Joy’s silver wrap is now on my radar. . .The other thing to remember especially as the years go by is that silver will increasingly bookend your hair. That means that you and I will be able to up the amount of silver without looking OTT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much/page/2#post-1923062 Sun, 27 May 2018 16:44:07 +0000 Carla 1923062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your new wardrobe pet, JAileen!

But that would be true of ALL the accessory choices and not defined by matching shoes and bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much/page/2#post-1922710 Sat, 26 May 2018 14:53:58 +0000 Jane 1922710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely not too much! I think that you might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but then the reassurance of compliments would make it feel perfect. You are BOUND to get praise with the bag. Gorgeous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922706 Sat, 26 May 2018 14:49:28 +0000 Anonymous 1922706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have dreamed of having a monochromatic outfit of silver , probably silver jeans, striped top with silver as on color stripe, silver jacket, bag, belt and shoes. I also have silver socks that I wear with silver sneakers and a silver scarf from Nordstroms last fall. If they can see me from the space station, at least I'm not invisible! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922697 Sat, 26 May 2018 14:31:07 +0000 Angie 1922697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good heavens no. Get the bag and wear the matching shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922696 Sat, 26 May 2018 14:30:55 +0000 kkards 1922696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>metallic purse and shoes for the win! personally, i'd probably add a metallic&nbsp;belt as well... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922691 Sat, 26 May 2018 14:21:20 +0000 JAileen 1922691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all very much. The concensus is shoes and bag are okay together. Cindy, I’m imagining a Devo hat in silver. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922589 Sat, 26 May 2018 09:57:52 +0000 StyleDetective 1922589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely not too much. I reckon go out into the world and shine!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922582 Sat, 26 May 2018 09:47:01 +0000 Mainelady 1922582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should probably refrain from answering, as I tend to be very comfortable wearing metallic shoes, bags and jewelry at the same time. If I had a metallic jacket I would skip the bag, as that would be a larger item. I say go with your comfort level and smile your way out the door! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922567 Sat, 26 May 2018 07:26:49 +0000 karen13 1922567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous purse. I look forward to seeing the outfits. Metallic Purse plus shoes sounds perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922540 Sat, 26 May 2018 04:55:52 +0000 Anonymous 1922540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, not too much. I make a point of wearing silver or gold metallic shoes with the same sort of metallic bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922512 Sat, 26 May 2018 02:47:34 +0000 cindysmith 1922512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too much at all. Now, if you wore silver shoes and carried this silver bag while wearing metallic pants and a lamè blouse and big blinged out jewelry and a silver hat, it might be a bit much in a Tin Man kind of way.<br /> But this bag with matchy shoes would be pretty to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922487 Sat, 26 May 2018 01:53:52 +0000 Dianna 1922487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too much, and it is a gorgeous bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922486 Sat, 26 May 2018 01:53:49 +0000 JAileen 1922486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys are pretty funny!

Says the one with silver shoes, bag, belt, pullover, T-shirt, watch, earrings, necklace, bracelet, scarf, etc. I have both magpie and matchy-matchy genes so I tend to like shoes and bag to match or *go* or shoes and bag to do so. My silver clutch doesn’t hold much and my silver tote is broken so hasn’t seen action in ages but I wear my silver toned watches and jewelry without giving them a second thought.</p> <p>Oh, I am pretty maximal and wear little color so metallic silver is like a color to me to give more life to all the gray I wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922422 Fri, 25 May 2018 22:38:08 +0000 bj1111 1922422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>can they see you from the international space station?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>if no, then it's not too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922418 Fri, 25 May 2018 22:37:09 +0000 Anonymous 1922418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too much? God no. &nbsp;Great bag !&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922416 Fri, 25 May 2018 22:30:09 +0000 JAileen 1922416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear fabbers, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I’m so glad that you think it isn’t too much, especially since I received the bag this week! I have bought and returned a number of silver bags that turned out to be the wrong size, wrong color, or had leather that didn’t feel good, etc. This one is identical to a baby blue one I bought a couple years ago, except for the color, and it feels fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922415 Fri, 25 May 2018 22:26:44 +0000 jussie 1922415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think two pieces together is great. &nbsp;For me, three pieces together is when it looks a little much to my eye, however this does depend how large the items are. &nbsp;I think some little silver earrings would be fine with a silver bag and shoes, but a large silver statement necklace might be too much.... &nbsp;Depends how maximal you like your style to be too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922407 Fri, 25 May 2018 21:40:49 +0000 Joyce B 1922407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is not too much metallic with the shoes. I have a silver bag that I use with everything. When something matches it I am extra happy.<br /> Enjoy your new bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922404 Fri, 25 May 2018 21:25:06 +0000 Cardiff girl 1922404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice bag!l would have no problem wearing more than one metallic item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-metallic-is-too-much#post-1922401 Fri, 25 May 2018 21:01:26 +0000 Aida 1922401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd definitely wear them together!
