Marc by Marc Jacobs Flash Kelsey Crossbody Bag, Handbag of the Day

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Flash Kelsey Crossbody Bag is a splendid splash of color to add to your summer wardrobe.

In case you've suddenly noticed that your closet is full of beige, gray and beiger, this is your antidote to a boring summer of blah. The crinkle leather in this bewitching shade of "Rosie" is adorned with a smattering of working zig-zag zippers, making the overall look of the purse lighthearted and fun -- no rainy day gloom involved.

This carefree crossbody is larger than you might think -- 14½"W X 10"H X ½"D -- but the festive color makes it perfect for nighttime affairs as well as long days at the park. To make sure its brashness looks intentional, don't go monochrome with it; wear a floral or other print with detail in a similar color to achieve a quirky, yet put-together effect.

And do wear it on a rainy day; just looking at it will cheer you up.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Flash Kelsey Crossbody Bag is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $358.00.
