It has a great muted color that acts as both an neutral AND a color. The design is really pretty. I think it looks great with all the coats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551661 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 16:17:09 +0000 Isabel 551661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted yes. I love the color. It is unusual and one of those hard to peg colors because it morphs and dovetails with so much. I love it with the cobalt blue. I think being patient paid off Sveta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551627 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:20:23 +0000 Anonymous 551627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When you place it next to your colorful coats, it appears almost grey. It definitely works like a neutral in this situation. I love the size and shape. You'd be able to carry it well into spring, too I would think. Great eye for quality and the value seems very good, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551614 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:58:00 +0000 Lisa 551614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This works for me, because although it is not a neutral color, it is a muted color which takes this to neutral territory for me. I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551609 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:52:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 551609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the classic shape and hardware on this bag Sveta - it has a slight retro feel to it, which you know I LOVE!!! As for the colour, I think it works almost as a neutral and I actually like it with all of your coats. FWIW, I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551565 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:01:47 +0000 missvee 551565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say keep it. It's a great style and a good muted almost-neutral colour that will work with your coats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551563 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 13:58:38 +0000 MNsara 551563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great shape and size! That's no small task to find a *good* one, and I think you did really well. </p> <p>I like the muted teal, it isn't an expected color, nor is it a summer bright that can be tough going with other colors. I think you'll find this pretty versatile.</p> <p>I don't trust my computer colors here because the nuances of tones can make a difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551550 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:48:49 +0000 Anonymous 551550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love the bag. I like it the most - on my screen at least - with cobalt . reads very analogous or "ton sur ton".<br /> But you will be able to wear it summer/spring whit blazers/blouses. How does it work with them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551534 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:04:55 +0000 Jjsloane 551534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the style, size and shape of it. Not totally loving the muted color although it is neutral and can work. It's just a like for me, but I'm just not a muted color person. If this were brighter or cognac I'd be in love with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551531 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 10:54:25 +0000 Vildy 551531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This color makes the crossbody style ultra classy, I think.<br /> I'm trying to say that this is a clever and good thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551501 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 08:40:52 +0000 gradfashionista 551501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree about the purse looking neutral depending on what you wear with it. One idea might be to play around with the colour contrasts by tying a scarf around the purse, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551500 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 08:01:23 +0000 Deborah 551500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a gorgeous bag and I see this working as a neutral too. I don't think my screen is showing the true color as it also looks olive to me in some pics. I think it is a keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551493 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 07:11:44 +0000 Kate 551493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great bag, Sveta, and I love the color. It reads as a neutral to me, and works nicely with all your coats. Don't hesitate; buy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551443 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 04:36:45 +0000 Jenava 551443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even if it doesn't match with everything, it's too beautiful and too good of a price to pass up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551442 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 04:35:11 +0000 ManidipaM 551442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, that's a great lucky find! </p> <p>I too, like Rae, tend to use colours like muted teal, olive green and cordovan red as simultaneously neutral and 'coloured'. I think with the cobalt, the saturation of the coat is in fact demoting the teal to a neutral in comparison, being analogous colours. On the other hand, red brings out more of the green in it. </p> <p>I'd have fun with its chameleon colour personalities, making it a definite 'KEEP'!</p> <p>As for the shape eing '60s, I have to say I recall having the identical shape and size in matte burnished gold in the 1990s! Definitely a classic shape, then? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551434 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 04:15:22 +0000 taylor 551434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving structured bags lately...I am getting mine out these days...Super fab Sveta!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551431 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 04:12:28 +0000 Anonymous 551431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You mom might be about my age. I remember those bags but still love the shape and structure more than a "hobo" style especially. The color looks almost grey next to the cobalt on my monitor and nearly a neutral. Actually isn't teal a neutral? I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551427 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 04:03:26 +0000 Jem 551427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks like a neutral. I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551424 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 03:58:13 +0000 shoppingisfun 551424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Assuming the colors on my screen are true-to-life, I think it looks good with all the coats except the red one (too Christmassy). </p> <p>Nice bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551414 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 03:39:03 +0000 Sveta 551414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, it does look analogous with cobalt - and more green too.<br /> Jewell, it is strange that you think that I have good eye for handbags: usually I have really hard time buying them because it is so difficult for me to fall in love with them!<br /> Rae, this is what I hoped for too that this dark and muted teal can be almost a neutral.<br /> BTW, I was shopping with my mom today and when I snatched this bag and asked her what she thinks she said that she does not like the shape as it reminds her of the bags she owned in her youth in 60s. LOL - this is exactly what attracted me to this bag - its classic and simple form! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551407 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 03:19:28 +0000 rae 551407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often use muted teal as a neutral, kind of like burgundy and rust in my wardrobe. I also like close color combos, so the teal with cobalt is very pretty to my eye. I also love that decorative lock, so I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551404 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 03:16:24 +0000 Victoria 551404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Sveta. I love its classic Kelly shape! Personally I prefer crossbody bags because its so functional! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551402 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 03:14:16 +0000 Jewell 551402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The size and shape of that bag are perfect! Just gorgeous! You have a great eye for handbags. On my screen the color reads almost like an olive, so I'm having a hard time judging. But if you're worried that it clashes with any particular coat, you could add a silk scarf to the handle that sort of ties all of the colors together and makes it look intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551391 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 02:42:24 +0000 Sveta 551391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, it is gorgeous...but way out of my price range </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551387 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 02:40:59 +0000 Sarah A 551387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is alright with the cobalt, but here it is much more of an analogous look not the "pop" it has with the other colors. I keep going back and forth between pics #2 and #4 and it is hard to tell what is true to real life, if either, on my monitor. So I would recommend to trust your "in person" instinct. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551385 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 02:39:06 +0000 annagybe 551385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I'm not sure if Piperlime ships to Canada and this is a lot more but sigh, gorgeous.</p> <p><a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=39767&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=887581&#038;scid=887581002" rel="nofollow">http://piperlime.gap.com/brows.....=887581002</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-have-been-looking-for-a-croos-body-bag-for-ages#post-551377 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 02:29:33 +0000 Sveta 551377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, cobalt was the one I was not sure about too.<br /> Velma, thanks!<br /> Victoria, this is L.
