A yellow bag was on my list last year but I never found one because I'm not a big spender when it comes to bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-842230 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 18:05:49 +0000 Tina.b 842230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yellow is the perfect option for a bag as it is so difficult to wear, but such a fabulous colour. I love the bag! And you look awesome in a hat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-842149 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:36:48 +0000 rae 842149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both! I am with you and have to wear hats a lot in summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-842122 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:48:41 +0000 Adelfa 842122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, also, I got an ivory vegan purse that was an Angie pick last Spring. I wanted to see how much I would use that color. I found out: a lot. I was very happy with it for about a season and a half, and then I passed it on. For me it was a worthwhile experiment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-842121 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:46:05 +0000 Adelfa 842121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of a color you can't wear but that goes with the colors you do wear. I'm going to have to think about this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-842040 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:21:11 +0000 Susie 842040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The hat looks great on you! I love a yellow bag; as you said, it adds a perfect pop of color. I have one that I got last spring from Anthropologie and I used it a lot and got so many compliments on it. </p> <p>I do like the style of the bag but I have to agree that I am partial to leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-842038 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:19:26 +0000 Beth Ann 842038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, wonderful YLFers! Some of you have recommended leather, and I need to think about this, since one of my style goals is better quality handbags without spending a whole lot more. In summer purses, however, which get carted to the park and on vacation, the easy care of a good look "vegan" (and I don't really do vegan purses, it's just my way of elevating my petroleum-based items). </p> <p>Denise: LOVE The fossil purse, and I've (don't be shocked) never thought of eBay for handbags of better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-842022 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:56:49 +0000 Sarah A 842022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you KNOW i love hats! All kinds! and they are so good to keep the sun off the face. This one looks good and versatile. I want to love the purse, it certainly looks lovely, but I continue to be disappointed by vegan leather products and have pledged not to purchase vegan purses for myself any longer. I'd recommend trying to find leather for your hard earned fashion dollar </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-842017 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:51:01 +0000 Raisin 842017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the bag. I got one that color for Christmas and I just love it. It works well in F/W too. The hat looks great, and it could be really good for being out in the sun, especially if you live somewhere hot or go south on vacation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-841982 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 12:55:46 +0000 pil 841982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is such a nice shade of yellow and the hat *is* cute. I've kind of become a summer hat person too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-841944 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 10:45:57 +0000 Deborah 841944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The hat is cute and looks good on you:). I like the bag. Good shape and size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-841894 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 06:27:07 +0000 CocoLion 841894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann I love the hat on you. So cute and a good style.</p> <p>As for the bag (and you crack me up with Hecho en China!) I love the color but I vote for something with less hardware on it.

Also think th bag is perfect for your plans of casual pop of color. I would love a hat like that in winter weight, the brim is the perfect size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-841817 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 04:47:35 +0000 Beth Ann 841817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hijack away, ABC! I'm all for a good find! The Coach bag is terrific, and a good price. But then, mine is "hecho en China" and simula.......I mean, vegan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-841794 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 04:21:05 +0000 abc 841794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hijack the thread, but Joy, not sure if you are interested but I found a cute yellow leather bag at the Coach outlet, named Ashley, on sale right now for $115. Here is a link to one on ebay, same design and color but unfortunately asking more than the outlet price:<br /> <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-COACH-ASHLEY-Leather-SATCHEL-SUNFLOWER-Yellow-F19247-358-HOT-/261164285931?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&#038;hash=item3cce9abfeb" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-CO.....3cce9abfeb</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-841793 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 04:20:53 +0000 Suz 841793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A yellow bag is perfect for spring. PERFECT. I bought an inexpensive one last year and used it so much it fell apart. I was heartbroken. This year I am on the hunt for a better quality one. I adore yellow and can't wear it (my complexion hates it) so a bag is the perfect solution. You will love it. It will work with more colours than you can imagine. </p> <p>Love the hat on you, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-841792 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 04:20:19 +0000 Beth Ann 841792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!</p> <p>Joy --- This bag is from DSW, by Kelli &amp; Katie, for $40. The tag says: "Hecho en China, simulated leather." Buahahaha! I prefer to call it vegan. As I said, it's a pretty nice weight and a fairly matte finish IRL, good stitching.</p> <p>BTW --- We live in Chicago, but I'm a Jayhawk, so should out to Kansas City! Hubby's upset because he's watching the KU game and it's not going well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-841789 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 04:14:17 +0000 Anonymous 841789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both hat and bag look great to me. You've reminded me that I want to replace a yellow Target bag with something nicer now that I know it's a versatile bag color. Did you find the bag at DSW?<br /> The hat is great...not too wide but wide enough to give protection. It looks sweet on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-841787 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 04:13:07 +0000 abc 841787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the yellow bag. I just ordered one myself after realizing the same thing you said about wearing a lot of colors that go with yellow - purples, blues, reds, etc. I vote keep if you are asking for a vote. As for the hat, I think it is cute, but I am a fan of hats in all shapes and floppiness factors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-841785 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 04:12:50 +0000 cheryl 841785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great bag and I think you look adorable in the hat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-spring-finds#post-841778 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 04:07:48 +0000 Beth Ann 841778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK --- so I dragged ds to DSW to check out a pair of oxfords which were a no go. I did find however a summer hat (I wear these when I'm out as much as possible in summer) and a replacement for a cute, but small and very cheap yellow bag I purchased last summer. I don't wear yellow -- at all, but I do wear a lot of colors that look fab with the pop of a golden yellow bag -- cobalt, red, black, navy. I like the size and shape for a casual spring/summer purse. It is not as shiny as the first pic. (flash), although the color is pretty true.</p> <p>1. Is the bag workable for a casual wardrobe with that's more polished?<br /> 2. Is the hat too floppy?</p> <p>The price-for-quality ratio is pretty good, and I definitely need a couple of warmer season bags and a fresh hat or two, but I have time to keep looking, too. </p>
