Welcome back, Shoppers.

We’re officially hitting that wonky weather time of year where a sweater is suddenly too warm by 3 pm, which means the answer is always going to be layers and items that won’t feel clingy, sticky, and flat-out annoying. Today we’re sharing two budget-friendly bag options to carry you into spring, along with some pants that are comfy, lightweight, and will go with just about anything.

want vs. need

woven bags

We all know of those buzzworthy items that are practical enough for us to need them, but trendy enough to simply want them. Up next: two woven bags that’ll have you feeling summer-ready:

What we want: J.Crew’s Small Straw Shoulder Bag ($118)

  • Buy it if you are sick of the slingback bag trend, but want something small yet spacious.

  • Skip it if you prioritize secure closures, or prefer to spend less on trendier items (or small bags).

What we need: Uniqlo’s Round Mini Crochet Bag ($29.90)

  • Buy it if you love the woven bag trend, but want to give it a try before spending more $$$.

  • Skip it if you are looking for more of a beach carryall.
