Glam but first coffee
Where are my active followers that are probably tired of hearing about this bag? But yes, I found my perfect made basket bag. If you do not like normal, floppy basket bags like I don’t, this might be for you. I will insert the link where to buy the bag and similar bags (in case it is sold out). However, this blog post is not just about the bag but about how to style a basket bag.Â
When I go accessory hunting, I always think of different ways to style the item. Whenever you are planning to buy something fashion related, think about the whole outfit and how you are going to wear it! Many times I have bought something spontaneously that is not even in my vibe and have nothing to wear it with! Therefore, if you are searching for some fashion ideas and inspiration on how to style a basket bag, you are in the right place!

About the bag
The baby pink basket bag I got from Shein. It is a beautiful mini bag that holds a phone, a waller and some lipstick. The bag has a top handle and long over the shoulder chain strap. It has a very good quality and is a way heavier than I thought.

White mini skirtÂ
A basket bag is a summer accessory and a must-have. As a summer piece, I would wear it with everything light-colored- beige, nude, pastels or white. I have this beautiful white ruffle wrap skirt that I bought recently. Therefore this will be my go-to clothing item to style with the basket bag. If you have a white or nude-toned dress, the bag will look great with it as well!

Summer floral dress
The great things about the basket bag are that it is simple and one-toned. Therefore, it can be paired with different patterns, like lines or flowers. As floral dresses and skirts are very popular during summer, then it is a must-have to pair it with a nice basket bag.Â
A floral dress with a basket bag gives that countryside vibe, simple woman but still with the style. After all, baskets, flowers, and nature go well together so why not with a floral dress?

Denim blue shortsÂ
Denim blue shorts are a summer essential. A very casual but stylish summer look will be pairing the basket bag with denim blue shorts. I mention specifically the blue color because the denim blue specifically will look great and stand out on the background of the basket bag. However, white and other colors will look great as well. It also depends on the color of your bag. I see this outfit is topped off with a simple tank top or crop top, and sandals.
I have always said that accessories add the most important touch and I feel like the basket bag can bring the denim shorts to the next level.Â
Skinny jeans
I could not avoid mentioning skinny jeans. However, I live in Spain and it is so hot that I cannot even imagine getting my butt into skinny jeans. But if you are living in colder weather, then the nice denim skinny jeans will look so beautiful with a basket bag. Finish the look adding some slippers or sandals, casual t-shirt and you will look like a Hollywood star on your way to walk the dog.Â
Basic cotton dress
Any interesting and cute trendy accessories will look great with basic clothing, like a dress. When you are putting together an outfit, you do not want to exaggerate with the details and look too much. Choose one or two interesting pieces to bring attention to, and the rest should be simple and classy.Â
The only one I have is either a basic black mini dress or a colorful tie-dye dress! Nude or white would look great as well!

Black mini dress
The reason why I bought a colored basket bag is to be able to wear it from the day time to the night time. Therefore, also pair it with a black dress- either it is a basic one or for the night out. I am really upset if I cannot wear my accessories often and cannot find a use out of them. Whenever I buy my bags or other accessories, I am making sure that I can wear it with as many outfits as possible.Â
The baby pink basket bag can be paired perfectly with the black dress. Add nice jewelry and sandals to finish the look.

Pleated skirtÂ
I have one pleated skirt that I constantly forget about but lately, I have realized how many outfits can create with a pleated skirt. Basket bag goes great with a pleated skirt when you attend summer birthdays, maybe some beach or park picnic, or a nice lunch out with friends. It gives the classy feel without being too dressy!
Beachwear cover-up tunicÂ
Firstly, basket bags were made for summer fashion and were worn everywhere around the waters and beaches. Therefore, you can not go wrong by pairing your basket bag with a nice beach cover-up or tunic.
I always feel like I am a big mess when it is a beach day, with my hair and my outfits. This year I decided to look as stylish as I possibly can in hot weather and sandy surroundings.

Blue denim ruffle skirt
Last but not least is the denim skirt- a blue denim shirt preferably. I needed to include my denim ruffle skirt that I recently bought. Ruffles are my summer trend for this year, it looks like. After all, the baby pink basket bag I have gives a very feminine look and pairing it with the ruffle skirt it just adds to the feminity. Summers for me is all about my feminity breaking out of me.Â
