Inside My Bag And My Mind: Ally

Ally, our copywriter, loves taking this shoulder tote bag into the office. The Florentine Large Amelie Shoulder Tote Bag is one of our most popular shoulder tote bags for women. Dooney fans love that it can fit so much into one adorable package, and it’s great for both work and play.

So, Ally, tell us about yourself!

WHICH BAG ARE YOU CARRYING?

I’m carrying the Florentine Large Amelie Shoulder Tote Bag in this lovely pink color!

WHY DO YOU LOVE IT?

It fits ALL my workday essentials including my laptop! What more could I need in a cute work bag?

DO YOU HAVE ANY STYLING ADVICE?

I love to play with color in my wardrobe. My biggest advice is to not be afraid to mix it up, go with your gut, and try new things. If it doesn’t work it doesn’t work, but if it does, the confidence boost is amazing. For this bag specifically, I love to pair it with lighter pastels and neutrals to make it really pop.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE SHAPE AND WHY?

Well, I love a good crossbody bag, but recently, I have been enjoying shoulder tote bags much more. I always feel put together when I use them, and they’re so cute!

WHAT’S ONE THING YOU ALWAYS HAVE IN YOUR BAG?

HAND SANITIZER. Especially these days it’s a must, but my mom works in a hospital so it’s a healthy habit I have picked up over the years.

MOST PRACTICAL ITEM IN YOUR BAG RIGHT NOW:

I have hand lotion to go with my sanitizer, of course! That way, I can avoid dry skin, and I smell amazing.

MOST SURPRISING ITEM IN YOUR BAG RIGHT NOW:

I’d have to say the MOST surprising is my half-finished crochet project… I thought I’d be done with it by now!
