Many run pretty small but are well organized. You can easily find them in second hand stores for a fraction of the price in new or hardly used condition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114921 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 17:02:15 +0000 Becky 2114921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UPDATE: I got the print cross-body yesterday. I was disappointed: the size was much larger than I wanted, even though I thought I'd checked the measurements with my current cross-body, which is just the size I want. The search continues. The print was nice, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114524 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 23:20:22 +0000 rachylou 2114524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The floral has more polish than the neutral...

Great sophisticated color palette. I think you'll be surprised at its versatility. I have a floral print handbag that I wear with stripes, polka dots, plaid, etc. and it looks great with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114207 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 15:42:35 +0000 JAileen 2114207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you love the colors and the pattern, then why not? &nbsp;I like the pink in it a lot. &nbsp;I’ve been adding pale pink to my wardrobe, after limiting the colors for awhile. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114190 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 14:58:30 +0000 Suz 2114190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I would love a print bag like that. Really fun for pattern mixing.

I like the print and it works with a lot, but with the very patterned dress, there is a whole lot going on, and I couldn’t slow down to intentionally pattern match either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114178 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 14:09:19 +0000 Becky 2114178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Lots of love for the print bag! I definitely didn't expect that. Those of you who brought up words of caution (or at least things to think through), those are exactly the questions that have been holding me back.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114172 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 13:29:55 +0000 unfrumped 2114172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have several print bags that get a lot of wear. I have a sugar eye for printed leather especially, and for certain florals. Also got a striped tote.<br /> I do not change bags daily or often, either. However for workwear clothing I was wearing mostly solids in neutrals and nearly- neutrals.<br /> There would be some days when heading out the door I might decide the print was too much, but would only change bags to a solid neutral/ color if I were likely to be in some kind of important-to-me meeting or event. </p> <p>I think what is key is to decide whether you LOVE a particular print ( colors and the design itself) and expect ( hope) not to get tired of it, plus have a realistic idea of your usual outfits, that most eill work, and then arrange your handbags so you have quick- change option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114160 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 12:18:12 +0000 Inge 2114160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for that fab printed one!!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114150 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 11:19:24 +0000 Preppy Pear 2114150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the printed bag in Finds before I saw your post and I love it!

I find colourful bags as versatile as neutrals. I think you will really enjoy how fresh and pretty this bas is for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114120 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 04:57:15 +0000 Bonnie 2114120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to the pattern bag.

The grey looks more winter. I think you will find that pattern very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114093 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 02:32:28 +0000 DonnaF 2114093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you’re buying the print. I think it will work with the stripes you have in Finds as well as the prints you own. Plus it is more unique than a solid color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114090 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 02:20:45 +0000 Sal 2114090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the pattern here.&nbsp; And you can do pattern mixing:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114089 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 02:13:08 +0000 Becky 2114089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everyone, for your feedback. As an additional bonus, the print is currently available at a significantly reduced price. If I love the way the bag design itself works, I may get the gray later also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114085 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:41:05 +0000 Angie 2114085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GET the pattern!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114080 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:32:31 +0000 Helena 2114080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Robin ... It might be trickier if you wear tons on pattern ... But I don't think it's too much colour and it's a really nice bag! Great for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114079 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:29:12 +0000 Jessikams 2114079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get a ton of use out of my printed or multicolor bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114077 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:26:26 +0000 kellygirl 2114077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the grey will be easier to wear if you wear a lot of different colors. That being said, the patterned one is not garish by any means and could almost work as a neutral if it coordinates with your wardrobe. I am partial to grey as it seems to work with everything. My grey cross body is a workhorse.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114076 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:26:18 +0000 slim cat 2114076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun print. If the colors of the printed bag are present in your regular wardrobe then that bag would be an easy add on I think ( I'm partial to the prints ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114073 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:20:31 +0000 RobinF 2114073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it could be a great bag depending on what you normally wear. For me, this would be nice with neutrals but might be too much with other prints. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-a-print-cross-body-bag#post-2114069 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:11:35 +0000 Becky 2114069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a bag minimalist in that I wear the same bag most days. I do have a special occasion clutch, and a few holdouts from previous seasons that are still in good shape and in colors I love. I wear a cross-body bag most days to free up my hands. I've been considering the Tumi Voyageur Carmel Crossbody in the mink/silver combo for over a year now, reasoning that since I rarely change out bags, it's a nice neutral that will work with most outfits. Then I saw the blush floral version of the same bag. The multiple colors do make it more versatile (IMO) than a single non-neutral color, and I am a color junkie! If I'm going to wear only one bag (at least until fall), should I get the print?&nbsp; Or is that too much color, considering that I very rarely dress entirely in neutral colors?&nbsp;What say you? All opinions/reasons welcome, from scientific to gut reaction! </p> <p></p> <p>UPDATE: I got the print cross-body yesterday. I was disappointed: the size was much larger than I wanted, even though I thought I'd checked the measurements with my current cross-body, which is just the size I want. The search continues. The print was nice, though! :-)</p>
