Each month since January 2017, I pick something I've worn 30 times or more and put this post together sharing the ways I've worn it to give you some ideas or inspiration for how to rewear a similar piece in your own wardrobe. Inspired by the 30 wears challenge I heard about in The True Cost documentary.
30 Ways To Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Red Micro Avery Tote Bag
I tried to think of some different ways to categorise these outfits, as I have shared other red bags before in the 30 Wears series. Despite having more bags in other colours, the red bags seem to be ones I reach for over and over and they are staples in my collection! I'm surprised I haven't done a 30 wears post yet with one of my many pink bags - need to add that to my to-do list!
Cost Per Wear
This Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote bag was a lucky eBay find back in August 2018. I had an eBay voucher, the seller hadn't listed a lot of details, and in the end I paid just $17 for it. One of my best eBay scores, I've certainly got a lot of value from that $17! At 33 wears it's down to 52 cents a wear. A really good cost per wear figure for a designer bag, even if it is just a contemporary designer and a discontinued style, I love it.
30 Wears Video Style:
Blue Dress
I love red and blue together so of course I've worn this little red bag with a lot of blue! From navy to teal, the red really pops, especially against a printed blue dress.
Pencil Skirt
Despite the mini size, this bag fits quite a lot! It can fit my essentials (keys, wallet phone) and still has space for my camera, so it's a good size to take to work if I don't have to carry any notes around. It means I've frequently worn it with pencil skirts, I think the mini size looks great worn this way.
Graphic Tee
I like to wear this bag casually too. I love a good tee, and this micro Avery bag works well with a graphic tee - from being the only pop of red in my outfit like in the middle with the blue and white graphic tee, or in the other outfits where I've matched the red bag to the red in the print of the tee. As you can see from the Santa tees, this bag gets worn a lot around Christmas time too.
Matching Accessories
Matching bags and scarves is something I do often but I wanted to include that pic with the red and green beaded necklace there to show you you can match this cute little red bag to any red neck piece - a necklace or a scarf! Wearing this bag with a red scarf is definitely my favourite though!
Matching Print
More matchy-matchy, this time matching in some subtle ways, wearing red printed pieces with this little red micro Avery bag. From something as bold as a red striped tank to a more subtle red stripe on a rainbow knit, the red bag is a great accessory to wear.
Matching Clothes
I think this is the ultimate amount of matching! One statement red piece in your outfit looks great, like a skirt, tee or jeans, but you can go all-out and pair those red pieces with a similar bag too! When I do this, as you can see above, I tend to stick with neutral pieces in the rest of my outfit, or go with shades of blue that always look good with a lot of red.
Pop of Colour
The final way you can wear a little red bag like this is not matching at all, it's using the red bag as the pop of colour in your outfit. I love the bold bright red against a neutral black outfit, but as you can see in the second pic there it doesn't have to be blacks and greys - it works so well with the mustard dress!

Now that's what I'm calling versatility: that red Rebecca Minkoff bag certainly has it, providing a pop of colour in so many different ways! With all those colours, this post was a feast for my eyes on an otherwise grey and miserable day! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love how accessories can add a little bit of colour like that! :)
DeleteI think everyone should have a red bag in their closet
ReplyDeleteYou are a master at this. Great job. I love the bag by the way.

I love that you have so many different outfit combinations to match with your bag!!! Wow, you paid such a great price for it. Can I just source you to buy all of the things I want for a great price??? I love your bargains. I love small bags because you are really forced to choose what you want to carry. I've been looking into small bags lately. Have a great weekend!

This is such a cool bag to style and carry along. Loved the way you have carried this bag. I also like the size and the red color is truly gorgeous. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I was on break. Visited my family in Mumbai. I have a good news to share my brother's wife delivered a beautiful baby girl. :-)

Lovely outfits ❤
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have any red bags, so it was interesting to hear that red bags are ones you reach for over and over again! All the bags I use most often are boring neutrals, haha!
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of neutrals too but I love the brights! :)
Deleteam definitely getting a new red handbag for me. Love the way you have carried it with so many different dresses
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day

I love red bags, they just add so much drama and playfulness to an outfit, so it is no surprise to see you reaching for it time and time again. But I have to say a RM bag for $17 is definitely a massive win. Wish I had that kind of luck on eBay!

It's a great colour to have!
DeleteI can't believe you found the bag for $17! And it looks perfect. This would be my go-to bag. It's a nice size to carry and I love the pop of red it would add to anything. I love that you keep track of how many times you've worn it differently (you're so organized!). I can see that it's red but I'll bet if you wear it with coral, it kind of looks like it's coral. I have a nail polish that I love to wear that is the same color. It goes with anything red or coral that I wear. Great score on this one!

It's really easy to search the blog for ways I've worn things! :) And yes, some people say it looks very orange but it always looks red in person and with other red pieces. It's a great shade!
DeleteThis bag has such a great silhouette and color! It's no wonder it has been such a versatile piece for you :)
ReplyDeleteat first I was WOW 30 ways and you did it! I love the look of red and blue mixed together. xx

It's a fun series to do each month!
DeleteHello, I am a big fan of Rebecca Minkoff's bags and shoes. You certainly got an amazing deal on this one. I also have a couple of red bags but neither is as practical as this one and I don't have an Avery. I seem to gravitate towards Loves and Leos. It seems we both do love our bags! Take care and have a good weekend (or what's left of it). XOXO Terri
ReplyDeleteThe love is a great bag - I have two of it, haha! A classic I think! :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful bag - this one seems perfect, it's so versatile. I really like red bags for adding a little pop of colour to my more plain outfits x

hands up! Now I want a a bold red bag!
ReplyDeleteI love purses (bags), I just don't love changing them - or finding ones I do like (an almost impossible task for me). You've done a great job with the little red bag - and I do also love color. Thanks for sharing.
