Fall into Color with Monroe and Main {Review}
Disclosure: This is a Fashionista Event Opportunity, and is hosted by Still Blonde after all these YEARS and Modly Chic.
Okay ladies, autumn is upon us and it’s time to “fall” into color with Monroe and Main! Whether you’re looking for a new dress, a pair of boots, a new purse (or three), you can find the perfect shade for fall.
Helping you with the hottest fashion trends and clothing styles for women—tops, bottoms, shoes and accessories. Helping you look and feel your most confident at work, unique and flattering on the town, or comfortable and fun-loving in favorite getaway spots.
The hottest colors are definitely in style for Monroe and Main’s fall line-up. I found several shades of blue along with a few browns, blacks, golds and my favorite…purple! In fact, I found so many things I fell in love with that came in a shade of purple that it was difficult to pick my favorite! Whether I need a whole new outfit or just a piece to accessorize with, Monroe and Main has it all in the stunning shades that we know and love this time of year.
My personal favorite was the Studded Tote 3-in-1 (obviously I ordered the purple set of course). This is a great trio that includes a tote, a bag, and a change purse. It has the luxurious feel of leather plus the metallic silver studs complimenting the design. I’ve been able to use them all at the same time, or as three separate pieces.
The first of the studded tote pieces was the tote bag itself. It’s straps were long enough to easily sling over my shoulder and a magnetic snap closure to keep my things from spilling out! I liked that it wasn’t so long that I couldn’t tuck it safely under my arm when I was in crowded places. One of the best parts was the flat bottom so it did tend to “sit” nicely when I set it down. There are no pockets or zippers inside this bag, so I wouldn’t use it as a purse but it rocked as an overnight bag! The inside was lined in the same purple color which reminded me of a suede kind of material.
The second piece of the set was the “bag”; this became my purse since it has the cross-body strap which was a life saver helping me stay hands-free when I was running errands. The bag only had a few of the studs that decorated the tote, but the clasps for the straps and the adjustable loops were made of the silvery metal. This could also be a traditional over the shoulder bag by adjusting the strap and the top does zip closed. There is a zipper pocket on one side of the lining and two pockets on the opposite side. This beauty is lined with a beige silky liner that compliments the purple quite nicely.
Finally, the sweet coin purse was studded like the tote and had a zipper top. This bag doesn’t have pockets but really, it’s small enough that you should be able to find everything just fine. It also has a thin wrist strap that was great for just running out to dinner but I also tied the strap around the straps of the purse and the tote so I didn’t have to move my ID and cash back and forth. And since they are all the same color, it worked quite wonderfully!
I found that using all three pieces, I was able to pack for an overnight getaway with no problem. But it was also nice just to use one or two pieces by themselves as I needed them! I would love to pick up another set in another color, maybe in gold or a dark red color (they aren’t currently offered but I can dream).
