I love those boots and that handbag is divine!!!,Hugs,Paula,XXX Bijou on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown/page/2#post-2394966 Thu, 04 Sep 2025 05:34:10 +0000 Bijou 2394966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a great score! Kate Spade bags are fabulous; I have two satchels that have had years of use and still are in good condition. I particularly love that shade of cognac brown too - just so lovely with whites and denim and whilst not a colour match for my light blonde hair, it matches tonally. Suz on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown/page/2#post-2394793 Mon, 01 Sep 2025 20:26:00 +0000 Suz 2394793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is just lovely! And what a great way to get a terrific bag at a good price. I think this sometimes happens with bags -- people only afterwards realize the size or colour isn't quite right for them -- and they can't return. And with a bag, the risks are so much lower than with some other items. Of course in this case it was new and unused, so even better!  Angie on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown/page/2#post-2394780 Mon, 01 Sep 2025 15:07:02 +0000 Angie 2394780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, everyone! :)  Poshmark can be worth it - but make sure you know what the return policy before you purchase.

I have stayed away from Poshmark because it intimidates me. I may have to try again. The color is perfection.

It was a great find and deal! This brown is a neutral/natural and a classic genuine leather color and goes with everything-love it how you   styled with the citron shirt in nr 3!

Thank you.  cat2, I like to shop "new with tags" for secondhand too. Olive Green, Go Team Cognac Bag! Like you, I find it versatile. Great with orange! YES to triplicating. See my triplet wardrobe pets below ;)  Olive Green on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown/page/2#post-2394607 Fri, 29 Aug 2025 13:01:42 +0000 Olive Green 2394607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I own three bags and two of them are this colour. They are calling it cognac. Looks good with mustard or orange shoes, as well as browns.  Triplicating new favourite word.  cat2 on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown/page/2#post-2394593 Fri, 29 Aug 2025 03:49:43 +0000 cat2 2394593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yeah, I did new with tags only, only brands or specific things from brands we usually buy, and returnable. So frustrating, I would like this to be a viable option. slim cat on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown/page/2#post-2394589 Fri, 29 Aug 2025 02:09:09 +0000 slim cat 2394589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great score! Love the look #3 with gold shoes - bright, happy and energetic!

I like your wise online purchasing strategy! Appreciate the kind words too :)  Lisa on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown#post-2394580 Fri, 29 Aug 2025 00:18:06 +0000 Lisa 2394580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ *revived* I've never purchased from Poshmark but I have from Ebay and my strategy is to stick with new items with tags. It's just less risky when I can't do a return and I don't know the seller. The new bag is gorgeous and the bag strap is such a delightful addition to the bag. The price made it a slam dunk purchase! Your new brown-ish capsule is coming along nicely! It's fun and inspiring to see how you incorporate these colors into outfits with your brights.

Fascinating. I suspect you need to go in with low expectations. Like the NAS!  Carol, those are great tips! Good to know.  Style Fan, aha! More mixed success. That's the way it goes.... bonnie and Sharan, thanks so much! My fingers are crossed I'll find the right whiskey boots :)  LPJ, yes to Poshmark's overwhelming amount of items! Personally, I'll stick to items that I know when purchasing secondhand online. AND I want them to be new! Less risky.  Lisa on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown#post-2394568 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 23:55:40 +0000 Lisa 2394568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ *passes out from matchy matchy perfection* Jaime on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown#post-2394562 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 22:51:45 +0000 Jaime 2394562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well you can imagine my delighted smile when I saw the title of this post . The bag looks perfect for you and on you - I am so glad you had a good experience. I am sorry there have been so many bad experiences reported on this thread. LJP I think I might have a thing or two to suggest, I will see what I can come up with . LJP on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown#post-2394558 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 22:42:59 +0000 LJP 2394558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great timing!  Just this morning I was  composing a post in my head to ask for everyone's best tips for online resale shopping . I have purchased 2 things through Poshmark but found them completely by accident . The searching intimidates me due to the sheer number of items on the site.  And what if I don't know exactly which brand or label I might consider?   Anyways, that's a lovely bag and a nice price too!   Style Fan on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown#post-2394552 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 22:28:49 +0000 Style Fan 2394552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous bag, Angie!  I have purchased a few items on Poshmark, and about half of them are winners.   Firecracker (Sharan) on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown#post-2394546 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 21:53:56 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2394546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Perfect! What luck, Angie. Maybe this is a good sign that your cognac booties will find you soon!  Bonnie on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown#post-2394545 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 21:52:39 +0000 Bonnie 2394545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the bag and the straps are so cool!  Carol on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown#post-2394541 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 21:25:21 +0000 Carol 2394541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie--also, another great tip, if you have not discovered already, is the "offer" section. You can make a lower offer, but what I like to do is wait for the seller. I will scroll through a category of something I want, say "t-shirt dresses," and by the time I use the like button on 8 or 10 of them, I have usually gotten a couple of lower offers from sellers. Sometimes it's only items you are less interested in, but usually it's something I am interested in.   Carla on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown#post-2394538 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 21:10:46 +0000 Carla 2394538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I’ve spent all summer looking for the right sandal in just that colour of brown!  Congratulations on sourcing a beautiful bag at a great price, and I’m glad to learn your second hand experience was a good one. Carol on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown#post-2394537 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 21:08:29 +0000 Carol 2394537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Poshmark mostly works. I shop there more than any other place, and yes--brand new stuff is easy to find. I wanted some Naturalizer heels yesterday, and saw so many that were brand new, at half the price. Hence why I shop there a lot! Once in a while, a seller is unresponsive or shady. The advice I got from an employee is to concentrate on items that have been posted or updated very recently. Such a gorgeous bag, and I think I am most impressed with the strap that you chose, having the same color. And great with the shoes! Angie on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown#post-2394535 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 21:00:41 +0000 Angie 2394535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ginger, I like your description of Golden Brown! HIGH FIVE. And good job doing well with Poshmark. Luck on your side Angie on "First Poshmark Purchase: MY Brown" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-poshmark-purchase-my-brown#post-2394534 Thu, 28 Aug 2025 20:58:49 +0000 Angie 2394534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the kind words Mijana and Jenni! You'll sport this brown soon I hope :) Irina and Janet, you are wise to be careful with Poshmark. You win some - and you loose some secondhand shopping this way. I'm about to return an item so we'll see how that goes. I'm not buying from the TRR again. You are out $25 each time an item does not work because they charge for shipping. And, items are often not returnable.  JAileen, it's crapshoot, isn't it! British Tan works well too ;)
