You're halfway out the door in jeans and a tee when you reach for your bag. The same one you've carried all week. It does the job, but today you want something a little less predictable.
You don't have to change your outfit. Sometimes a bit of embroidery or an unexpected color is enough.
The POL Clothing bags at BellanBlue lean two ways: washed denim with floral and butterfly stitching, or quilted totes with louder prints. Which one suits you depends less on the print than on how you like to carry a bag.
Start with your Tuesday
A bag can look great in a photo and still be wrong for your routine. Think about the one you use now. If you keep wishing for a crossbody strap, take that seriously. If you like a tote but want the top zipped, that matters more than the prettiest print.
Then look at what you wear most. Mostly solid colors? A printed bag gives you somewhere to play. Love printed tops? Washed denim may be the easier place to start.
I'd choose with an ordinary day in mind, not an imaginary weekend that requires an entirely new wardrobe.
Ruffled denim for the jeans you already wear
The POL Embroidered Ruffle Denim Tote Bag is an open tote with shoulder handles. The current product details list it at 18 inches long, 12 inches high and 4.5 inches wide. Those measurements give you something to compare with the bag you already use; the floral embroidery and ruffled sides are the visual difference.
Pair it with an ivory tee and darker-wash jeans. The two washes keep the bag visible, and the florals soften an outfit that was otherwise plain.
The crossbody
If you want a crossbody strap rather than tote handles, the POL Embroidered Butterfly Woven Denim Bucket Bag has an adjustable strap and a drawstring-style top. Its cylindrical shape, butterfly embroidery and fringe tassels give you a different outline from the flat-sided totes.
On cooler days I'd wear it with a cream knit and relaxed trousers, so the texture has room to show.
A zipped tote with pattern to spare
The POL Quilted Printed Tote Bag in Black Multi has a zipper closure. If you prefer the top of your tote shut, that's a useful distinction from the open denim tote. The quilted print and striped binding provide the color and texture; choose the closure first if that's the detail you care about.
A black dress and boots would be my first pairing. The dress gives the print a clean backdrop, and nothing else needs adding.
Let the green tote have the color
The POL LOVE Quilted Bandana Print Carryall Tote Bag in Green Multi can be carried by hand or over the shoulder, according to the current product details. Choose it if those carrying options suit your routine and you want the green-and-pink print to do the outfit work.
Keep everything else quiet: a white shirt with blue jeans and sneakers. You don't need a pink accessory to make it work.
Pick the one you'd use on Monday
Think back to something you wore last week, and which bag would have made it feel a little more like you. If you want to keep looking, the POL Clothing collection has more outfit ideas. Check each bag's product page for current color availability and details before choosing.
