A Cheery Colorblock Bag to Chic up Jeans or Khakis

In a season more about statement shoes and ginormous jewelry, sometimes you just crave a bag that does the talkin'. This eyecatching canvas geometric hobo by Hayden-Harnett was inspired by French textile artiste Madame Paule Marrot and hides a sweet print lining.  It's limited to only 50, so shop fast at HaydenHarnett.com.

And now that you own it, what do you wear it with? Here are some ideas:

Please (please, please!) resist the urge to match a red bag with a red dress or pants...black with black, yes, blues...no problem...however tone-on-tone red is best left alone (or on the runway). Instead, red looks most striking paired with khaki or baby blue, and played up with other red accessories:

• sweet blue cotton poplin dress (love the ties on the cap sleeve) - JCrew.com
• red hoop earrings by Kenneth Jay Lane - MaxAndChloe.com
• Marni wood & plastic necklace - BrownsFashion.com
• Toy watch - BrownsFashion.com
• Juicy Couture Lillian Mary Jane espadrilles - Zappos.com
• belted DVF safari wrap dress - NeimanMarcus.com...for more ideas on working the safari trend - CLICK HERE
