I did a Google search and it gave me a whole slew of different tones for taupe bag.- - and some of them I would call tan or brown or grey. Red is red and black is black but taupe is everything!<br /> Anyway do you mean warm taupe or cool taupe for me?<br /> Or maybe similar to my flat oxfords' color? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-new-bag-but-what-should-it-be/page/2#post-431010 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 02:05:13 +0000 Carole 431010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>taupe, now that would be a great neutral color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-new-bag-but-what-should-it-be/page/2#post-431008 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 02:03:49 +0000 Angie 431008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red is a neutral :)</p> <p>How about a taupe bag, Sveta? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-new-bag-but-what-should-it-be#post-431005 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 02:02:28 +0000 Sveta 431005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I do have a bright very warm red structured bag which I love. This is a better representation of its color in a natural light.<br /> It is just that it does not work with everything in my wardrobe and sometimes I cannot find a good option out of three bags I have. I feel that I need another neutral one which will compliment my existing bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-new-bag-but-what-should-it-be#post-430997 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 01:56:44 +0000 Makrame 430997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking of bright red bags, here is one. Or, since you already have a red bag, here is another color. Unfortunately, I don't see these Botkier bags on sale anywhere (I got a smaller version of this bag for less than half price, which was reasonable, but these are pricy). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-new-bag-but-what-should-it-be#post-430986 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 01:49:36 +0000 Angie 430986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a bright red bag? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-new-bag-but-what-should-it-be#post-430925 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 01:03:47 +0000 Carole 430925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really love #4 above. I think you need a black bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-new-bag-but-what-should-it-be#post-430923 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 01:02:14 +0000 Sveta 430923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all your help!<br /> Isabel, I really like the structured satchel shape for this bag but I like the color and the texture of the tote in your link.<br /> Sara, I like Olivia Harris bag you posted but again a bit more expensive that I am ready to spend now!<br /> Jonesy, deep indigo or snakeskin pattern sound intriguing!<br /> Kyle, that Orealny bag in cognac is lovely but will it work with my cool browns and cobalt blue? Cognac is a warm shade, just more intense than my tan bag.<br /> Erin / Denise, I have seen a burgundy bag in Winners this weekend in a shape close to Orealny bag Kyle posted and was drawn to it. However I am not sure it will work with my wardrobe... the same with moss green...hmm., I am really a bag ignoramus!<br /> elpgal, I wish too! Those Abaco and Furla bags are great - but again, way out of my price range!<br /> Joy, another vote for a reptile print - I would really like that!<br /> Aida, somehow I always pass black bags in the store...I think I need to have enough interest in a black bag to want it - that Furla #4 is pretty close... Metallic charcoal attract me better I think.<br /> Lisa, that sounds lovely - metallic charcoal with texture!<br /> Rae, I was looking for a cream bag all summer and could not find any I like enough to buy. Also do you think it can be used in winter too?<br /> Kate, that's such a list of T.bags - thank you! Unfortunately none of the styles resonate with me - with a possible exception of a golden one.<br /> Una, I like the color, but not the shape: I feel it is hard to rummage in it IYKWIM!:-)<br /> I have posted the pictures of bags from your selection which attract me - looks like they all have similar shapes and styles. Hmm, at least now my search is narrowing down...<br /> I think my biggest problem that bag as a part of an outfit is still a new concept for me. It is also more difficult for me to get excited about a bag than about shoes or clothing - excited enough to want to spend money on it. I need to work on that "bag" area of my brain to get it developed!:-) It also does not help that any bag I get attracted to is prohibitively expensive. So far $100 was the highest price I was ready to pay for a bag.<br /> I am rambling here, don't I? Bag shopping gets me all in knots for sure! Thanks for sharing this burden with me. Now I would feel more confident when I go to look for bags in the store... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-a-new-bag-but-what-should-it-be#post-430869 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 23:40:20 +0000 catgirl 430869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the right pewter is a neutral metallic.
