I have those because some guy had a car fire and took a bunch of stuff out of his trunk and put it along the road. I'd been by that spot off and on for about a month and finally stopped. I guess I was the only one that did because their was some good stuff abandon there.&nbsp; Nike sneakers that turned out to be just my size a large insulated bag I used for my cycling gear for a while till it came apart. The rest of my shoes are various ones Some hiking boots, some nice town shoes, work boots. Typically I wear water shoes, I do throw in some Dr Scholl's insoles as they don't have much arch support. I just really like the look.&nbsp; Of course a hand bag isn't much use to a man I guess my various waist packs are the closest I have to that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-discuss-handbags-and-trainers-sneakers-please#post-2273895 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 16:28:03 +0000 RoseandJoan 2273895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz and KKards</p> <p>In the end I used the tooled leather clutch as I was in the mood for the extra contrast.</p> <p>So glad I wore the trainers as the hill in heels would have been brutal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-discuss-handbags-and-trainers-sneakers-please#post-2273400 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 19:07:50 +0000 kkards 2273400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that me &amp; ‘‘em blouse. &nbsp; I love mixing dressy and casual, so for me &nbsp;any of the bags work. &nbsp;But I’ll also add that I never worry about matching my bag with my shoes, I worry about my bag being practical for what I’m doing, ie will it hold what I need for x event, how will I carry the bag. &nbsp; Now, I do worry about matching by shoes and my belt, but that’s just me, lol&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-discuss-handbags-and-trainers-sneakers-please#post-2273395 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 18:14:50 +0000 Suz 2273395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all those bags for the outfit (and in themselves!). My first thought was the black but I see how the others could work well with your hair, too, and I also get the hands-free desire!&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear my backpacks more often than not (alas!) but also pair my sneakers with a few other dressier bags on occasion... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-discuss-handbags-and-trainers-sneakers-please#post-2273392 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 17:32:56 +0000 phoebe 2273392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black Whistles looks the sportiest to me and so would be my first choice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-discuss-handbags-and-trainers-sneakers-please#post-2273376 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 15:20:06 +0000 RoseandJoan 2273376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good thinking Jaime, the Furla would be hands free so probably the easiest option. </p> <p>Thanks for the reassurance Angie, I think from an ease point of view the Furla will nudge it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-discuss-handbags-and-trainers-sneakers-please#post-2273364 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 14:15:40 +0000 Angie 2273364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like <b>Jaime</b>, I like all three options too! The black matches the shoes, and the others are a subtle match with your hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-discuss-handbags-and-trainers-sneakers-please#post-2273314 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 07:59:46 +0000 Jaime 2273314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all three options. The last one picks up the lettering in the sneakers and contrasts nicely with the cool outfit, but I would probably go for the one most comfortable to carry if you are walking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-discuss-handbags-and-trainers-sneakers-please#post-2273312 Fri, 22 Jul 2022 07:24:24 +0000 RoseandJoan 2273312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your response Angie, I know how incredibly busy NAS is for you :)</p> <p>Looking at the size restrictions for bags I have three contenders.</p> <p>1 The greige Furla<br /> 2 The black cube Whistles bag (this is the one which I feel maybe a little too dressy)<br /> 3 The tooled leather clutch </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-discuss-handbags-and-trainers-sneakers-please#post-2273266 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 22:42:14 +0000 Angie 2273266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! Yay, date night, <b>Jules</b>!</p> <p>Your outfit looks fab! (Hope you survived the heatwave yesterday. Good grief. Like us last year. 43C in Seattle).</p> <p>Like the peek of black cami to match the sneakers. A dressy bag is great with the look! That is all I wear. How about a black bag?&nbsp;</p> <p>My own sneaker and bag complements: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-discuss-handbags-and-trainers-sneakers-please#post-2273254 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 21:59:08 +0000 RoseandJoan 2273254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carla, I do have a Furla small grieve cross body. I'm this peek of black camisole could bookend the footwear.</p> <p>I'll take a couple of photos of my handbag options tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-discuss-handbags-and-trainers-sneakers-please#post-2273252 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 21:49:19 +0000 Carla 2273252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I&nbsp;don’t know what you’ve got for bags, but a grey reptile print (if you’ve got one) would bookend your hair (I think) pick up the cool tones of your shirt and jeans, and if there is some darkness to the print, carry the darkness of the sneakers. &nbsp;On the other hand a plain black nylon bag, like a Longchamps LePliage. &nbsp;A super casual straw bag could also work. &nbsp;Tie a scarf that marries all the colours to the handle. &nbsp;(This last is my #1 ‘trick’ for pulling a mismatched look together.)</p> <p>My sneakers don’t co-ordinate with my summer bags, &nbsp;but the fruit and flower scarf seems to pull most ‘looks’ together.</p> <div><br /></div><div>Have fun on your date!</p> <p></div><div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-discuss-handbags-and-trainers-sneakers-please#post-2273241 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 21:28:34 +0000 RoseandJoan 2273241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm putting an outfit together for a rare date night with my husband. I'm planning on wearing a ME+EM blue silk, cotton button down, some relaxed slightly cropped bootcut jeans and a pair of black suede Stan Smith Adidas trainers (there's a massive hill between the hotel and theatre so this is the sensible choice) . Although the outfit isn't monochrome the styling will be quite minimal. </p> <p>Would you mind sharing your trainer/ sneaker handbag compliments or how you make a decision on what works? I'm thinking of using a slightly dressier handbag but those old fashion rules are niggling and making me think a more casual handbag may be more appropriate.<br /> <a href="https://m.size.co.uk/product/black-adidas-originals-stan-smith-womens/16470966/?istCompanyId=44259a28-7e2d-45e6-bbfe-b7c7b54af454&#038;istFeedId=d6ad14f8-1d0d-4b87-9572-404a766b2cd2&#038;istItemId=pmmqxpalq&#038;istBid=t&#038;gclid=Cj0KCQjw8uOWBhDXARIsAOxKJ2FbeCxw0PtnQ9tJ6K2EoR37mO_oMxxw1gYdyfzTDQ30pYpWwwVQo58aAiSUEALw_wcB&#038;gclsrc=aw.ds" rel="nofollow">https://m.size.co.uk/product/b.....lsrc=aw.ds</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.meandem.com/silk-cotton-shirt-pale-blue" rel="nofollow">https://www.meandem.com/silk-c.....-pale-blue</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.freepeople.com/shop/relaxed-bootcut-jeans/?utm_source=transact&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_campaign=FP-UK_220717_ship_confirmation&#038;utm_content=product-img&#038;utm_term=fpuk_ppc_shipmentConfirmation&#038;utm_id=6069&#038;sfmc_id=39558444&#038;s2=8ba414e964eeec534e6d20bacf3046eabe9820f6be35a896a1121968e9810603&#038;utm_kxconfid=v2mfri2mb&#038;utm_kxcampaignid=fpuk_ppc_shipmentConfirmation&#038;color=047&#038;type=REGULAR&#038;quantity=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.freepeople.com/sho.....quantity=1</a></p> <p>TIA </p>
