No, I wasn’t drunk or otherwise inebriated when I wrote this title.
Once you see something, it’s impossible to un-see it. Which is what can be said about this net bag. I initially saw it on some random artsy account, thought, ‘hey that’s kinda cool’, and proceeded to order it. In the span of 2 short months I began to notice it on the shoulder of every it-girl. You know, those girls who are either born with effortless French girl cool, or have mastered the art of feigning it.
While so much of French fashion may be unattainable, some of it isn’t. What I am referring to in particular is the net bag I bought from Amazon for a whopping $12.99. I think there’s something about the simplicity of the bag that makes it cool. It practically screams I-don’t-give-a-fuck, and I couldn’t be more into it. And I am not alone in my love for this net bag. This, this, and this is evidence of its stamp of approval from some fashion’s coolest chicks.
Now to address the elephant in the room: walking down the street with nothing but a bag of lemons may lead to people posing questions like ‘where is her wallet?’, and more pressingly ‘wtf is she doing with all those lemons?’ To be clear, this bag can be used to carry your wallet, sunglasses, etc. And to answer any lemon-related questions you may have, I consume them at an alarmingly high rate thanks to my obsession with salad bowls. So yes, I really did eat that.
Bet you didn’t think you could get an it-bag for this cheap.

In love with this outfit & obsessed with the fact that you styled this with a bag of lemons. Beyond cute.

I wish I could adopt French-girl style!
The little net grocery bag…I think it looks cuter with lemons in it rather than a wallet. And I doubt anyone will care about the lemons – these bags are the original reusable grocery bags (a little 80’s kid fact)

I think is bad is super cute but probably not the best for carrying around lipsticks or anything… (obviously). I love these photos though and your outfit is flawless!!

Used to hate this bag so much, but after seeing it a lot on Instagram and Pinterest, I might consider getting one for my trip to Tuscany. Can’t believe I’m joining the bandwagon, haha. Your photos also made me want one of them. And btw you look so cute in these photos, adore that dress from Zara. Wishing you a great day. xx

Ahhh, mystery solved, thanks so much Siff! I must admit I have loved this bag since I first laid eyes on it although I did question its usefulness other than grocery shopping at the market square 🙂 Love this whole look and how effortlessly cool you are in this white boho dress!
Happy day, gal!

There are so many different It bags this season. I’m glad you really ate those lemons.
Looking at the shhot the only thing that came in my mind : When life gives you Lemons, Make Lemonade 😀
You look beautiful gal.

I’ve also been seeing those bags everywhere and have been loving it on every girl that looks so effortlessly chic with it. Drizzled lemon is just a must on a salad.

This is just too cute! I haven’t yet seen it around, but there not doubt in my mind that right after I finish typing this, I will come across it everywhere because that’s how it always is, lol! I think I’d use it more for when going to the farmer’s market or beach! Thanks for sharing and I hope you have the best weekend ahead, beauty!

Haha, I’m always so behind the times. I had no idea that net bags are the in thing. It’s pretty unique and I like how you put lemons in it for this post, very colourful. Beautiful dress too Siffat. xx

Omg I am heading to Amazon ASAP, lol. I’ve seen this type of bag a couple of days ago on IG and wasn’t sure if I liked the concept. But I just love how you styled here; it matches the outfit perfectly and adds such a cool detail to it, especially with lemons inside! Thanks so much for sharing and have a great Sunday, beautiful!
