I’m in flats 90% of the time…

but dressed up a casual look with fringe heels & this cross-body Coach bag

I love cross body bags.  They’re practical, hands free and can dress up any look.

This COACH “Swagger” bag is wearable with almost any look!

When investing in a new handbag it’s important to ask yourself 

A. Is the size practical for my lifestyle?  3 years ago I would not have been able to carry a small cross body like this.  Hello diaper bag!  And now carrying a huge heavy tote bag is not practical since we’re almost out of the stroller phase to hang it on.

B. Is the functionally user friendly?  Can you grab your cell phone easily?  Is there a pocket for your credit cards?  This bag has a cool zip top feature that allows you to unbutton and unzip the zipper all the way for easy access.

C. Color!!  Is this a color that will work with more than 60% of your wardrobe?  I’m drawn to neutrals and when investing in a handbag I usually skip the unique pop of color for a more user friendly shade.

This handbag has foldable handles so you can grab it like this…

…or fold them down while wearing it cross body.

Even though this cross body bag is on the smaller size…it will fit more than you think.

Cell phone (iPhone 6plus), keys, credit cards, compact, lipgloss, antibacterial gel and even a pack of gum!

I also love packing this bag for travel.

Fits easily in the suitcase…and coordinates with every outfit I pack!

 My normal working hours are when the kids are in school and after they go to bed.

 (which means my night-night time is way too late!)

Working from home has its perks…but I will say it can be challenging at times if you get easily distracted.

THATS ME!

When I can…heading to a local coffee shop helps me stay focused.

I basically have to run away from the laundry, dirty dishes and closet organizing to get anything done.

If you have any discipline tips or questions you want answers too….please send them to aylin@stylinbyaylin.com

Would love to feature your suggestions/questions in my upcoming video to help others on this topic!
