I&nbsp;prefer to have only one olive item per outfit most of the time because there&nbsp;are so many variations on the color that I find it hard to find two olive items that&nbsp;work together.</p> <p><b>Joy</b> I AM in fact looking for an olive scarf. I like the idea&nbsp;of one with some blue and white in addition to the olive.&nbsp;Haven't&nbsp;found&nbsp;it yet. I’m hoping&nbsp;more darker&nbsp;colored scarves appear as the weeks go by and we get more into fall.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-olive-crossbody#post-1841086 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 22:12:37 +0000 Anonymous 1841086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great bag!

I love both the color and the contrasting textures!<br /> I agree it will work well with your coats and I expect a good deal of your wardobe.<br /> I've been drooling over olive bags, too. I think I wear too much olive in fall/winter to use an olive bag, then. But, as you decribe, I seem to wear a lot of blue and white, also some black and grays in summer - I think an olive bag would be a nice addition to those outfits.<br /> If you decide to keep, I look forward to seeing the bag in your future WIWs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-olive-crossbody#post-1840987 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 12:45:14 +0000 Bijou 1840987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new bag is lovely and I especially like the colour with the camel coloured coat, but the terracotta coat is also a good match. This olive is such a great colour, it is almost a neutral, so I think it will go with most things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-olive-crossbody#post-1840986 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 12:43:21 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1840986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! I've had my eye out for an olive bag, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-olive-crossbody#post-1840983 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 12:16:15 +0000 Tanya 1840983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a pretty bag and lovely find.&nbsp;&nbsp; It definitely goes with both of your new coats.&nbsp; Enjoy your fab new bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-olive-crossbody#post-1840981 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 12:08:24 +0000 Chris987 1840981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found this pretty olive Brian Atwood cross body on a 75% off sale table at lord and Taylor. It followed me home while I decide. I'm trying to stick to my "want list" for fall shopping and this was not on it, but it's beautifully made and a lovely soft olive with a bright fuscia lining. I definitely had my sales goggles on but that's ok with me as long as I'm thoughtful about it. I love olive and have been wearing it more lately, mostly with neutrals like black, white, and denim. I need to make sure it can close fully while holding my stuff. </p> <p>Maybe not a deal breaker but I'm wondering if it will go with my two new coats....what do you think? </p> <p></p> <p><b>UPDATE</b>: As I said originally, this is a gorgeous little cross body bag. However, as I was trying it out with outfits and especially fall/winter toppers and coats, a curious thing happened. In every single case,<i><b> I preferred a bag of a different color</b></i>. In effect this bag fit the role of understudy, but never the lead. I think this reflects how I feel about olive in general - a great supporting act/neutral but never the star of the outfit.This was totally emotional, and I'm trying to follow Angie's sage advice (pun intended!) and listen to those emotions.</p> <p>I have a couple of cross body bags in black, and love the idea of getting another color, but for example cognac or dark red would be better. &nbsp;:-) Back it goes, where another shopper can give it the love it deserves and I can spend the $$ on something I love more.</p>
