Draped Silk Trench

I’m always on the go so I like to carry a bag that fits everything I need throughout the day (a pair of flats, my BKR, papers, etc.)  This brown leather tote is both chic and functional – it even doubles as my gym bag!  I paired it with one of my favorite silk trenches and this simple black dress (which is under $50.)  A silk trench is an ideal spring layering piece – and I love this vest version for the summer.
