So we all know the overused saying, “April showers bring May flowers.” You’ve probably heard it a million times in the past few weeks alone. Which is why we’re taking our color cue from it (think rain slickers) and going nuts for yellow this month.

Bright and beautiful, the Vangi Bucket Bag is the perfect go-to purse for the big “meeting the ‘rents” day. The conservative, all-yellow outside will show them that you’re largely a stand-up gal who will be a positive influence on their precious baby boy. But the beaded fringe detail will give them a heads-up that you’ve got just a little spunk and creativity behind your cool exterior. Available at Forzieri for $268.

We get it. You’re a free spirit. Shun “the establishment,” free (safe) love and all that great stuff. So now you need a bag that’ll fit in with your easygoing and against-the-grain lifestyle. And that purse is the Dijon Delivery Bag. With more carrying options than you can fit on one hand, this bag will get you through your summer music festival circuit, those sandy, hot days at Burning Man, and everything in between. Available at ModCloth for $240.

Make those all-important reservations for Ruth’s Chris, because you’ve got a bag to show off! The appropriately named ASOS Faux Croc Lady Bag is just begging for a night on the town. Snap it up at ASOS for just $63, and then find yourself a fine gentleman or fellow lady to accompany you on your night of upscale dining.

Remember the part in the first Shrek movie when Lord Farquaad is trying to pick a princess bride, and “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” plays in the background? That’s what runs through my mind when I look at the Kate Spade Lemon Drop Framed Lella Clutch. So if you do, in fact, like pina coladas, make sure you’ve got this little beauty on you while you partake in the exotic drink goodness, preferably in some tropical locale. Available at Kate Spade for $325.

Just imagine the fantastic “swish, swish” noise this must make when you shake it. The Buttercup Clutch is a whole lotta loveliness in purse form. I’m willing to bet the designers took their cues from 1920s fashion, although this wouldn’t be the bag to pair with fringe dresses. Too much. Instead, let the purse take center stage with monochromatic outfits. Available at Anthropologie for $268.
