Accessories are a fast, easy, and chic way to update a look, and thanks to The Limited’s Mother’s Day campaign, I was able to find inspiration for a gift idea for my own Mom! Over the years we’ve interchanged our bags with each other quite a bit, so when I was looking the site over for the perfect gift, I kept finding myself looking over the belts, scarves, and in particular, handbags.
My Mom would love to have these bags, as they channel the epitome of her look, which revolves around glamorous, classic style. She loves a good accessory, in particular a handbag, and
The Limited Saddle Shoulder Bag reminds me of a classic Coach handbag she has from the 1970s with updated styling and hardware, while
The Limited Canvas Tote is a casual, spring/summer take on a Hermès Birkin bag, thanks to it’s canvas material, and is of course, a fraction of the luxury brand’s signature bag’s price!
If there’s anything my Mom taught me, it’s keeping an eye out for great details and stylish finds of good quality at amazing prices. I think she’d approve, and of course use these bags; naturally though, I get borrowing rights!”
So how could each of these bags be styled? I know that my Mom would want to use the Canvas Tote to work so that she can carry around her work documents, a snack, her massive makeup bag,10-pound key chain, and whatever else can possibly fit in there. For the Saddle Shoulder Bag, I envision it as more of a weekend option for running on errands, brunch with a girlfriend, or maybe a shopping (or my Dad would prefer, browsing) trip to Nordstrom’s.
See below for my styling recommendations (featuring all products from The Limited) to accompany each bag, and Happy Mother’s Day! If you’re stumped on a gift recommendation, don’t hesitate to reach out to me via the comments section below for suggestions.
