Adding Personality to Your Purse

The idea of accessorizing your accessories may seem like overkill, but it turns out to be really fun and a great way to set your bag apart from the rest with your own signature style. Over the last few years I've collected some scarves or "twillys" (this is just a weird word Hermes came up with to describe their thin scarves) and bag charms. I don't often add these accoutrement to my handbag, but I will have to say that it's getting more and more addictive. Especially this little fur pom pom I picked up from Etsy. It seems to go with so many of my bags and it always makes me smile when I wear it. The only down side? My dog William is obsessed with it! My fear is that it might go from being a bag accessory to a dog chew toy in the blink of an eye!

  6. I don't have any purse charms but the idea does sound really fun! I would like to add something I can hook my keys on so that they don't keep getting lost in the abyss of my huge purse! Love this look, especially that gorgeous, colorful skirt!

  11. I keep going back and forth about these purse charms but you are definitely convincing me I need one...especially since I'm such a monochrome gal and most of my purses are black or gray! Love your hair styled like this, you look gorgeous Katie! Hope you're having a great week so far! XO -Kim

  13. Fascinating stuff about bag embellishments. Clicked on your photo through Style Nudge as I recognised that skirt - I found one of these in my local charity shop and my daughter snaffled it - such brilliant, vibrant colours. Lovely styling x
