Picking up on what <b>Angie</b> said about your hair, I actually think that's why the cognac bag works so well for me and I don't have to worry about matching other elements of my outfit. My hair is a warm golden blonde, and the cognac basically creates an instant complement. I bet it would work similarly for you, even though we do not have the same color hair at all. Isn't that fascinating??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-team-bag#post-2002207 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 22:36:37 +0000 Style Fan 2002207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a bag minimalistic.&nbsp; My small crossbody bag is cognac.&nbsp; I also have a straw bag with a gold chain for fancy occasions.&nbsp; Rarely gets used.&nbsp; I would go with cognac to match your hair.</p> <p>The white bag looks great but are you the type that never gets things dirty.&nbsp; Dirt sees me coming so I would worry about that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-team-bag#post-2002206 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 22:34:11 +0000 nemosmom 2002206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Great question, <b>Sterling</b>!

It works great -- goes with everything, even though I have very little tan/brown elsewhere in my wardrobe. I don't worry about matching with footwear and/or clothing at all, I just grab my bag and go! Personally I would be a bit worried about keeping a white bag pristine by ymmv, I can definitely see the appeal and it would create a bright "pop" against many different colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-team-bag#post-2002190 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 21:07:57 +0000 LaPed 2002190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the emergence of a white/yellow/green palette here and the bag ties it all together. Looks like a very fresh summer combo to me. Retro-sporty colours, like old-school track suits or vintage high school team uniforms... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-team-bag#post-2002157 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 18:50:47 +0000 Angie 2002157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White crossbody sounds best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-team-bag#post-2002141 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 18:23:45 +0000 Christina F. 2002141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the white bag could convert to be a clutch? That said, I'd be wary of having a white crossbody as my only bag if I were someone who wears dark wash jeans, for the reasons carter states above. In the summer, you won't be wearing it over a long jacket most likely. If jeans won't be a problem go for it. Otherwise, olive is a nice option, and metallics DO go with anything and everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-team-bag#post-2002119 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 17:43:38 +0000 taylor 2002119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great wardrobe.<br /> I vote navy bag, looks like it would work with your outfits and denim !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-team-bag#post-2002118 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 17:38:41 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2002118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Some mustard to go with the pickle?

One thing to remember if you go with a lighter color is that your dark jeans could rub off on the bag. A navy bag would also work very well and could eliminate the jean staining issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-team-bag#post-2002115 Wed, 13 Feb 2019 17:36:50 +0000 Janet 2002115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a metallic?

When I'm not carrying a laptop bag, I keep my day-to-day essentials of one key, phone, and a small zip coin pouch in my jacket pockets. This serves me fine, except in summer when I am jacket-free and tend to lose things out of my jeans pockets... :)</p> <p><div>I am thinking of adding a small crossbody bag for summer, but I am not sure which color to look for. Ideally, I don't want to add more than one bag. I will add some examples in my finds below, but my spring/summer wardrobe colors are:</div><div><u>Tops</u>:</div> <ul> <li>white or ivory</li> <li>blush</li> <li>kelly green</li> <li>olive green</li> <li>daffodil yellow</li> <li>navy</li> </ul> <div><u>Bottoms</u>:<br /> </div><div>I wear jeans in various washes (white, med, dark) almost every day, but have a pair of lightweight check trousers, a solid navy jersey dress, and a few skirts on deck I want to play with that are: <ul> <li>solid olive</li> <li>teal/navy dot</li> <li>solid kelly green</li> <li>tan snakeprint</li> </ul> </div><div><u>Shoes</u>:<br /> My white and navy sneakers get the most wear, I added the yellow shoe late Fall and have only worn them once I'm hoping they will add a pop of color to all my blue and green.... I'm shopping the white flat as a 2nd dressy option for the skirts.<br /> </div> <ul> <li>yellow suede</li> <li>white sneakers</li> <li>navy chucks</li> <li>white flat</li> </ul> What color bag makes the most sense to go with the majority of what I have? I keep thinking white is the most versatile, but yellow could be fun. </p> <p>ETA: I came across this Top Pick one (last find), and am a bit obsessed with it (it's gotta be the cool green and yellow strap!), but wonder if it would be too casual for a dressy situation.... </p>
