As Spring turns to Summer and temperatures start to sore, there's nothing more exhilarating than the first time we get to bare our (albeit, sometimes pasty) legs for all to see.
It seems we are in a transitional period of fashion; one where anything goes, especially when it comes to our hemlines! Is it mini's, midi's or maxi's that we're suppose to be wearing right now? The answer-Whatever you want!
No matter which fabric direction you go in, let's keep it all proportional when it comes to a girl's second best friend - her handbag of course!
I love pairing a mini with a slouchy hobo, tote bag or oversized satchel. The whole shrinking ensemble look is never in. A big bag gives this sexy skirt an effortless fashion element.

Midi's, or a-line skirts, which are knee-length, or just above or below, are great with cylindrical or bowling bag styles, think Louis Vuitton's iconic Speedy bag.

When living loose in a maxi, go for a smaller shoulder bag or my favourite for the season, a fabulous cross-body, or take a cue from Ashley Olsen and pair it with a small handbag. A smaller bag evens out the look and doesn't weigh you down.

This summer, when you're not sure which purse will complete your stellar outfit, just remember opposites attract!
