(A Lambertson Truex was my workhorse; are they still around?) That can easily veer frumpy, and probably did in my case sometimes bc it was just utilitarian, but sometimes it can be a coherent look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-a-shopper-bag#post-1071953 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 04:00:34 +0000 Echo 1071953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! &nbsp;I absolutely love the cobalt shopper, but the neutral bag looks very versatile, too. And I love that you styled them both casually and dressy. I need to explore outfit options with my new bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-a-shopper-bag#post-1071838 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 01:22:12 +0000 Suz 1071838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me, me!&nbsp;</p> <p>I loved my cobalt Ralph Lauren shopper. It was my most used bag all summer. I wore it as a "third piece" quite a lot when layering wasn't possible, or I colour blocked outfits with it. (See pics.)&nbsp;</p> <p>I liked the style/ shape so much that I picked up a similar Tiganello at Winner's in taupe. I don't like it anywhere near as well, but I do like it and use it. </p> <p>One reason&nbsp;I don't like it as much: It's a bit softer on the outside and inside and I preferred the stiff structure of the Lauren. </p> <p>(On the plus side, this one has more and handier pockets...but it's missing a key fob).&nbsp;</p> <p>The other reason I think I like it less is that it's a neutral. It turns out I enjoy bright happy bags. I wasn't sure I could find one that would work with my winter coats. I realize now that no one neutral other than black works with all my coats, either. And I did want a "bookending" bag for my hair -- which this one is, I think. So I'm not sorry I purchased it, and am super happy with the shape and size for me. I am 5'4" by the way.&nbsp;</p> <p>The only thing i don't like is that my computer doesn't <b>quite</b> fit into the blue one. I can make it fit (by squeezing) in the Tig. Or I can carry it vertically in the RL -- but that's not the safest idea.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-a-shopper-bag#post-1071827 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 00:59:32 +0000 Echo 1071827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I realize this seems like a silly question, but I generally carry smaller shoulder bags or clutches. I just recently purchased a mid-sized "shopper tote" with longer straps (can fit over the shoulder) and a zip top. I am in love with the bag, but since I am not used to carrying anything like it, I am at a loss about how to wear it.</p> <p>Anyone have photos of them wearing a similar bag? Blogs with pics? I know people carry bags like this all the time, but I somehow have trouble seeing it as a handbag and not... I don't know, a beach bag or something (despite it not being nearly that large nor having a summer colour/pattern).&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm just looking for inspiration and enough confidence in a new style to rock this bag! </p>
