This week I’m talking all about poms! Not the pom-poms cheerleader shake around after a team scores a touchdown, but the fashion-y poms that add a little extra pizzazz to an outfit. In the summertime, a pom-pom is the perfect addition to a beach sarong or a summer bag.
This LOFT Pom Pom Staw Crossbody Bag is currently on rotation in my closet. I love the gold chain and it 100% screams summer. There are two things that I love about this bag.
First off, I really like is that the gold chain is thick. To me, that’s the sign of a well made item. The bag isn’t flimsy and it wont fall off if I put it on the back of a chair on a patio. Similarly, the base of the bag is light and doesn’t weigh heavy across my shoulders.
Secondly, I like the bag size. I am all about using an over-sized bag if you are headed to the beach or going on a big outing, but during the summer months I don’t want to lug around everything under the sun in a large tote. The Pom bag is an ideal size. It comfortably fits a small glasses case (and an inhaler if you fall into the super nerd category like me), a key chain sized wallet, and some chap-stick or a small tube of makeup or sunscreen.
I paired the pom bag with the Steve Madden Travel Tan sandals and Raw Hem Crop Straight Leg Jeans from Top Shop. The sandals are super popular right now. I love them because they add some edge to an outfit with the studs on the band, they are definitely a statement shoe. The Top Shop jeans do fit a bit snug and it is recommended to size up. I love Top Shop for petite jeans because they are of a good quality, fit well, and are not overly priced.
For the top, I’m wearing a braided top from Ann Taylor in a light mint color. The top is from the spring collection so I am linking near identical styles below. I paired this look with a Round Buckle Belt from LOFT. What’s your go-to jean?! Tell me in the comments below or email me!
