You can get a super quick fix seasonal bag at H&M for $20, or splurge on a designer piece. Then there’s every price point in between. o Decide on how often you want to swap out your bags. If it’s once a season, you’ll want a versatile warm weather choice. Perhaps a colour, perhaps white, perhaps basket weave. o Decide on the style and size: hobo, tote, cross-body or satchel. o Decide on the hardware: loads of it, or minimal. From here onwards, you can start narrowing your choices down. Hope that makes sense. cciele on "Need Help Finishing An Outfit" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-finishing-an-outfit#post-65753 Sun, 17 May 2009 06:30:14 +0000 cciele 65753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'd add a stack of gold bangles and longish or hoop gold earrings. Doesn't need a cardi, but if you want to add one I'd go for something in the orange or yellow family, to contrast with the olive and give a pop.

In fact, I got my hair cut the other day. Do you have any specific bag and cardi suggestions? Lemme know...

LOVE the gladiators. All it needs is a GREAT bag and perhaps fab earrings. Is your hair still short? You won’t need anything to layer over for outside, but if you’re in AC, I say s/s cardi in coral or denim jacket (in blue or white). devin on "Need Help Finishing An Outfit" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-finishing-an-outfit#post-65718 Sat, 16 May 2009 20:02:56 +0000 devin 65718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you have a Marshall's or TJ Maxx in your area they had some really cute bags and cross-body bags in all types of colors that would look really great with this outfit. lwc on "Need Help Finishing An Outfit" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-finishing-an-outfit#post-65697 Sat, 16 May 2009 16:24:34 +0000 lwc 65697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow!

love the idea of a cute crossbody with this, in a bright color if you decide to go with a denim jacket, and in a neutral, maybe a cognac, if you decide to go with a colorful cardi. <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=332322&CategoryID=35154" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....ryID=35154</a> <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=320674&CategoryID=35154" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....ryID=35154</a> <a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=302670&CategoryID=35154" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....ryID=35154</a> <a href="http://www.lulus.com/products/Melie+Bianco+Sangria+Handbag/11891.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lulus.com/products/.....11891.html</a> <a href="http://www.lulus.com/products/Melie+Bianco+Consort+Saddle+Bag+in+Orange/11257.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lulus.com/products/.....11257.html</a> <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&itemCount=60&startValue=1&selectedProductColor=&sortby=&id=15475742&parentid=W_ACC_BAGS&sortProperties=+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&navCount=486&navAction=poppushpush&color=&pushId=W_ACC_BAGS&popId=WOMENS_ACCESSORIES&prepushId=" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....prepushId=</a> if crossbodies aren't your thing: <a href="http://www.shopruche.com/red-braided-shoulder-bag-p-235.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopruche.com/red-b.....p-235.html</a> <a href="http://www.baghaus.com/product/Louvre-Luv-Me-Not-Hobo/new-handbags" rel="nofollow">http://www.baghaus.com/product.....w-handbags</a> <a href="http://www.baghaus.com/product/Scarlet-Ray-Bag/new-handbags" rel="nofollow">http://www.baghaus.com/product.....w-handbags</a> <a href="http://www.baghaus.com/product/Melie-Bianco-Sophie-Tote/new-handbags" rel="nofollow">http://www.baghaus.com/product.....w-handbags</a> hope that - ALLLLL of that - helps!

Kristen on "Need Help Finishing An Outfit" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-finishing-an-outfit#post-65661 Sat, 16 May 2009 09:54:59 +0000 Kristen 65661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the idea of a cardigan in tomato or mustard with that! The shades would be nicely complementary to the olive and ivory. I am terrible at hunting those kind of things down with links, sorry. But you might want to try Nordstroms as they've had a lot of great red pieces this season. lwc on "Need Help Finishing An Outfit" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-finishing-an-outfit#post-65653 Sat, 16 May 2009 07:50:25 +0000 lwc 65653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Okay...I'm liking this outfit so far. I just need some help finishing it. I'm weak at this. I'm thinking maybe a cardigan in mustard or tomato (can I get fries with that???) and some kind of bag. Or a denim jacket and a colorful bag. Although I'd love a denim jacket, it seems a bit impractical in AZ right now. What to do? What to do??? The tee is ivory, with olive and mahogany graphics. The skirt is olive. The glads are gold: <a href="http://i664.photobucket.com/albums/vv9/wifeybug/DSC02969.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i664.photobucket.com/al.....C02969.jpg</a> Links to specific items are most welcome.
