I seem to have been finding only high-ticket items recently so it was with some relief that I came across this burlap and suede-trimmed bowler bag at Old Navy. I was actually looking for shoes, "The Navy" being my place for a cheap shoe fix, but this bag sprang out at me...and who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?

Especially as I'm trying to get a more minimal "summer look"...once it gets past a certain temperature, excess seems to make me look and feel even warmer...and one of these would be a nicely muted, yet chic, addition to my summer wardrobe.
