The winner of this giveaway is…Elissa! Please email me to claim your prize. Congrats!

To culminate my series of giveaways, Ann Taylor provided this chic little Leather and Straw Lady Bag (currently 40% off) for one of you. I love the summer straw with leather, chains, and a turn-lock closure.
You guys know I’m a huge fan of crossbody bags for hands-free eating, shopping, and errand-running. Just like my Wallet on Chain from this post, the strap on this bag can be worn a number of ways. For dressier occasions, I’d double up the straps and wear it with bright colors and a blazer. For weekends, I’d wear this with a pretty tee, trouser shorts, and flat sandals.
Top: Dress (BR), Blazer (Theory), Wedges (buy here). Below: Tee (LOFT), Shorts (H&M;), Ring (buy here)

LOVE LOVE LOVE the second outfit with this purse!!!!
Wow – some great giveaways lately! Would love to be entered to win the purse!
Also, I have a question. When going to an amusement park to ride water rides and roller coasters, everyone is wearing jean shorts and tanks or t-shirts. But, like you showed in "How To Look Older in Casual Clothing" (which I loved btw!), when I wear these so as to not be over-dressed or ruin good clothes, it knocks down my age a few years, and I look young for my age already. However, the outfits featured in that article would make me afraid of them being ruined while riding roller coasters and/or getting soaked. Are there ways to make a very casual outfit such as jean shorts and tank not take your age down some notches? (or am I just grasping at straws here, heh). Thanks so much if you could add your 2-cents! 🙂
Cute purse! I'd like to enter the giveaway. I love your blog, keep up the great work!
I too love cross-body bags. After years of lugging around a large purse for work/school, it's nice to grab a small bag when you're on the go. 🙂 Count me in as well!
I would love to enter!
