I absolutely love this cobalt blue cross-body bag I got during the amazing 50% off sale Piperlime had back after New Years. The other cross-body I use coincidentally enough, is also by Danielle Nicole! They have super cute, yet very affordable purses and bags for everyday or evening. 

The bonus is that I can remove the long strap to make it just a hand-held purse. It fits everything I need in a chic compact size that isn't too bulky. 

I paired this pop of color with my go-to comfy lace dress and these low-key polka-dot heels. I wore this outfit for a personal styling client meeting. Lately I have made the conscious decision to utilize my wardrobe fully whenever I go out, even if it is just to meet with someone for 30 minutes. I have felt so much more awake and motivated to get things done, when I feel polished and put-together. I just have to keep this up and not only reach for my usual pieces, like jeans and a tee, unless I had some awesome heels and statement jewelry with it! 

How do you utilize your whole wardrobe?!
