Three Ways To Style Your Favorite Buhi Tote Bag This Summer

A tote bag is a true staple piece year-round. But in the summer, it can serve as our beach bag, picnic basket, farmer's market bag, and more! So how do you ensure this bag full of functionality doesn't end up looking frumpy? I'm going to show you how to dress for any occasion and make sure your tote bag looks like a part of your look instead of just...baggage. The tote I'm going to be using is from Buhi's OG line, the "Signature" tote!

#1: The Farmer's Market: 
  • What happens at the farmer's market? A LOT of walking! For this look I chose I simple pair of white sneakers for comfort purposes.
  • A long linen pant is a great option for warmer weather because the fabric isn't heavy and is breathable. If it's colder, you'll be happy you had on long pants!
  • A graphic tee with colors pulling from the Buhi tote ties this look together. I made sure to choose a graphic tee that was a lighter color as well in case the sunshine is blasting!
#2: The Beach:
  • Obviously, the base of any beach outfit is your swimsuit! Wear whatever color and style makes you feel your best. I chose a red bikini to again, pull colors from the tote bag . I like to match, what can I say?
  • For modesty and going into public places sake, I need a cover-up! This white flowy dress makes the perfect transition piece from the beach to lunch nearby.
  • Finally, pair of simple flats versus flip-flops can take a beach outfit from 0-100 (100 meaning AMAZING.) Choose a pair that are neutral and you're okay with getting sandy of course!
#3: Brunch
  • Brunch is a great opportunity to really dress up your tote! For this look, I chose a bright and flowy sundress.
  • In case it's a chillier day, pair the dress with a cardigan or jean jacket depending on the dress code of the restaurant you're in.
  • Sitting down to eat is the perfect opportunity to wear those cute heels you've had in your closet for months! Use these times to wear your adorable (but impractical) shoes. I chose a wedge because I like to minimize the chances of breaking my ankle. LOL.
As you can see, it's really simple to dress up a tote bag for any occasion, especially when you have one that's versatile, like the Buhi bag!

When you design an outfit around your staple piece, it gets much easier to narrow down your options! I highly recommend getting a nice neutral tote bag (like the "Signature" tote) for this summer to make planning your outfits less of a chore.

So, which look was your favorite? What would you have changed about any of these looks to make them your own? Let me know in the comments! Can't wait to see everyone's style this summer!
