30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Balenciaga Day Hobo Bag | Magnificent Magenta

This quarter's Magnificent 8 collaboration post theme is magnificent magenta! And with it being so close to the end of the month when I usually do my 30 ways to wear posts, what better time to share 30 ways you can wear this marvellous magenta Balenciaga day bag?

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Balenciaga Day Hobo Bag

I'm surprised I haven't done a 30 ways to wear post with this bag yet, it's one of my favourites! It's definitely my favourite Balenciaga pink too. I have owned a few bags in this colour, which came out in 2005 over the years, but this style made it a keeper in my wardrobe. It's no secret I like bright and colourful bags, and this isn't even my only magenta bag.... But a magenta bag goes with so many more outfits than you'd think!

Cost Per Wear

I got lucky and picked this Balenciaga day bag up preloved at the end of 2015, for just $607. Despite being a 10 year old bag at the time, it had such a vibrant vivid magenta colour, and hardly any signs of wear. 7 years of me owning it later, and it still looks just as good as it does when I got it - Balenciaga bags slouch so beautifully as they age! Being a bit of a splurge, although I've worn it a lot (50 times so far), it works out to $12.14 per wear at the moment. Much higher than the $1 per wear most people aim for for value for money, but pretty good for a spendy buy, and one that will be in my wardrobe permanently, getting the cost per wear down even lower!

It took me quite a while to go through all the 50 times I've worn this magenta bag and come up with just 30 of my favourite outfits! I picked a few outfit and colour formulas to share with you, to give you an idea of how versatile a magenta bag could be in your wardrobe. Here are some of my favourite ways to wear it.

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Hobo Bag | Video Style

Magenta Bag In Office Outfits

I love wearing my bright and colourful bags into the office! It's nice to have a bit of colour on your desk through the day while spending hours sitting at a computer. And of course, these 4 outfits show the easiest way to wear any bright colour - pair it with black! With all the black and the other neutrals in these outfits, it makes the magenta bag really pop.

Magenta Bag with Blue Outfits

It's no secret I love blue and pink together. Having so much blue in my wardrobe, I've worn this magenta bag with every shade I own, and it always looks good! From the pastel baby blue skull scarf, denim dresses and skirt, even a cobalt scarf, magenta just works with any shade of blue.

Magenta Bag With Purple

Magenta being the perfect blend of pink and purple together means it looks so good worn with other purple pieces. You don't have to go big and bold like I have with the purple printed dress in the third outfit, you can try the colour combination on a smaller scale with a purple scarf. A bright scarf and bag are a fun way to add colour to a neutral layered outfit in winter too.

Magenta Bag With Tee and Denim

Forever a staple outfit, a classic tee and denim formula is a go to the world over. To make it just a little different from a standard basic formula though, you can add a bright bag. And this fun magenta bag is definitely bright enough to add more interest to any version of denim and tee you wear!

Magenta Bag With Matching Magenta Accessories

Since magenta pairs so perfectly with blue, and I have a lot of blue in my wardrobe, I also have quite a few other magenta pieces. It's fun to make a matchy-matchy outfit and wear more than one magenta piece at a time. From a pink skull scarf to a magenta cami peeking out from under a dress, or a larger matchy-matchy with the magenta cardigan and bag together! Even if the pink in that last skull scarf isn't quite magenta...it's close enough to make my matchy-matchy self happy!

Magenta Bag and Printed Dress Outfits

A big bold block colour hobo bag like this Balenciaga day bag is so easy to wear with statement printed dresses. You can try coordinating like I have with the pink and purple dress in the third outfit there, or just have the bag be a bright pop of colour and contrast against the print like I have in the other three outfits.

Magenta Balenciaga Day Bag In Pregnancy

I always love putting pregnancy photos in these 30 ways to wear posts. Because not every item of clothing will be wearable through all 3 trimesters of pregnancy and beyond, but a handbag sure will! A big practical hobo bag like this, it got a lot of wear over my last pregnancy.

30 Ways To Wear A Blush Pink Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Darren

For this month's 30 ways to wear post, I'm featuring another bag, this beautiful Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger in peony pink. A bag I've worn a lot more than 30 times, the pastel pink has been so versatile in my wardrobe!

30 Ways To Wear: Blush Pink Small Darren Satchel Bag

When I saw this bag during a browse of the David Jones sale I could not get it out of my head - so I had to buy it! I didn't think about how I would wear it, just how pretty it was. I have been pleasantly surprised to find it works with so many outfits in my wardrobe! The adjustable strap is a nice feature, although I do mostly wear it on the longest crossbody setting. I started out just trying this bag as a lovely pastel pink touch of colour with a neutral or monochrome outfit, but found over time blush pink goes with so much, and I'm so glad I stumbled across this bag in the sale! I'm really not sure why this messenger style was discontinued - the Darren is still available in other styles, but this original one will always be a true classic to me!

Cost Per Wear

I bought this bag back in October 2018, at over 50% off it was $240.78 as there was an extra discount on the sale price. At 44 wears to date, that's $5.47 a wear so far. Higher than the $1 a wear most people aim for, but given how often I reach for this bag and how much I love it, I have no doubt it will get to $1 a wear or less in time.

One thing to note is that the lighter colour has suffered from colour transfer - thankfully it was easily cleaned off. Since then I haven't had any further issues wearing this bag with denim or dark clothing, it's staying stain free.

Since I've worn this bag a lot more than 30 times, I tried to pick just my 30 favourite outfits to share.

Pastel Pink Bag and Little Black Dress

This was one of the first ways I started wearing this bag - pairing the pale pastel pink with a lot of black. A little black dress is perfect for that. The bag adds a nice colour that isn't too statement making like a brighter pink bag would be, and pink and black always go together nicely.

Blush Pink Bag With Blue Outfits

If you're read my blog occasionally you'll know that blue and pink is a colour combination I always love to wear - different shades of blue and pink work together so well! While navy blue is a frequent go-to with this blush pink Darren bag, you can see with these outfits that even lighter shades of blue look nice with the pastel pink.

Pastel Pink Bag With Monochromatic Neutral Outfits

Just like the little black dress outfits above, neutral colours were a good starting point for me with this bag. Blacks and greys together create easy neutral outfits, and the pastel pink bag is a lovely way to inject a little colour with all those neutrals and otherwise monochromatic outfits.

Blush Pink Crossbody Bag and Purple

Although not something I wear as much as pink and blue, I do really like pink and purple in an outfit together. I just don't have many purple pieces in my wardrobe to pair this bag with! As you can see, the lilac tee is a firm favourite with this bag, I like the two pastel tones together.

Pastel Pink Bag Matching Other Pieces In An Outfit

If you're really not too sure about what colours go with a pastel coloured bag like this Rebecca Minkoff Darren, try doing a little matchy-matchy! I find pink scarves, or even piece4s with a blush pink print in them, coordinate perfectly with this peony pink bag and make any outfit feel a bit more cohesive. I love that I have a pair of shorts that match the bag so well too!

Pink Bag Worn With Other Contrasting Shades of Pink

If a little pink accessory looks good in an outfit, why not add even more pink? This was a fun colour combination to try, although I'd had this bag a while before attempting it! Trying two different shades of pink in the same outfit, from a deep berry blouse to a bright fuchsia dress, even the magenta kimono. The pastel pink works well with all other shades of pink I've tried it with! When I was trying this combination out I always wore it with other neutrals like black and white as you can see in these outfits.

Blush Pink Bag With With Other Pinks and Blue

This is a great example of how I've slowly tried more colour combinations with this bag! I could definitely categorise them some of the outfit formulas above. It's the blush pink and brighter pink outfit pieces combination, but this time instead of sticking with black and white pieces, I'm adding a little more colour and having the two different shades of pink, and a little bit of blue as well. Easy pairings I know that work well together, worn all at once to make a colourful new trio that I can try out in different outfits.

Rebecca Minkoff Peony Darren Bag and Skirts

This is the best way to show the versatility of this bag - it works so well with all my outfits, as you've seen above. But while I worried the crossbody messenger style might feel too casual, I think it's perfect for the office too! It looks just as good with a maxi skirt as it does with a little denim skirt, or a pencil skirt for work. It really is such a versatile bag, and I'm glad I have it in my wardrobe!

30 Ways To Wear Mulberry Alexa Satchel In Foggy Grey

I had this Mulberry Alexa in foggy grey in my wardrobe for a few years. While reminiscing about it I looked up some photos from the blog and was surprised to see I'd surpassed 30 wears with it! So although I've sold this bag on and no longer own it, let's look back on some of the ways I wore it while I had it.

30 Ways To Wear: Mulberry Alexa In Foggy Grey

Back in 2012 I was excitedly stalking the Mulberry Alexa bag on the now closed Reebonz site, waiting for that perfect storm of a great sale and a good exchange rate to bring it down to my budget. I was thrilled to score this bag for $1,028 as I had a discount code on top of the sale price. It was the perfect shade of greyish purple and I wore it a lot, getting to over 45 wears before I sold it on. I don't remember how much I sold it for though, which makes cost per wear tricky to calculate as I can't deduct the money I got from selling it! It works out at a $22.84 per wear just taking into account the price I paid and how many times I wore it, but I know that the new owner has worn it a bunch more too.

I sold the bag in 2016 so 45 wears in 4 years isn't too bad considering how often I rotate my bags. The turn lock closure and magnetic straps were just a bit too much each time I wanted to use the bag when my son was a newborn so it wouldn't have gotten much wear if I had decided to keep it. I probably won't stop searching it on resale sites now and then though, hoping I stumble across one at a bargain price in great condition!

Here's some of the ways I wore this beautiful foggy grey lilac toned Mulberry Alexa bag while it was in my wardrobe:

Neutral Dresses and Purple Toned Alexa Bag

A colourful bag is a go-to for me with a neutral outfit! And these neutral black and brown dresses are the perfect backdrop to showcase the lovely purpley-grey colour of this Mulberry Alexa bag. Because it's such a grey based purple, it stands out without making too much of a statement.

Office Outfits With Mulberry Small Alexa Bag

While it was in my wardrobe, I found the Mulberry Alexa was a great bag to wear to work. The muted purple colour worked well as it wasn't too bold and bright and attention grabbing. It's a nice classic style for toting everything to work and really roomy too!

Purple Toned Alexa Bag With Other Purple Clothing Pieces In An Outfit

I like a bit of matchy-matchy, but this Mulberry Alexa bag is such a unique shade of purple I didn't have anything in my wardrobe that matched it exactly! It does compliment other purple pieces in an outfit though, even if not the same shade. From the lilac tee, to the deeper purple skinny jeans, or even the berry cardigan that's more on the magenta side, this grey-ish purple goes perfectly!

Purple Scarf Outfits With Foggy Grey Alexa

Just like the outfits above, none of these purple scarves match the Alexa bag, even the lilac one around the grey dress in the middle. Again though I still think the extra shades of purple from the scarves go nicely with the different purple-grey shade of the bag.

Purple Toned Alexa Bag With Pink Outfits

Pink and purple is always a good colour combination - and these 4 outfits showcase that well, from bold neon pink, to a blush pink. The pink and purple colour combo with this bag works well in any pink shade.

Printed Dresses and Mulberry Alexa Bag

Because the Mulberry Alexa bag in foggy grey is one block colour with neutral toned hardware, it's easy to pair with printed pieces like these dresses. All three dresses here are different prints and colours but the Alexa is a great accessory with all three!

Mulberry Alexa Bag Worn In Winter Outfits

I'm not someone who thinks some colours can only be worn seasonally. While this purple toned bag is great for warmer weather, it works equally well in winter! As you saw with the neutral dress outfits above, I like it with dark winter neutrals like black, grey and navy as it provides just a little extra colour without being too bright.

Pregnancy Outfits with Mulberry Alexa Bag

I wore this Mulberry Alexa bag a lot in pregnancy - no matter how big my belly got, this bag always worked! Bags are a good investment as you can wear them for years.

30 Ways To Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Magenta Edie Crossbody Bag

Featuring a beautiful bag for this month's 30 ways to wear post. One that illustrates perfectly how much of a challenge committing to wear something 30 times can be! Over a couple months I've been so sure I'd have hit 30 wears on this bag, I feel I wear it pretty regularly. But I've only just hit 33 wears with it. 30 wears can take a bit of time to achieve if you don't wear something daily, even something that's easily reworn without waiting for the laundry cycle, like a handbag!

30 Ways To Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Magenta Edie Crossbody Bag

It's not the first time I've shared 30 ways to wear a pink bag, I think it's such a fun colour to accessorise with! And this magenta is definitely my favourite shade of pink, it goes with so much!

Cost Per Wear

I ordered this pretty little bag in the post-Christmas sales and got it in January 2019. It was reduced to $168.92 (including shipping), which I just couldn't resist as it retails for $330. At 33 wears, that brings it to $5.12 a wear which is much higher than the $1 a wear people aim for, but is pretty good cost per wear so far for a leather handbag. Considering it is still in amazing condition and something I don't ever see myself getting rid of I know I will hit $1 per wear eventually. I tend to see my bags as splurges that are always good value given how much they will be worn over their lifetime. Excited to keep wearing this for years to come!

Magenta Edie Bag With Blue Dresses

Honestly the reason I love magenta accessories so much is because of how well the colour goes with blue, and I have a lot of blue in my wardrobe. You'll see the blue and magenta combo in a lot of these outfits but I wanted to call out these 4 dress outfits specifically as a blue printed dress and pink bag is a staple outfit formula, and it shows how well the Edie bag works with different styles of dresses and different shades of blue.

Matching Handbag to Other Magenta Pieces In An Outfit

Matchy-matchy makes me happy! An easy way to wear a bold bag is to match it to something else in your outfit that's the same colour. That could be a scarf with a bit of magenta in it, a magenta necklace, or something with magenta in the print like the kimono. The magenta jeans and Edie crossbody bag together are a particularly bold combination.

Wearing a Magenta Bag With Different Shades of Pink

Despite my live of a matchy-matchy outfit, sometimes it's nice to try something a little different and wear the little magenta Edie bag with other shades of pink in an outfit. Blush and other shades of pastel pink pair nicely with the magenta bag. Even pastel pink so pale it kind of blends in with the white tee like in the maxi skirt outfit!

Magenta Bag As A Pop Of Colour In Outfits

Hands down the easiest way to wear a colourful bag, wear it as a pop of colour with your outfit. I do this a lot with my brighter bags. As you can see from these past outfits, the magenta Edie bag really pops against neutrals like black, white and grey.

Magenta Edie Bag Worn With Purple

Pink and purple are such fun colours together and these 5 outfits show how well this little magenta bag goes with different shades of purple. From larger pieces like a tee or jeans to smaller pieces like a scarf or in a print of a kimono, magenta and purple look great together.

Edie Crossbody Bag With Summer Shorts Outfits

A little crossbody bag like the Rebecca Minkoff Edie is a great choice in warmer weather. It's a good light bag and the long chain strap means it doesn't have to get all caught up in your armpit a hot day like a shoulder bag would 😅 Plus this bag just looks great with shorts and magenta is a lovely colour for summer.

Magenta Edie Bag With Blue Winter Outfits

Of course I like to wear my bags year round and just as the Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag works in summer with shorts like I showed above, it works well with winter layers too. A colourful bag can inject a bit of brightness to a winter outfit. In most of these outfits you'll notice that I'm wearing the blue and magenta colour combo again too. It really works and is such a staple for me.

30 Ways To Wear: Purple Cocoon Cardigan From Jeanswest

For this month's 30 ways to wear post I'm sharing some of the ways I've worn this pretty purple cocoon cardigan. Each month I take a look through my blog archives to see what pieces in my wardrobe I've hit 30 wears with, to put together these posts.

I don't track my wear count with spreadsheets, or apps, I'm not that organised! It's just me regularly taking a pic of what I wear each day and putting it on the blog. When I search for previous ways I've worn things I can see post counts and identify items that are at or close to 30 wears. Because I'm on Blogger which is run by Google I'm guessing the post search function I get behind the scenes is better than Wordpress? Seems to be Wordpress users mostly that don't understand how my blog archive can tally how many times I've worn things. It's so easy to just query for "Jeanswest Peggie kimono cardigan in purple mulberry marle" as I've labelled this cardi, and I get all the times I've worn this cardigan counted for me. Thrifted pieces are a little trickier as I don't know the official store colour names or descriptors but I try to give them unique names so it's easier to search later. Been blogging what I wear each day for almost 10 years so that's a lot of outfits and pieces being worn I can find!

30 Ways To Wear: Purple Cocoon Cardigan

This Peggie purple cocoon cardigan is just perfect for our milder temperatures in Brisbane - not too thick and warm, which makes it perfect to wear on its own, or to layer with on a really cold day. And even though it's 6 years old, it's still in perfect condition!

Cost Per Wear

I picked this cardigan up in a Jeanswest sale back in June 2015. I wasn't a big cardigan wearer until after the boys were born and I realised how it was much better breastfeeding a baby in winter in a cardigan than a jacket with big buttons or zips! Since then I have embraced them more, but it still has taken me 6 years to reach 32 wears with this cardigan. Pleased with how long this cardi has lasted in my wardrobe though, and it has lots of wear left! It is a thin, fine knit so I'm really just lucky it hasn't snagged on anything to get a pull or a hole, and the "hand wash" setting on our washing machine has helped make sure it's not damaged in the wash. I'm sure using that wash setting and never using a dryer is why I find high street or fast fashion pieces last years and for 30+ wears in my wardrobe.

As it was a "extra % off already discounted items" sale buy, it was just $17.49. I don't remember the original price as the email receipt only has the final price but I think that was a pretty good deal! It works out as 55 cents a wear so far too which is awesome. There are a few colour combos I like to wear with this cardigan, and some outfit pieces it makes a great topper for, so here's 30 of my favourite ways I've worn it!

Purple Cardigan As An Extra Layer

This cardigan was great for winter days back when we used to work in offices. Light enough to add as a layer under a thicker coat or trench to add extra warmth on the commute, and a great topper on its own in the office one the coat was off. Was a nice little hint of purple in all the layers too.

Purple Cardigan To Bring Colour to Neutrals

This deep purple is a great way to add more colour to a neutral outfit. It works well here with the black and white outfits to add some brightness without being too bold. It's nice to just let the cardigan be the only touch of colour in an outfit too sometimes.

Purple Cardigan With Pink Outfits

There are a few colour combos I frequently wear together. Pink and purple is one of those. As you can see from the pics this pretty purple is so nice worn with magenta pink, and so I like wearing my magenta pieces like the jeans and midi dress with this purple cardigan.

Purple Cardigan With Blue Outfits

Another go-to combination for me is purple and blue. I like all shades of blue with this cardigan, from pale blue chambray to a darker navy, it's a nice completer piece to add to a blue outfit. 

Purple Cardigan Worn With Other Purple Pieces In An Outfit

Matchy-matchy makes me happy! With this purple cardigan though, I don't have any other pieces in this exact shade. So it's more monochromatic matchy-matchy in these outfits, that I think works just as well. All the different shades of purple, from the jeans to the scarves or the little mini MAB tote bag, look great together.

Purple Cardigan and Prints

Sometimes it can be tricky to layer an outfit that has a lot of print in it if you want to avoid print clashing. A block coloured cardigan like this one is the perfect layer then as it introduces even more colour to your outfit but doesn't compete with any printed pieces. You can see how good it looks here with small things like tartan scarves to bigger statement pieces like chevron print jeans or a Paisley print dress.

Purple Cardigan Worn With Shorts

In spring and autumn when it's not quite warm enough for bare arms and bare legs together legs light cocoon cardigan like this is the perfect topper. Not bulky so it's easy to take off and put in a bag if it warms up, but warm enough to keep you cosy in the cooler mornings and evenings. Shorts and cardigans will always be a staple outfit formula for me in those in-between seasons.

Purple Cardigan Worn With Dresses

The cocoon shape of this cardigan doesn't limit what I wear it with. Just as it's worked with jeans and shorts and skirts above, it works really well with dresses too! Both shorter dresses and maxi dresses are a great base for a cocoon cardigan. And colourful or printed dresses let me try out some different colour combos with the purple too!
