I wear white all year round. A pop of white looks happy, fun and may even be elegant with a darker outfit. &nbsp;One of the things that I love about Angie and YLF is that there are no hard and fast rules except that fashion and style should be fun. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2105195 Tue, 10 Mar 2020 13:58:59 +0000 Star (Lise) 2105195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why don't I wear a white bag in winter?&nbsp; I am not one who dress only in black in winter - although everyone else in my town does (very depressing to my eye) - but I do find it very bright against my more muted winter colors.&nbsp; I tend to keep white and pink for Spring/Summer, just feels right on me that way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2104836 Mon, 09 Mar 2020 03:01:44 +0000 JAileen 2104836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Notsaf, I used an off white bag today. &nbsp;I wore black pants, off white sweater, off white booties and red jacket (and a scarf). &nbsp;So of course I think off white is appropriate for winter wear. &nbsp;Sorry I didn’t take a picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2104817 Mon, 09 Mar 2020 00:05:24 +0000 Angie 2104817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!</p> <p>I'm an '70s x '80s gal and super happy about trends right now with you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2104801 Sun, 08 Mar 2020 22:14:31 +0000 notsaf 2104801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And given that I'm 70s x 90s, I am a super happy clam about trends right at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2104782 Sun, 08 Mar 2020 20:11:41 +0000 Angie 2104782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AHA.

Haha. Yes I was all silver back in high school but have switched to almost all gold for the last 10 years or so. It's the seventies streak, which I wore vintage even back in the 90's. Will have to think about footware. I haven't ever gone for matchy-matchy... yet.</p> <p>@Nemosmom, good thing to keep in mind: what a bummer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2104569 Sat, 07 Mar 2020 20:38:24 +0000 nemosmom 2104569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back to say: check to see how the chain strap plays with your winter knits and coats.&nbsp; I've had a chain strap crossbody snag a boucle coat... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2104564 Sat, 07 Mar 2020 20:21:03 +0000 Angie 2104564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES.

This would be a out and about bag, which means it needs to hold gloves or sunglasses, a coin purse, phone, earbuds, a pack of tissues, and lip balm. You're right it's on the small side, but I think it's close. My current version is a little bigger, and can even hold a hat, an umbrella, or a notebook, which is nice now that I think of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2104489 Sat, 07 Mar 2020 16:25:32 +0000 Anonymous 2104489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would be perfect for year round. &nbsp;It is certainly a beautiful bag.

It's also a nice dramatic contrast to a dark neutral outfit.

These are great ideas!</p> <p>Star: wondering why you never wear a white bag in winter?</p> <p>Bijou: Good reminder! I do wear dark denim in winter, so that's something to be mindful of if I were to carry with a short coat and brand-new-jeans. SMcC bags are all synthetic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2104422 Sat, 07 Mar 2020 12:13:32 +0000 Bijou 2104422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it for all seasons. I have only "worn out" a select few bags, one was a white bag that I ended up using every day and loved how it freshened up outfits. It was so sad when it wore out, however it made me realise how valuable a white bag is.</p> <p>One word of warning, with white (leather and PU), you do need to be careful that other colours, particularly denim, do not transfer to the bag and stain it. That was one issue with my white bag. As my bag was vinyl I was able to use a bleaching gel on it to get it mainly white again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2104420 Sat, 07 Mar 2020 12:01:44 +0000 April 2104420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the bag to contrast the outfit and also love the drama of "white out".&nbsp; Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2104419 Sat, 07 Mar 2020 11:59:35 +0000 Star (Lise) 2104419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>It </b>will look great with a camel coat, gggrr, sorry for the typo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2104417 Sat, 07 Mar 2020 11:58:16 +0000 Star (Lise) 2104417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will look great with a camel coat, just that I personally never carry a white or cream bag in winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2104414 Sat, 07 Mar 2020 11:45:45 +0000 CarolS 2104414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would look great with a camel coat, maybe paired with a leopard scarf with.lots of white and camel in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-a-winter-bag#post-2104413 Sat, 07 Mar 2020 11:01:09 +0000 notsaf 2104413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking about adding a non-black crossbody to my wardrobe ever since I missed the Clare V python bag at the Nordstrom sale last autumn. I've also always loved Stella McCartney's Star bags, which she seems to have stopped making (in favor of logos bag that I don't prefer to wear), so now might be the time to take the leap.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like neutrals and tend to wear dark ones, but white and cream have a place in my wardrobe year-round.</p> <p>My question: This bag is styled below for summer, but am I wrong to think it would look good as a winter white as well, over a camel or black wool coat, for example? </p> <p>I am all about versatility, especially with a purchase like this that is not absolutely necessary and quite spendy.</p> <p>Thanks for your input!</p>
