I think I will order the booties to at least try. The heel is not high but it has been enough to put me off of these before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2050290 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 17:04:37 +0000 Tammyb 2050290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I agree with Isabel. I think the style of the booties in your Find works better, this making up for not an exact color match. I think that the initial pic of the loafers looks off to my eye because it seems like a more buttoned up style that that bag. </p> <p>Btw- I love the bag too. Great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2050288 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 16:58:55 +0000 Anonymous 2050288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are all so wise. These are great suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2050254 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 14:09:30 +0000 Anonymous 2050254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The loafers are complementary <i>enough</i> to my eye, color, texture and metal finish but the shoes are more dressy. Mixing styles is not my strong suit and in this case I'd probably be more focused on complementing the style rather than the materials.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2050253 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 13:58:46 +0000 nemosmom 2050253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great bag (and shoes), Joy! But agree that if you are wanting more of a match to keep looking. What about a metallic shoe that coordinates with the hardware of the bag? </p> <p>(disclaimer: I am terrible at matching, myself) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2050233 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 10:15:07 +0000 Jenni NZ 2050233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Joy it’s really difficult trying to exactly match. I often try to and it’s wonderful when it works. But I would make sure that whichever shoes you choose can be worn with several outfits and not just that bag. Ask me how I know.<br /> The bag is lovely BTW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2050133 Sat, 03 Aug 2019 00:04:57 +0000 Anonymous 2050133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Jane. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2050049 Fri, 02 Aug 2019 20:21:05 +0000 Jane 2050049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute bag, perfect size, nice styling. It would be great to find the perfect shoes with it; I like the idea of snakeskin.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2050030 Fri, 02 Aug 2019 19:31:17 +0000 Anonymous 2050030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suntiger I have also thought of using brown polish on black shoes or black polish on brown. You are right. The bag has a grey tone too. The color seemed quite versatile. I like your bootie examples. I would need to find a flat or really low heeled version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2050024 Fri, 02 Aug 2019 19:23:12 +0000 Anonymous 2050024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe? They seem a bit more grey though. I'm actually toying with the idea of overdyeing shoes with shoe polish atm, so that could be a thought too. Maybe a dark snake is an option too, like this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2050023 Fri, 02 Aug 2019 19:19:15 +0000 Anonymous 2050023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie and Lisa, thank you for keeping me real. I love the idea of brushed gold shoes or low contrast leopard and need to dig out my leopard booties to see how they would look.<br /> Would the booties in the find below work ( from NAS)? I also added a find photo of the bag for comparison. The color on my monitor is pretty accurate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2050016 Fri, 02 Aug 2019 19:04:19 +0000 Anonymous 2050016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto! How about low contrast leopard to go with bag? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2049998 Fri, 02 Aug 2019 18:29:20 +0000 Anonymous 2049998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Angie. The two don't really relate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2049997 Fri, 02 Aug 2019 18:28:20 +0000 Angie 2049997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute items, but I vote keep looking for a better match or go brushed gold on the shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-attempt-at-shoebag-compliment#post-2049988 Fri, 02 Aug 2019 18:03:14 +0000 Anonymous 2049988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this handmade bag at an art fair this spring. It has a brass chain strap that allow it to be worn cross-body, shoulder, or as a front or back backpack. The color is a textured natural mix of brown and black. I am looking for shoes to wear this fall with it. I found these comfortable Naturalizer loafers in a textured black. Shall I keep or keep looking? I do want to find a pair of booties to compliment for winter. What do you think of the loafers with the bag? Keep or keep looking? </p>
