Choosing Your Hawaiian Purse
When settling on the perfect Hawaiian purse or bag, a few considerations come into play. Choose something brightly patterned, but make sure that it will go with key pieces in your closet. You'll want to rock your new Hawaiian bag more than once per season, so make sure it is bold and fun but complements what you already own. Second, when you do settle on a style, let that be your piece of pattern. Having a busy Hawaiian bag, a differently patterned Hawaiian dress, and floral shoes will be far too much. If you choose a bag with lots of color and personality, play down the other components of your style with solids. Lastly, don't break the bank. Something like a Hawaiian purse will get plenty of use on tropical getaways and during the warmer months, but you might not use it year-round. If you are going to splurge on a year-round handbag, consider purchasing something timeless, classic, and well-made.
