This $60 bag looks so expensive.
Your weekly dose of style inspo: the affordable woven tote that looks designer, our fave workwear essentials, and a surprising new way to wear your sneakers.
Workwear, but make it cool.
This week on Nothing To Wear, we’re tackling how to stay polished and professional when it’s 30-plus degrees. Enter Virginia Jenkins, lawyer by day and relatable content creator by night. Virginia is all about sharing her daily style, from affordable staples to investment pieces (like her much-loved Celine bag, now sadly discontinued.)
From commuting hacks to avoiding “boring” office looks, she’s got all the advice you need to make getting dressed in the mornings easier. Listen to her chat with Leigh Campbell below.
The duo also shared their boujie and budget back-to-work finds:
Leigh’s boujie (clockwise from top left): Silk Laundry Relaxed Blazer, $405, and budget: Uniqlo Pleated Wide Pants, $59.90. Virginia’s boujie: Celine Cabas Phantom Leather Tote (discontinued), and budget: Arms Of Eve Delphine Gold Earrings $99.
This $60 bag rivals the really expensive ones.
Speaking of work essentials, I came across this bag in Target the other day and had to share it with you. Woven totes are having a moment, and this one is so affordable compared to the luxury offerings.
As we get back to business and see out the final weeks of summer, a bag with weave detailing is the perfect accessory. Plus, after seasons of neat little handbags, we’re about to see slouchy oversized totes take over.

But amid the sea of black dresses, white tops and neutral beige staples, there's one piece that stands out — a vibrant red dress.
As someone with Chinese and Korean heritage, that red dress is more than just a pop of colour; it's a nod to tradition and an essential part of celebrating the Lunar New Year. Here are a few of my favourite red outfits to shop now.
