Fabulous teal: Try jumping into the trend headfirst with a bright colour to accentuate your outfit of the day. We are liking this deep teal miniature handbag, which flatters the tones in the rest of the style. The blue-green shade contrasts against the yellow blazer and plaid blanket scarf, while the denim keeps the overall look casual and versatile.

Glam and glitter: For the glamour girl who loves sparkle and shine, try stepping out with a tiny black chain purse adorned with tiny metallic studs. Simply add a wool three-quarter length coat, distressed denim and a pair of ankle booties to balance out the decorative, formal feel of the outfit.

Neutral leather: Besides being your next must-have accessory for a night out on the town, the micro purse can also complement your daytime style. Slip into an embroidered floral blouse or frock, and pick up a light brown miniature purse for a finishing touch. A leather or pleather bag in a sandy, beige or camel tone can truly set the stage for a versatile and classic outfit of the day.
