
Like I said, the basket bag and the pendant necklace are so versatile and can go with any outfit. Recently, I wore a similar woven bag and pendant necklace with a wrap dress. And for this look, I dressed it down with a pair of sneakers.
I have to mention my pants and top for a quick second. These gingham pants are fun, comfy and affordable at under $30! I don’t usually go for printed pants but gingham is such a cute print for spring/summer and I couldn’t resist. I picked up this summer knit in light yellow because I feel like this color is the perfect compliment to the black and white gingham.

Yellow is definitely the color of the season, such a happy and refreshing color. Also, you can’t go wrong with gingham. It’s such a beautiful classic. These two definitely makes a gorgeous combo, and you’re absolutely rocking it dear!

It’s hard not to love the basket bag! Of course I’ve already got my round straw bag, the ark bag, and plenty of straw totes, but I might as well be tempted by another, haha.
The gingham pants are adorable, what a fun summer print!
