How to Elevate Your Basic Bag

I've talked a lot about clothing on my blog. Let's talk about one of my favorite accessories... bags!

Whether it's my school bag, my huge oversized gym tote, or a small, going-out crossbody bag, I love to add a little something extra to make my bags stand out. 

Take a look at this bag, for example: 



It's just a simple, black tote. Many of us own at least one of these, but not many people feel the need to elevate it like I do. I'd recommend you either add a scarf or a keychain to it. 

There are many ways you can tie a scarf onto a handbag, just follow this website's guide for ideas. 

InStyle gives some tips on how to use a scarf to add a little flair to any bag. By following these ideas, you can end up with a much cuter, more unique bag like these: 



















Another idea I love doing (and always get so many compliments on) is adding a fluffy keychain. I always opt for the large faux fur ones.

Etsy has some great options. I order keychains from there all of the time. I make sure they're not real fur, and because they are so cheap, I buy a wide range of colors. If my bag is colored, I put a neutral color on. If it's a plain black, tan, white, or gray bag, it's super fun to put a colored fuzzy keychain on like the picture above.

By adding a keychain or scarf to your bag, you instantly make it your own. Try it out!  :)
