One of my favorite episodes of the Cosby show is when Rudy is in love with this little purple plaid dress. She loves it and you feel her pain when she asks Claire Huxtable if she can wear this dress even though it's the fall. Oh she definitely tries to work her magic but alas after being punished and then doing the typical make up with mom moment, Rudy learns the hard truth that we have come to know, there are some items that no matter how much you transition it, it just has to go away! Thankfully many things in our wardrobe don't have to be resigned to this fate AND with people traveling the seasons don't always mean so much. I say this to say that we can have our cooler temperatures and our summery like things as well. In fact, we can even rock another decade if we choose!

Yes this C&C California beach tote bag is reversible, a great color and evokes the spirit of the 70's! I love that you can still head to the beach with this bag or over to a friend's barbecue. You'll look prepared wearing this bag with your swim wear as well as a cute jersey dress! This bas has a cute bamboo ring, great texture and is such a cute piece (please don't forget your espadrilles!). Take some time to enjoy getting this bag as apart of the ShopBop.com Summers End Sale - so yes you have to shop but you don't have to let go of the summer!
