Furlas are exceptional quality, which might help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories/page/2#post-1783401 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 15:09:22 +0000 Anonymous 1783401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Angie, I love that bag. &nbsp;Having said that, if you are transitioning to silver accessories and the bag as gold touches, I would encourage you to return it. &nbsp;But I do hear you wavering and I don't want to make your decision harder. &nbsp;</p> <p>I can't say much about silver versus gold. &nbsp;I find some people just look so good in one or the other. &nbsp;I look fabulous in silver. &nbsp;Gold has never complemented my skin tone. &nbsp;So I might also be biased. &nbsp;</p> <p>Since you are in mid-transition, perhaps your wardrobe can sustain both gold and silver.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also wanted to say I loved the sneakers on you. &nbsp;Great color with your hair. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories/page/2#post-1783378 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 14:01:03 +0000 Elizabeth P 1783378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have a heavy silver watch, and love the "heft" of it.&nbsp; </p> <p>Sorry the sneakers aren't working out, I love them, and love them on you.&nbsp; </p> <p>Now, the bag.&nbsp; I am a die hard silver person.&nbsp; Always have been... it looks so much better against my skin than gold does.&nbsp; I find the colours I like to wear generally look much better with silver as well.&nbsp; However... I did allow a compromise on my citron bag!&nbsp; I find that because it blends in with the colour, and there isn't a lot of it, it doesn't bother me much.&nbsp; If it were an easier colour to find I would say to hang tough, but this isn't.&nbsp; I think the chances of finding a nice citron bag with silver will be very very difficult.&nbsp; The Furla one is totally gorgeous... I LOVE the colour of it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories/page/2#post-1783355 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 12:47:09 +0000 Anonymous 1783355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice choices. I used to never mix metals, but do more now than I used to. If the shoes are not supremely comfy, I vote return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories/page/2#post-1783347 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 11:50:27 +0000 Summer 1783347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The watch and sneakers are great for you, Anchie.</p> <p>I would have reservations about the gold hardware on the bag, but it's down to personal preference, and it sounds as if you are too smitten with the bag to send it back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories/page/2#post-1783345 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 11:08:36 +0000 Style Fan 1783345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sneakers.&nbsp; They bookend your hair.&nbsp; I can not speak to the size.&nbsp; The bag is gorgeous.&nbsp; I love the colour but you will have to decide on that one.&nbsp; I am funny about the metals on things like bags.&nbsp; I do not notice them.&nbsp; I mix metals all the time.&nbsp; I just let my jewellery tell a story and go with it.&nbsp; I know some people like the metals all to match.&nbsp; <br />I have 3 watches with stainless steel and gold in the bracelets.&nbsp; I also have a few other pieces with more than one metal.&nbsp; Maybe that helps.&nbsp; But it was not planned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories/page/2#post-1783342 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 10:53:00 +0000 anchie 1783342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LisaP - interesting question about the zipper. I never had this type of bag before, and it did not occur to me that zipper may bother me. Have to test it.&nbsp;<br />The bag is really growing on me, it is such an unusual color that is more yellow in sunlight and more green in artificial light. It will go with many things and many different colors. I have hard time convincing my self to return it. And I found excuses to keep it I still have a lot of gold in my wardrobe, it is really difficult to phase it out. Some of my favorite blazers have gold buttons, I know, easy to replace, but I did not bother. I have belts with golden buckles, tons of gold jewelry, gold watch, other bags and shoes with gold hardware...</p> <p>Question maybe for another thread is - do silver hair really looks better with silver or is this maybe individual thing? &nbsp;Am I limiting my self if I only wear silver or will it make my wardrobe more cohesive?&nbsp;</p> <p>In the other developments, I am leaning toward returning the sneakers. After wearing them at home little bit more, not sure that comfort is there. When I add inserts, they are right size, but then they are rubbing me on the top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories/page/2#post-1783276 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 03:17:34 +0000 rachylou 1783276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg, Lisap! Yes. I find the zipper thing a big issue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783260 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 02:00:02 +0000 Carla 1783260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anchie, when I got my Cons I was a little worried that my regular size 9.5 seemed a little big as well, and DS#2 actually sized down to 12.5 from his regular 13. However, I do not find them supportive of my arches and had every intention of using an insert. With the insert (I use one called 'Superfeet') they are perfect! I also appreciate the study feel of a snugged in laced high top.</p> <p>Lisap! The zipper issue you mention makes of breaks my love for a bag. I hate having my hand ripped up by a metal zipper, and I wonder how folks with nail polish fare? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783255 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 01:47:44 +0000 Anonymous 1783255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>btw - your sneakers look cool on you ! If I were to wear them, I'd swap the black laces out for white, but that's just a personal preference. They work so well with your overall look. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783253 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 01:46:30 +0000 Anonymous 1783253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May I ask a question/pose a thought here  - to both you, Anchie, and to Angie?  </p> <p>Obviously neither of you are bothered by the zippers on bags like this that are structured and say, stiffer, than softer, floppier versions?  I bought a really nice bag like this a couple of years ago, and the top of my right hand was constantly scratched from reaching in and scraping it against the zipper.  </p> <p>This doesn't happen with Furla bags?  I just gave up on that bag and have stayed away from this style ever since.  It also happens on another  half-moon shaped stiffer/structured bag with a zip-around closure -again, stopped using it.</p> <p>Interested what your experience has been. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783241 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 01:07:17 +0000 Irina 1783241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My "winter" bag has golden hardware. Took some getting used to it. I wear it with gold studs or yellow/white gold earrings. My hair is almost half grey and I like gold accessories- les matchy-matchy look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783225 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 00:23:24 +0000 jill58 1783225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anchie, I wear almost exclusively silver jewelry and have the same problem with bag hardware. I'm actually trying to get over the idea that they need to match. The bag is so great. I wouldn't worry about the hardware because what stands out is the color of the bag. If it bothers you, maybe you could mix in a bit of gold jewelry. Your hair, by the way, is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783140 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 19:33:54 +0000 Angie 1783140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. I want to get the bag, Anchie. Soon.</p> <p>Your new sneaks are Killer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783118 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 18:50:23 +0000 anchie 1783118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - are you getting it - seems perfect for you.</p> <p>Here are the sneakers. Not really styled, I am in my pj top and no make-up. Gap girlfriend jeans. And trying pearl necklace as bracelet. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783102 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 18:16:30 +0000 Tina 1783102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another silver hardware gal here. However, looking at the bag it seems to suit the gold and there really isn't that much of it. The colour is gorgeous! I wonder if silver with this colour wouldn't look off. If you love the colour, try it with some outfit combos and just see?<br /> My 2 cents:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783085 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 17:41:16 +0000 Angie 1783085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*heart palpitations*&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783084 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 17:33:00 +0000 anchie 1783084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to wear gold, but since my hair is now silver I am trying to switch to silver. But it seems difficult to find the bag in right shape and color that has silver hardware. And regarding the color - it is much more accurate in my picture than on the web site. It is actually growing on me, but the hardware is the biggest issue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783076 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 17:23:19 +0000 Suz 1783076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same feeling about my big silver watch at first. I wondered if it would feel too heavy and chunky. It turns out I really love it this size. It provides a sort of maximal-minimal look, if you know what I mean. Maximal for me, but still simple. And it's such a great accessory to silver hair.&nbsp;</p> <p>Re the bag -- so disappointing. I am also moving away from gold so I understand completely. I would return if you can find one without hardware or with silver.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783074 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 17:19:30 +0000 Angie 1783074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. All Furla items have gold hardware - it's signature, and one reason I love the brand. I vote return if you're not into gold.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783064 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 16:29:59 +0000 lpr200 1783064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love big watches-- go for it! If the purse isn't 100%, return it. The metal hardware colors are virtually impossible to distinguish online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783063 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 16:27:26 +0000 Sara L. 1783063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like the bag needs to go back. &nbsp;You say you're looking for a perfect 10 and the gold hardware and color seem to be a problem for you. &nbsp;I think you should hold out for the perfect bag and send this one back. &nbsp;I love the watch and sneakers and they seem like keepers.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1783058 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 16:04:54 +0000 anchie 1783058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UPDATE - all items arrived today.</p> <p>Watch is beautiful, little bit bigger and heavier then expected, and bracelet needs to be shortened, but almost definitely a keeper.</p> <p>Converse sneakers are also very nice, maybe half size too big, but they will accommodate heavier socks or cushioning inserts. They are leather but not lined, so they are not the deep winter shoes, but I think I can wear them already. I tried them on and they seems very comfortable but I need to see them in the mirror to make final decision. Most likely a keeper.</p> <p>Furla bag is the toughest decision. It is beautiful, nice quality, perfect size. But. It has gold hardware which I did not notice when ordering (or did not pay attention). And I would prefer to stick with silver. Another thing is the color. It is less bright yellow as in picture and more muted with green tint. I believe it is exact shade as Angie's coat since I saw it in person in London. It is still very beautiful color, just not what I expected.</p> <p>Dresses I still have to try on, but I think they will go back. I am just not in the mood for more dark neutral winter clothes. They also seem kind of shapeless, bu I may be surprised.</p> <p>So, ladies, help me keep my promise not to compromise.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1782607 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 15:17:23 +0000 anchie 1782607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>texstyle- thank you for the hair complement. My hair is actually consistent only at the front around my face, in the back it is still more dark then white, creating an unusual effect.&nbsp;<br />jipp, Tisa and Penny - thank you for your nice words and encouragement. </p> <p>Lisa - I have to admit, I was "little" inspired by Angie's ensemble post from last Friday. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1782581 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 14:39:31 +0000 Lisa 1782581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if it was intentional or not, but these items together would make a lovely outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1782500 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 04:53:43 +0000 Penny 1782500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are terrific choices - good luck. &nbsp;I'm with you on only keeping rated-10 items, which challenges me when I really want to achieve a style goal (seeking perfection in tension with seeking a sense of accomplishment!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-refresher---accessories#post-1782458 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 02:45:23 +0000 Tisa 1782458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, nice style and such a great colour palette for you.
