When it comes to fashion and your own personal style, it’s all about making a statement. Sometimes the best way to make a statement is with loud, fun accessories. I typically do this with a statement necklace (because it simply does what you want it to… its in the name after all), but there is nothing better than making your outfit complete with a handbag. Statement handbags, such as this beautiful rustic rose sequin bag, deserve the spotlight in your outfit. Opting for neutral colors or simple structured pieces will help the bag pop and give you a clean look.
When using this handbag for the first time, I went for my new white lace dress (seen in my budget post here and YouTube video here) and of course had to balance out the feminine details of the lace on the dress and sequins on the bag with a leather jacket, black booties and a spiked bracelet. Mixing feminine and edgy pieces together is one of my all-time favorite styles because it always looks so effortlessly chic. Do you own a statement handbag? What do you wear yours with?

November 2, 2012 at 9:55 AMThat is definitely a statement handbag!! I have a couple of bags I would consider to be statement pieces, worn when I need a touch of something special for an outfit for going out.
I love the bag though, super cute!
