So I had a new summer bag on my list anyway. Then I bought a white belt. And had styling brain freeze. See the post here:

It felt like I needed either more white in my outfit as in sandals or
shoes or a different bag. Or both. White shoes aren't practical for me
and I also didn't find any I liked that didn't look frumpy.

SO, I decided to try two summer options for handbags. One is white (not
as practical but I liked so much about it - size, features, style) The
other will pretty much match my hair colorI think, so it won't add
color to the outfit. It's also a neutral I could wear with a lot of
things.

I'm not one to swap my bags often - usually just 2 for me in a year -
one for fall/winter and one for spring/summer - so I will try hard to
just pick one to keep once I get them.

What do you think? Seen any others with exterior pocket, cross body strap option, mid-size, under $200 and in the color scheme of these?

Edit: I went with #2 and will show it soon. It's bigger than I imagined but really a perfect size for what I need. Very light weight and soft. Reminds me of beach sand (lots of soft colors remind me of beach sand I guess.)
