Kate Spade New York Picnic in the Park basket

I got an email about this purse being on sale, and I just jumped all over it. The cost was a bit more than I'd typically like to pay for a novelty purse, but I thought that this one was actually a decent size and not extremely pigeon-holed into a specific theme, so I used my PayPal balance and went for it!
(Plus I also love that Kate Spade has free shipping including to Hawaii that's actually 2 day ship :O)

The purse is just about as I was expecting size-wise with the modeled photo reference. Certainly too tiny to be actually used as a legit picnic basket, but just right as a small purse! The flaps do open all the way to the handle, but at the current time, I don't think I can open both fully at once. The magic tab flaps actually work much better than I anticipated. The shoulder strap is a good option as well although the basket is quite bulky when worn against the hip since the basket shape is quite solid. 

Some quick outfit pairings!

I know I had some really great matches for this purse before when my wardrobe was much larger but have since re-homed those items (Liz Lisa gingham strawberry dress, basically any pink-red Liz Lisa print tbh), but I still think it works with what I do have! Maybe not as matchy-matchy, but still nice. It's great that the strawberry charm is removable as well to make it even a little more neutral/versatile. Looking forward to using this purse more during the summer :)
 What do you think? 💕
