So glad you got it. Can't wait to see it in action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-combos---cognac-and-cobalt-yn#post-1215630 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 17:42:53 +0000 lyn* 1215630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Harmonica - Make sure to post pics if you decide to go that way! :)</p> <p>@ Aileen - I think textures can offset a bunch of similar colours!</p> <p>@ Leopardluxe - Thanks for giving me a few more ideas how to wear the blue bag. I was torn for the dotty bag, but my sister pointed out my outfits already have a lot of patterns and dots would just add to that instead of a pop of colour! :)</p> <p>@ Nicole D - My staff doc has one and she uses hers daily for at least a year now (I've only known her for about 8 months) and it looks beautiful, holding up well. She got hers in black.</p> <p>@ K - I think you may be right there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-combos---cognac-and-cobalt-yn#post-1215576 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 16:22:41 +0000 Kristin L 1215576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you got it!

I say go for it and get the blue bag. It will work well as a pop of color with more neutral outfits or those using black or gray as well, imho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-combos---cognac-and-cobalt-yn#post-1215519 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 14:14:02 +0000 JAileen 1215519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, cobalt and cognac definitely look good together. I have a mid brown leather jacket that I struggle with, mainly because I don't want a lot of brown leather together, such as jacket, boots, and bag. I seem to want no more than two leather items a similar color. I don't mind if the jacket is a brown wool, though. I have a leather denim blue bag that I'll use in place of a brown bag, for example. Does anyone else think this way? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-combos---cognac-and-cobalt-yn#post-1215391 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 06:21:42 +0000 harmonica 1215391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES!

Since I like hands-free bags with enough room for all my stuff, but also don't want anything that&nbsp;overwhelms my shortness, that's pretty hard to find. P.S. I apologize for hijacking your thread with my own bag ramblings and will stop now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-combos---cognac-and-cobalt-yn#post-1214644 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 03:20:58 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1214644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another suggestion to style my cobalt purse, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-combos---cognac-and-cobalt-yn#post-1214635 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 03:16:41 +0000 catgirl 1214635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-combos---cognac-and-cobalt-yn#post-1214633 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 03:15:23 +0000 lyn* 1214633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, that's a beautiful slouchy bag, Aubergine! I think it will be able to hold a lot but still be able to retain its shape - are you near a Nordies and can see if it's nice to wear on the shoulder? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-combos---cognac-and-cobalt-yn#post-1214622 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 03:02:25 +0000 Beth Ann 1214622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like it will be lovely, Lyn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/colour-combos---cognac-and-cobalt-yn#post-1214614 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 02:44:37 +0000 Anonymous 1214614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, the cobalt one I'm thinking of is actually <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/marc-by-marc-jacobs-too-hot-to-handle-hobo/3329266?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=Deep+Ultraviolet&amp;resultback=7053&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_18_D">this one</a>. (I've liked it for a while and saw it just went on sale, which makes it semi-reasonable pricewise with the addition of a Nordstrom gift card I have.) I'm totally honored that I have similar bag taste as you! And the black/white Minka&nbsp;I have is <a rel="nofollow" href="http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/auc-xapiz/item/pxru4032-002/?s-id=borderless_recommend_item_en">here</a>.

I still use the bag when I do not wear the leather coat, which isn't really that often - so my poor bag gets to stay in my closet.</p> <p>Now that I'm looking to purchase another bag, the one that I like is cobalt blue. What do you ladies think of the combination of cobalt and cognac?&nbsp;</p> <p>It'd be silly of me to purchase another bag that doesn't go with my jacket! Thank you for your thoughts! :)</p> <ol> <li>Kate Spade - Cobble Hill Little Minka (Atlantic Blue)</li> <li>Alternative View</li> <li>Kate Spade - Brighton Park Sloan&nbsp;</li> </ol>
