Spring and Summer Purses and Totes
I thought it would be fun to highlight some of the purses that I like to wear in spring and summer. I like to rotate them every couple of weeks as I have a lot of totes and purses that are cute for the warm months. In the winter and fall, I tend to wear a purse for about a month before I alternate it. Here are some recent thrifted finds followed by a couple favorites that I have had a little longer and were not thrifted.
Thrifted Fringe Purse
What a fun find! The bag is a loose macrame and is very well made. I got it for just a few dollars and it has been fun to alternate in into my purse rotation. It definitely adds interest to a simple outfit.
Textured Purse
I think I picked this little purse last year: the texture was very summery and the purse is a great size for holding all the necessity with being too small nor too big.
Thrifted Clutch
I loved the big handle and the oversized tassel on this clutch. It is really soft and cost only$2.50. What a deal and a nice neutral bag! It’s large enough for a wallet, phone and other needed items and casual enough for every day.
Thrifted Lemon Clutch
This is a little bag I got in Arizona when my friend Cathie decided not to purchase it. I love the cute whimsical shape and while it is not my most practical purse, it is really fun for summer.
Thrifted Straw Tote
I just couldn’t pass this tote when I saw it in my local thrift store. Did I need another tote? Of course not, but I sure am glad I got it!
Spanish Basket Tote
This one is special because I bought it on vacation in 2019. I came back from our trip to France and Spain with several totes and will probably buy a new one if we do go to Spain next year. I love it for outings when I want to carry more things!
I did buy a crossbody from TJMaxx at the end of April as I started looking for things in the caramel tones for summer and fall. I love how soft it is and how it will work year round. I am loving neutrals a lot and I had nothing in that color.

These are all so cute and perfect for summer. You’ve just reminded me to break out my straw bag too.

They are fun to rotate in for sure!

It’s nice to have a fun selection like this…especially when you get such deals on the. Besides, I find they do wear out over time. I just had some straw handles break and even some leather ones are ripping.

Yes! Finding them second hand makes me feel less guilty about having a collection of them!

Handbags used to be my weakness (now it’s shoes) but I’m starting to rethink that. All of these bags are super cute! I love the clutch with the big handle, lemon clutch and straw tote!

I am noticing I am wearing more of the same shoes… I don’t buy many anymore.

You’re making me think that I need to do some thinking about what I’m carrying around this summer.

It is pretty fun and summery to have at least one straw totes! Just gives the day and outfit some summer vibes!

I love that clutch. It’s such an unusual shape. I’m on the lookout for the perfect straw/raffia purse. I don’t know what it is, but I’ll know it when I find it!
