The pink jacket is a great idea for summer I would love to find a cropped pink jacket for summer. I have silver loafers not the same brand they are my Irish sandals as sandals are not needed here very much. You look very summery and fashionable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-fab-finds-and-a-bag-question#post-2412428 Wed, 06 May 2026 17:42:36 +0000 Janet 2412428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good, shoe twin! I'm wearing mine today, with my new Rag &amp; Bone side stripe Miramar wide-leg pants and a white Athleta shirt. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>This is not the same kind of shape as your bag, but the Desigual I just bought is a shoulder bag, in a cream/off-white with silver hardware. I've been using it this week and really enjoy it! Lightweight, fits over the shoulder nicely, and zips from both sides, which is a nice touch. Faux leather, but a good one.&nbsp;</p> <p>White and cream bags with silver hardware are not easy to find!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-fab-finds-and-a-bag-question#post-2412427 Wed, 06 May 2026 17:34:20 +0000 Angie 2412427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And rocking these KILLER items, <b>Suz</b>! Stinking cute striped pants, and best loafers of your life :)</p> <p>Yes, you need another pair of those loafers. SOOOO good in our climate and for London. Covered feet!!! Sandals in London can be dodgy - lots of muck in the city and with tube transport.&nbsp;</p> <p>URGH!! Crossbody challenges. So sorry :(</p> <p>Sooooo, I was going to suggest a shoulder bag - and you're doing that already. AND to keep your bag super lightweight.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also wonder if a BELT bag can work. It's a crossbody with a different fit:</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-fab-finds-and-a-bag-question#post-2412426 Wed, 06 May 2026 17:28:10 +0000 Star (Lise) 2412426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No bag advice but chiming in to tell you I love those pants. Such interesting pattern placement. I've always had a thing for striped pants in various iterations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-the-fab-finds-and-a-bag-question#post-2412421 Wed, 06 May 2026 16:39:25 +0000 Suz 2412421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here I am in my already-beloved Vionic loafers (I definitely need a second pair!) and the Wit and Wisdom utility pants from <b>Angie'</b>s blog, plus the now almost ubiquitous pink denim jacket -- off to take my cat to the vet for his arthritis shot.&nbsp;</p> <p>These pants are very light weight cotton. This is a "stovepipe" wide leg, not flared at the bottom. I tend to prefer the A line versions of wide legs, but I like these, too. These are a false plain. It's hard to see, but there is a fun pocket detail of stripes going in a different direction. These pants have a ton of pockets -- great for gardeners!&nbsp;</p> <p>Now for the bag question: In the past few years, I had grown accustomed to carrying mostly small (ish) crossbody bags. Very convenient because they fit in my bike panniers easily, were lightweight, easy to travel with, etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>However, since my injury, I am finding <b>ANY</b> crossbody bag considerably less comfortable than it used to be. It doesn't matter which shoulder I use the strap on, really. The discomfort is the same. Backpacks are also a challenge, though I can manage for a short distance.&nbsp;</p> <p>This may or may not be a permanent change - it depends how I adapt to my new bionic part. In the meantime, the bag I am using most consistently and with the greatest comfort is this older Coach shoulder bag. (It also works as a crossbody with a strap, but I am not using it that way at the moment.)&nbsp;</p> <p>It seems counterintuitive that a shoulder bag woudl work better, but it seems to -- I can mostly carry it on the non-injured shoulder, for one thing.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would like to get a white or cream bag that is similar. Can anyone point me to one, ideally with silver hardware? I am sure they must exist...</p> <p>Thanks for looking and any help you might provide!&nbsp; </p>
