You must look stunning in them.<br />I am with the majority on the holo bag.The camera bag is great, but to me it is a bit more casual. Both pairs of earrings are great, choose which ever you feel for. You have such a great style so whatever you pick on each night cannot go wrong.&nbsp;<br />I also look forward to pictures, if you choose to share.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030598 Tue, 28 May 2019 02:51:49 +0000 kellygirl 2030598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for the holo bag. I would never have thought of that. It's beautiful. You're going to look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030597 Tue, 28 May 2019 02:37:00 +0000 Bijou 2030597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I am pleased not to need a new bag. The holographic bag cost me A$18 so about US$12. I saw it and thought it was fun, but then started second guessing myself. Thank you for the help and I will take pictures of the black tie outfits, I may have to enlist my husband to take photos.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030594 Tue, 28 May 2019 02:10:35 +0000 Kathie 2030594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the holographic bag. Diamond earrings with the first dress, either pair for the garden theme, and pink for the breast cancer event. Can’t wait to see your pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030587 Tue, 28 May 2019 01:27:29 +0000 taylor 2030587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, the glamour!<br /> I love seeing people all dressed up for events , and getting ready is the fun part !<br /> I just think anything you choose will knock it out of the park </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030586 Tue, 28 May 2019 01:25:47 +0000 Jaime 2030586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am impressed with how many balls you have to attend in the near future. I am not sure I have attended a single ball in my life - certainly not in a very long time. I love the holo bag and think you have your plan sorted beautifully. Hope we get to see pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030567 Mon, 27 May 2019 23:14:00 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2030567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the camera bag best, then the hologram clutch. And the diamond earrings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030564 Mon, 27 May 2019 23:05:33 +0000 Angie 2030564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the holo. It IS a perfect match is an awfully fun way. And sooooo with you about the phone.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can't go wrong with either pair of earrings. See what tickles your fancy on the day, and run with that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030562 Mon, 27 May 2019 23:00:02 +0000 Brooklyn 2030562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I agree with you about clutches. Some of them are so small. If they can’t fit a phone they are no good to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030559 Mon, 27 May 2019 22:49:56 +0000 Brooklyn 2030559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the holo bag too. You will look fabulous. (Love that Moss and Spy dress). I think both earrings will work. I’d go with whatever mood you are in on the night. And did I mention that you will look fabulous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030555 Mon, 27 May 2019 22:25:11 +0000 nemosmom 2030555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a gorgeous collection of dresses and sparkly bits! I like the holo bag best and think both earrings would easily work beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030546 Mon, 27 May 2019 20:48:03 +0000 JAileen 2030546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would definitely use the holographic bag with your sparkly shoes. Either pair of earrings would look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030543 Mon, 27 May 2019 20:38:43 +0000 Gigi 2030543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely use the holo bag...I think the new purchase is too casual, as you suspected.</p> <p>I prefer the pink earrings if you're going to be wearing the pink shoes. I really like to tie accent colors together in an outfit that way. Although if you're carrying the clutch, maybe that would provide a sufficient match for the shoes, and you could wear the diamonds. Sorry, I'm no help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030536 Mon, 27 May 2019 19:41:59 +0000 Jenni NZ 2030536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with bj1111 that the pink sparkly earrings would make the whole outfit tie together best. I don’t *think* they’re too casual? Of course wear the others if you feel like it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030533 Mon, 27 May 2019 19:22:37 +0000 bj1111 2030533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>holo clutch with the shoe-matching earrings for color cohesion.</p> <p>if you are still in the market for a large-ish clutch...this will accommodate an iphone 8&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com.au/Fawziya-Clutch-Leather-Evening-Clutches-Apricot/dp/B07BT5QYV8/ref=sr_1_28?keywords=drawstring%2Bevening%2Bbag&amp;qid=1558984739&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-28&amp;th=1"><a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/Fawziya-Clutch-Leather-Evening-Clutches-Apricot/dp/B07BT5QYV8/ref=sr_1_28" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com.au/Fawz.....ef=sr_1_28</a>?</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030532 Mon, 27 May 2019 19:19:34 +0000 Jenni NZ 2030532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your own bag suits the shoes way better. Their bag is not dressy enough. So fun!<br /> I want to attend all events! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030505 Mon, 27 May 2019 16:16:58 +0000 Anonymous 2030505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes definitely the holo bag And I like the pink glitter earrings-though all options work well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030502 Mon, 27 May 2019 15:47:24 +0000 Bonnie 2030502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you can go wrong with any of your options. Agree with those who say, "looking forward to photos". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030501 Mon, 27 May 2019 15:35:18 +0000 Janet 2030501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Sarah about the logo on the bag. I love the holographic bag and think it works well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030485 Mon, 27 May 2019 14:38:21 +0000 SarahD8 2030485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the above suggestions! I think the camera bag will work with the shoes too for future outfits.<br /> I would skip the new bag. This is maybe my own idiosyncrasy, but I think the prominent logo casualizes the bag and makes it less posh to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030483 Mon, 27 May 2019 14:28:41 +0000 ChristelJ 2030483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agee, holographic clutch is fantastic! I think diamonds for outfit 1 and 2, and pink for 3.<br /> How incredible are these dresses! Just gorgeous. I am just swooning over the third dress especially. And how wonderful you have a life where you can attend multiple balls and wear your pretty shiny things. You will look like a million bucks. Hope to see pics of the completed outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030481 Mon, 27 May 2019 14:15:26 +0000 Carla 2030481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holographic clutch is the bomb! I like it best for all the combinations (IMHO.) Pink or diamond earings for outfit #1, diamonds for #2, pink for #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-outfits-and-question-of-bags-and-shoes#post-2030478 Mon, 27 May 2019 13:59:04 +0000 Bijou 2030478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my last post with my new glitter shoes, Angie asked me if I had a wardrobe pet. I have two existing bags that can work with the shoes, but are not a perfect match.</p> <p>The company that made the shoes (Mimco), did make a bag that is the same colour, but my issue is that it is similar to a bag that I currently have.</p> <p>If I bought the new bag, it would be useful because I wear pink and berry colours...but whether I should try to find a pink glitter bag is a possibility.</p> <p>The main issue I have with evening clutches is most will not hold my large iPhone. For me that is simply non-negotiable. I need my iPhone at all times to phone home or call for transport - so super mini bags and tiny box clutches are out.</p> <p>Photo 1 - my shoes and earrings, nail polish and lipstick - the pink glitter earrings may be too casual to wear to a ball, but are a fun match for the shoes.</p> <p>Photo 2 &amp; 3 - Holographic bag with shoes. Not a match, but tonally they work together.</p> <p>Photo 4 - Shoes with a purple camera bag that I currently own.</p> <p>Photo 5 - the potential purchase. A perfect colour match to my shoes - but is it too similar to my existing bag and possibly too casual to wear to black tie events?</p> <p>So YLF wisdom:</p> <p>1. Which earrings - pink or diamonds?<br />2. Which bag - holographic or purple camera bag?<br />3. Should I buy the matching leather bag?</p> <p>I have 3 black tie events coming up, the plan is as follows:<br />1. A conservative dinner, black tie invitation, but many women are likely to be dressed in cocktail attire (dress 1 black with silver flecks, more fitted on me)<br />2. Work ball, Garden of Eden theme - the attire will range from full length gowns to cocktail dresses - dress 2 to be worn<br />3. Boobalicious ball - a Charity ball to support breast cancer survivors. Clothing and formality ranges, but from photos of prior balls, lots of cleavage and skin on show. Pink and purple are breast cancer survivor colours, so the shoes are perfect for that one. Dress 3 for that ball, the dress is backless, so I am showing some skin at the back, the length is longer on me.</p> <p>All dresses to be worn with a black feather jacket. </p>
