Every now and then I post an outfit featuring only 5 pieces. 1 outfit . . . 5 pieces . . . that’s all you need to make an amazing fashionable outfit. I like to keep it simple so 5 pieces is all you need. Today’s 5 pieces is the first of 2016 so it’s special, ya’ll. Super special . . .

Mostly this round of 5 pieces is super special because it features my new madewell bag that I showed you last week. I just really love that bag especially how it features the cognac/tan handles and straps to accent the black. It adds the perfect amount of flair to take it up a notch from just a black leather bag. The outfit from last week featured the bag in a more casual look with a black rain jacket and my hunter boots. Today’s look dresses it up a bit making it perfect for work, a date after work, dinner with the girls, or even church. Usually, I’d grab a smaller bag for all most of those activities, but with a bag this awesome, why?! Sometimes making life easy is better than changing bags to match your outfit – and that’s a sentence I never thought I’d say #baglady.

Have a great weekend friends!
