Wednesday Q&A: N+S of Stuff Under Twenty Take II

N+S are back this week to give us some insight on styling in a statement piece. Here, they focus on the ever elusive blue handbag. Best friends and co-founders of the fantastically frugal website, Stuff Under Twenty, these ladies know their stuff, so listen closely.

When we first got the Addison bowler bag, we relegated it to the awesome!-but-not-so-much-for-every-day corner of the closet (there’s a big pile there!). However, as time passed, we were surprised how frequently we reached passed the supposed dailywear bags to the bright blue of the Addison again! It’s definitely a statement piece, but its distinctly classic shape makes it just conservative enough to blend in with any outfit. Here are some of our favorite ways to wear it, and in keeping with the mission statement of our blog Stuff Under Twenty, each item is twenty bucks or less!

…………………………………………………………………….

Outfit One: Super Casual

Everyone has those days they automatically reach for the gray in their closet (right? not just us?). There’s something comforting about slipping into shades of neutral on those Mondays and Wednesdays and sometimes those rainy Saturdays. Here’s an outfit for you to dress gray but look bright! Pair skinny cords (Delias.com, $19.99) with an adorable striped sweater (AE.com, $19.95) over a plain black long-sleeve tee (OldNavy.com, $12). Throw on a fun pair of earrings (OldNavy.com, $8.50), grab your bowler bag, and go.

Outfit Two: Ultra Glam

After a bunch of those Mondays and Wednesday and Saturdays, you’re gonna be itching to go glamorous (at least we are). Here’s an outfit for one of those days when you can pull off anything. A fantastic dress (VictoriasSecret.com, $19.99) cinched with a big belt (Forever21.com, $7.80) and paired with amazing tights (Forever21.com, $5.80) should do it. Go overboard by adding a bib necklace (CharlotteRusse.com, $15.50). Don’t forget your bag!

Outfit Three: Business Casual

And there are the betweens, right? The ones that most days end up being? Go with simple colors and soft fabrics. A pair of cozy flared brown pants (NYandCompany.com, $19.97) and a white rib knit sweater (Gap.com, $17.99) is a sure bet. Add a funky pair of sunglasses (Alloy.com, $5.99) and your bag and you look like you spent a heck of a lot more time putting yourself together than you actually did!

Hope you’ve been inspired, one way or another. Visit us at Stuff Under Twenty for more affordable goodies!
