I absolutely love my Alexander Wang Marion bag. I have been looking for a causal shoulder bag for Spring/Summer and this bag is it! The Marion in eggshell has inspired this all white outfit. The eggshell colour of the bag is more of a ivory white rather than a stark white. The contrast can be seen from my outfit where the Zara jumper I am wearing is a stark white and the printed trousers and bag are both ivory whites. I think the different shades of white creates a more interesting outfit; while not completely matching but still coordinated.

- Alexander Wang Marion bag in eggshell
- Celine Audrey sunglasses
- Tiffany & Co bracelets
I love how the white shades are all different. LOVE the bag too but I would so get that dirty somehow.

Thanks alison*elle! I am in love with this bag! It’s the perfect sized shoulder bag. Usually I would never buy a light coloured bag but this bag was such a bargain buy so I couldn’t pass it up! I am extremely worried about getting this bag dirty and will be looking after it like crazy! I am definitely not going to wear jeans with this bag because I’m worried about the colour transfer. You might be right though, even if I look after it I will probably somehow get it dirty! oh dear!

Thanks Annie! I wear a lot of dark colours in Winter so wanted to change it up. I think I am just eagerly waiting for Winter to be over and this outfit reflects me eagerness to transition into Spring/Summer! Mel xx
Very chic look Mel! I was just wearing an all black outfit today with a dark brown belt to break the large area of solid color. Love the different textures, especially the trousers!
Thanks Estee! With the same coloured pieces in an outfit I think it’s important to have different textures/prints to separate the pieces. I like how you wore your black outfit and used a brown belt to break up the solid colours. That’s a great idea! Mel xx
Beautiful! What did you do to alter the sandals?
Thanks Beth. The sandals originally came with three straps. The alteration I did was to cut the middle strap off.
Here’s a link to what the sandals originally looked like:

I prefer it much better without the middle strap. I think it’s more practical to wear as it matches with more of my outfits. I think three straps on the sandals looked too busy once paired with outfits. What do you think?
