I like your bag style; it is classic, but not plain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-help-keep-toss-signature-style#post-117221 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 21:06:05 +0000 garmenta 117221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for color! Love the thought of a red--something deep and saturated to take full advantage of the texture of leather.</p> <p>Also a vote for embellishment, in moderation--buckles, grommets, gathers. Adds visual interest, especially if your outfits are classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-help-keep-toss-signature-style#post-117196 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 19:28:57 +0000 Sarah 117196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, so I love your DB bag. I would wear it with a floral sundress, moto linen or leather jacket (in cream or khaki) and strappy sandals. Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-help-keep-toss-signature-style#post-117112 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:19:20 +0000 Queen Mum 117112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my vote is to keep the evening bags- like Angie said, they aren't terribly hip, but with the right outfit I see them working. I really like the red one with the little flowers. </p> <p>yellow bag- keep</p> <p>D&amp;B- that one looks dated to me...</p> <p>Buttery leather- I'm not crazy about this one either, but if you get compliments on it, it might be working for you.</p> <p>9 west bag- toss.</p> <p>lol- it's so much easier to toss other peoples stuff I have an old old old backpack purse that I keep just because it's great to have at Disneyland. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-help-keep-toss-signature-style#post-117107 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:10:11 +0000 jessica 117107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe add something in a cool color, since you mostly have warm colors? Blue, green, teal, blue gray or a purple gray? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-help-keep-toss-signature-style#post-117067 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 11:56:39 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 117067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone for your feedback. The first cut was easy for me, but when it got down to just a handful of bags, I needed YLF approval. ;-)</p> <p>Angie - If my winter boots are red, does a red handbag make it too matchy-matchy? Actually, I think I might remember an MOTG formula where you feathered red boots and red purse, so maybe I have my answer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-help-keep-toss-signature-style#post-117058 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 09:22:56 +0000 rute 117058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep only the yellow bag and give away all the rest. The last two seems too old, the first one (evening bags) too dated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-help-keep-toss-signature-style#post-117057 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 09:16:29 +0000 Louise 117057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Evening bags- i'm not keen<br /> yellow bag- LOVE<br /> D7B bag- Lovely would it work as a cross body bag?<br /> Buttery leather- LOVE it<br /> 9 West- the kids at work have 2 similar in the dressing up box!!!! nuff said!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-help-keep-toss-signature-style#post-117032 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 05:07:00 +0000 Angie 117032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, MPJ! Pass on the Nine West bag and keep the rest. </p> <p>The evening bags are okay, not terribly hip, but not dated either. Add a clutch when you say goodbye to those. </p> <p>I vote an everyday RED handbag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/handbag-help-keep-toss-signature-style#post-116957 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 01:45:40 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 116957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just purged 6 bags, and these are the survivors...</p> <p>* <a href="http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz39/Mamapicklejuice/Handbag%20Collection/IMG_3657.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i811.photobucket.com/al.....G_3657.jpg</a><br /> 2 evening bags - too dated? Hard to tell the scale here, but they are on the smaller side (but not too twee).</p> <p>* <a href="http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz39/Mamapicklejuice/Handbag%20Collection/IMG_3656.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i811.photobucket.com/al.....G_3656.jpg</a><br /> medium size yellow leather bag - a TJ Maxx find - I use it in the summer</p> <p>* <a href="http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz39/Mamapicklejuice/Handbag%20Collection/IMG_3655.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i811.photobucket.com/al.....G_3655.jpg</a><br /> Dooney &amp; Bourke shoulder bag - 20 years old? Sentimental, but probably dated in color and style? Or is it a "classic" D&amp;B style?</p> <p>* <a href="http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz39/Mamapicklejuice/Handbag%20Collection/IMG_3654.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i811.photobucket.com/al.....G_3654.jpg</a><br /> Buttery leather - another TJ Maxx score. I always get compliments on it when i go out - but I have no idea why I bought it - it's so not my style, is it? I haven't posted any casual pix - only Sunday and party wear.</p> <p>* <a href="http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz39/Mamapicklejuice/Handbag%20Collection/IMG_3653.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i811.photobucket.com/al.....G_3653.jpg</a><br /> Standard nylon fabric 9 West bag - 10 years old? I'm just bored with it, really, but it's usable.</p> <p>So, there's my paltry collection.</p> <p>What do you guys think? What's missing from my collection? What is my handbag style - what should it be? It's a bit schezophrenic, right now. I would like to invest in one or two nice bags - I'm not one to change every day or even every week or month. More like, once or twice a season, or for evening vs day.</p> <p>I'm eager to hear your thoughts. Thanks! </p>
