This BAGGU tote comes in a handful of colors — but only one matters to us. The yellow one ($32, Urban Outfitters) is giving us life. It's bright and cheery for the spring and summer, is a definite fall (leaves) color, and then adds some happiness to the dismal winter months.
Haya Hobo Snake Bag ($55, Topshop)
Net Bag ($29.99, Papaya)
Navy Shoulder Bag ($59, ModCloth)
Striped Weekender Bag ($39.99, Target)

Scuba Shopper ($35, ASOS)
On Wednesdays (and every other day) we wear pink. Especially if it's this scuba shopper that is reversible. Yup, turn it gray with one swift motion, pop in your laptop, and be on your way ($35, ASOS).
