Asos purchases

Hi there! Long time no blog. Work has kept me busy lately so I haven't been able to blog as much as I'd like to. I've been working on a new schedule so hopefully I will have more free time in the coming days.
Anyway, I wanted to share a recent purchase from asos.com, a uk based online retailer. They have a large assortment of products such as clothing, accessories, shoes, and beauty products for men and women as well as a wide range of prices. They carry a variety of brands as well as their own.
My most recent purchase from asos was the ASOS Smart Front Strap bag and New Look Hand Painted Printed scarf. 

I wanted a structured or mint colored bag for quite some time now and I love how mint is such a popular color these days. I went to several stores to look for one but was not able to find one to my liking so I decided to look on asos. I usually don't purchase bags online since they can get damaged during shipping if not packaged properly but I have purchased from asos before and they offer free returns so I decided to take the risk.

 There are two ways to carry the bag, by hand and over the shoulder/cross body. The bag material is lightweight, soft and seems durable. It has a zippered top with a magnetic buckle and is structured so it won't flop over and bend/slouch once you put it down. It's very roomy on the inside. This bag works well as an office bag to add some color and expression as well as a fun school bag.

The scarf was more of a spontaneous purchase. I'd look in the scarf department occasionally for something cute but nothing specific in mind. I like that this scarf is more neutral and is able to go with more outfits and the design is not something I usually see. I love the size of this scarf. It's huge so it's poofy when worn and can be worn so many different ways. 

Readers, what are some of your favorite ways to bring personality to an outfit?
