Summer Bags Under $200

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11

 I never feel like I can have too many bags, but summer is the season that proves to me the most, how right I am. I need big totes for the pool, travel, clutches for weddings, something colorful,  a cross-body for traveling abroad, the list never ends. I have round up several of my favorite bags for the summer and they are all under $200, several are under $100. Shop them above by clicking on the corresponding number or bellow in the widget.

What's In My Bag {spring break}

Spring break is finally here, I feel like I have been counting down the days since we returned to school haha. I personally love packing, its the unpacking that I seem to put off (for weeks). I honestly did not go anywhere special for spring break this year, I stayed in my apartment and worked some. Wednesday was Matt and my three year anniversary, which was very exciting to celebrate, our anniversary always seems to fall during spring break, I think we planed that pretty well :) I also went home and spent a few days with my family in Raleigh, it's always nice to catch up. 

Above are some of my spring break essentials: Tote bag (longchamp) I use this bag all.the.time. for vacations, for class, and at the race track // Sandals (Jack Rogers) I also am eying these Jacks because I feel they would be great for the pool/beach because they are plastic, and there a great price. Swimsuits, I don't know about you, but shopping for/trying on swimsuits is literally about my least favorite thing to do, period. I am a one piece kinda gal usually, I love this Kate Spade bow one it is just too adorable. Finally time to break out those shorts(and shave those legs ladies) my go to are my Lilly Pulitzer scallop buttercup short. Starbucks is a need of course, it isn't a vacation until you break out the gold card :) I have linked many of my favorite items for spring break bellow, so take a look. Happy spring break ladies may your days be warm and full of sunshine, and your burns quickly turn into flawless tans!!

Obsessed would be an understatement with my new Dagne Dover bag. If you are looking for a classic, high quality bag that has a place for anything and everything to help keep you organized, look no further. Dagne Dover sells three different size bags to help keep all of your goodies organized. TheTote, their largest bag has plenty of space for your laptop, tablet, water bottle, pens, and really anything else you could try to fit in there. In my post I am carrying the Mini Tote, which is great to hold your tablet, pens, notes, sunglasses, water bottle, and so much more. I love bringing mine with me to class; it’s much cuter than carrying around a backpack. I also like how the bag comes with a long strap for days when you’re wearing a big coat. One of my favorite features of the bag is the water bottle. It is made of a water-resistant material that protects everything in your bag in case of a spill. It even snaps in so you can detach it if you don't need it or it needs to be cleaned. Dagne Dover’s smallest bag is the Tiny Tote, which is a great small bag for running around town and comes in lots of great colors. Dagne Dover was nicest enough to offer 10% off to my first 20 readers who order a bag with code “StylishSassyClassy” AND they are also donating 10% of your order to a charity of your choice, so you are shopping for a great cause!!

I love a good bow, clearly. I got this dress on clearance at Banana Republic over the weekend and then decided to put one of my older sleeveless bow tops under it. The bow tights and heels are really just the "bow" on top of the outfit, pun intended. What is one of your favorite bow pieces in your wardrobe?

While it Rains, I Shop

Sadly it was a rainy day at the beach so we decided to go into Charleston and catch up on some much needed shopping. 

Here is one if the cutest skirts I have seen in a while from H&M for only $15 !! It is hot pink and a great length just a few inches above the knee. It is supper full and fun to wear the pleats stay put well because the fabric is a heavy enough weight. I would definitely recommend. You can buy  here and in black here.
 
I also got this skirt from J.Crew it is a bit more pastel lime yellow then it looks in the picture. I absolutely love it once again a great length just a few inches above the knee and a great color for summer. You can buy it here I would recommend looking in store it was marked down in the clearance section and a addition 40% off of that so I only paid $35 for it.
 
 
At the J.Crew outlet I found the perfect bracelet to go with my skirt.  I am currently on a mission to expand my accessories collection I feel I need a larger variety to add more depth to my outfits. You can buy it here it is also a better deal in store all of their jewelry was 50% off and then an addition 15% if you are a student. I would definitely recommend checking out their entire jewelry collection I had a hard time not letting myself buy several pieces. 

This is the other piece of jewelry I got from the J.Crew outlet that I am in love with first off I am obsessed with tortoise shell and this necklace is a great length it kind of hits mid chest I have a lot of shorter and longer statement necklaces but this one will add something new to my collection. They do not have this exact necklace on their website but they have one very similar that I also like a lot here.

I am always on the lookout for a great deal on a bag and I ran across this one in the clearance section at Off Saks Fifth. It is a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag that is perfect for the summer and the beach.  It was a steal at only $70. I had been eyeing some of the Kate Spade straw bags she put out this summer here, here, and these are now on sale here, here, and here.

This adorable Kate Spade poncho I sadly did not buy because it is $100 but I do love it. It even folds up into the bow for easy storage in your bag. You can buy it here, I would recommend but not for the price.
