But we do need to see it 'on', Una, handbag proportions can be tricky... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-a-lot-aida-red-bag-shopping#post-315163 Wed, 16 Mar 2011 14:34:28 +0000 modgrl 315163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a beautiful bag! It's a bold statement, not sure if I have what it takes to pull this one off </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-a-lot-aida-red-bag-shopping#post-315161 Wed, 16 Mar 2011 14:26:47 +0000 rae 315161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I have used these posts for reference.<br /> <a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2009/11/what-size-handbag-should-i-carry.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......carry.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2009/11/where-to-carry-your-handbag.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......ndbag.html</a></p> <p>For me, it's usually a more intuitive thing. I'll just try on a bag at a store and say, "Holy cats, the dainty strap on this shoulder bag makes my biceps look like sausages," and that's the end of it. Or maybe I'll dislike how a very structured, square bag looks next to my rounded hips. But then, I will wear a very small-strapped cross body bag that hits on my hips... so I think there is some leeway with the rules. </p> <p>You said you like structured bags... if this is a similar size and shape to what already works for you, it's probably a good bet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-a-lot-aida-red-bag-shopping#post-315096 Wed, 16 Mar 2011 04:27:12 +0000 catgirl 315096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, it sounds like you understand handbag proportion, which I do not. What are the criteria? According to The Lucky Guide to something or other, a petite gal can carry big bag, although a tall gal can't always pull off a tiny bag. Is that what you mean? Or proportion related to the outfit somehow? </p> <p>My current bag is medium-sized. I don't believe in carrying a giant bag just for the celeb look. But I can't get away with nothing, since I carry a lot of snacks and business cards and other garbage.</p> <p>I'd love to understand this before I commit to something! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-a-lot-aida-red-bag-shopping#post-314865 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:48:46 +0000 nicoleb 314865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man i think there was *just* a Kate Spade hangbag sale too! I really love the bag but i admire most things that are Kate Spade. Do i own any? No. But i enjoy looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-a-lot-aida-red-bag-shopping#post-314861 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:41:38 +0000 Dani 314861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Kate Spade handbags. The polka dot lining in this one is great. It does look rather large on the model though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-a-lot-aida-red-bag-shopping#post-314854 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:31:32 +0000 Aida 314854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like to see some of the ones you have that you like </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-a-lot-aida-red-bag-shopping#post-314850 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:26:38 +0000 catgirl 314850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tend to like structured bags because the slouchy is just too disorganized for me. I really like the bowling bag, doctor bag, and satchel look. I actually have a few really nice ones that I just need to start USING! Will post some photos. I have a hard time deciding how a bag fits in with an outfit, since I mostly look at it as utilitarian. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-a-lot-aida-red-bag-shopping#post-314844 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:16:42 +0000 rae 314844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um, I'm no help as I'm on a red teas as well. I don't think I can form an honest opinion on the bag without seeing it on... I get the sense that you like strong lines and drama in your outfits, so that's a plus, but the proportions is what makes a bag or breaks it in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-a-lot-aida-red-bag-shopping#post-314841 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:06:29 +0000 Aida 314841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A red bag would go with so many of your outfits and would be a vibrant punch to your generally darker looks I've got mixed feelings on the Kate Spade but mostly because I don't know what your bags are like. Do you like structured or slouchy styles? One the one hand I can see a slouchy bag fitting in with your style nicely, but on the other I could see a structured bag giving you some interesting juxtaposition.</p> <p>EDIT: This particular bag looks a bit large, so that's another thing to consider. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-a-lot-aida-red-bag-shopping#post-314838 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:02:13 +0000 catgirl 314838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you saying it's inevitable? And what do you think of the Kate Spade? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-a-lot-aida-red-bag-shopping#post-314834 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 22:57:14 +0000 Aida 314834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, I'm sorry (but not really)! I love my red bag and I'm positive you will love the one you end up getting too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-a-lot-aida-red-bag-shopping#post-314833 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 22:54:49 +0000 catgirl 314833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Argh! I am on some kind of red streak. I am madly in love with this Kate Spade bag:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/kate-spade-new-york-billie-fire-engine-red" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/kate-spa.....engine-red</a> </p>
