Interesting - I have been thinking about this bag too. It looks super and I thought it was a great price. I had similar reservations to you. I will give this bag more thought now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color/page/2#post-1913726 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 16:16:32 +0000 delurked 1913726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kathie - thanks for the dress feedback. I really need to wind down any clothes shopping, but every year I consider this dress, so I will try it one of these times. </p> <p>Sterling - preach. I hear you. Part of me wants to get some shoes to match and part of me says the yellow needs to work only with what I’ve already got (which is plenty). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color/page/2#post-1913715 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 15:25:39 +0000 Anonymous 1913715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in love with it. &nbsp;But right now, I am in love with every single thing I see. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color/page/2#post-1913714 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 15:15:33 +0000 Kathie 1913714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>delurked</b>, yes, I have the Boden Phoebe dress. I'm very slightly long-waisted, and did not find the waist to be too short. I found the sizing to be spot on. I'm generally between a (US) 6 and 8 in Boden, and wanted a more fluid, casual Friday before heading straight the the beach, type of fit, so went with the 8, and it's perfect.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color/page/2#post-1913713 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 15:07:44 +0000 delurked 1913713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see I would need to come very close on matching the yellow in a second piece. I’d be unhappy if I got a totally different yellow and then I wouldn’t like them together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color#post-1913647 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 09:16:03 +0000 anchie 1913647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this bag and think that color is very versatile and can go with many other colors. I also have very yellow bag that I wear mostly with navy, blue, and white. I always wanted to build complement around my bag or at least to get scarf or shoes in the same color thinking that it will be easier to wear it, but because of very particular shade of yellow I was never able to find anything that matches enough. So I just wear it as pop of color. But if you have a chance to get another item from Boden in the same yellow I think it will be very useful. Who knows if you will be able to find this same yellow somewhere else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color#post-1913624 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 05:42:26 +0000 Anonymous 1913624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Though complements would be fun &amp; harmonious, I think the color is a lovely pop and versatile enough to stand on its own with other colors, too.<br /> Beautiful bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color#post-1913607 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 04:03:35 +0000 Bijou 1913607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colour of your bag better than the softer buttery colour that is shown on the Boden website. I am drawn to yellow, but have yet to buy anything. It may take me a little bit of time to get used to yellow and I will be likely start with a print, rather than full on yellow.</p> <p>I was looking at a yellow bag, but did not get one, instead going for a much more sober blue - and I am enjoying wearing that, even though it does not have the wow impact that a yellow bag may have. Never say never, I am sure that eventually I will add a yellow bag to my collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color#post-1913597 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 03:16:56 +0000 delurked 1913597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara - I don’t mind bright color. I was surprised though at the shade of the yellow. It was unexpected, and when I pictured matching outfits, it was with a warm color. This one seems cooler than I expected. </p> <p>Donna - yay. I like the size too. Bummer you are on a crutch. I am going to play around with it. I do like the scarf. I see it’s a linen blend. That should be good for summer. </p> <p>Texstyle - I wouldn’t say it makes me happy. But I really do like a pop of color in a handbag. That’s why I need to see what colors in my closet I like it with. </p> <p>Cardiff girl - I take the point you and Texstyle make. </p> <p>SF, Joy - I agree other yellow elements would help. </p> <p>Bridgie - it is a fun color. </p> <p>Kkards - I like your description. I am not always matchy either. Sometimes I like to be though. But I don’t switch bags every day like some do. </p> <p>DonnaF - will do. I hope you get your bag. </p> <p>Jenn - I had the color figured in my mind, so when I opened the bag and saw it was so different, I was surprised. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color#post-1913595 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 03:02:38 +0000 delurked 1913595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Rachylou, sometimes I must know what “we” think. </p> <p>Efbgen - I think I would use it. The other colors are pink, which I have none of, and navy. I have enough dark clothing that I prefer a counterpoint in a handbag. This is certainly that. </p> <p>Smittie - I don’t have much for shoes that work with the bag. I used to have some yellow sandals (a bit darker), but they had to be retired last year. I agree another piece of some sort could be helpful. But I’m at the end of my shopping budget at this point, so want to see if I can make do without another purchase. Or perhaps a jewelry piece could come to play with this crossbody. </p> <p>Kathie - I agree some lightness in the blue/white could be good. It’s about my favorite combo. </p> <p>JAileen - you and Smittie have a good point. It may be a bit matchy with shoes, but I’m ok with that. </p> <p>Runcarla - I am planning to keep it. I don’t want to exchange again for something else. I just need to maximize my usage of it. I run too hot for scarves, and for some reason rarely feel good in them, even though I like on others.</p> <p>LP - I do like the green with the yellow, maybe with light bottoms. Ha ha - there are some yellow prints we’ve seen around here, aren’t there?</p> <p>AM - I was going for a fun color. Good to “see” you around. </p> <p>Chris - I’ll try with some looks tomorrow and maybe post them. I’m not in the mood to try tonight. I do like a pop of color. That’s why I’ve got a red handbag and a royal blue one. I mostly wear crossbody styles. I like the color you show in the find. </p> <p>Kathie - I’ve eyed that dress in many prints over the years, but never pulled the trigger to purchase. Do you have the dress already? I’m long through the torso, and if things hit too high with a line across my stomach, it’s not a good look. That’s been my hesitation on that style. The skirt is super cute too. </p> <p>Gigi - I never thought of that. I would need to test it out. It sounds interesting. I wonder if I would like myself in yellow nail polish. </p> <p>Smittie - As you know, I do have the cobalt and white. I’ll add it to my ideas to try tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color#post-1913577 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 01:19:48 +0000 Jenn 1913577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it. I like Donna's suggestion of building a complement, if you don't already have one in your wardrobe. That being said, that yellow would probably scare me too, even though I'd be fine with mustard, so I understand if you feel psychologically uncomfortable with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color#post-1913574 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 01:17:23 +0000 DonnaF 1913574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no yellow in my wardrobe but am stalking a particular yellow bag in the hopes that it will be marked down. That being said, I am VERY particular about my yellows because I know that some will work with my wardrobe and others won’t. Pull out stuff from your closet and drawers and see what you think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color#post-1913539 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 00:11:08 +0000 kkards 1913539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's like sunshine in a bag!</p> <p>(i'm not one of those who worries about matching my bag to by outfit...even thought i'm a really matchy-matchy person....i'm more concerned about the shape of the bag, if it holds everything i need, and allows me to find what i need without having to take everything out of the bag) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color#post-1913531 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 23:28:59 +0000 Anonymous 1913531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it and would suggest that you find footwear in a similar color.

So well made and perfect size. (I'm on a crutch so I've been using it crossbody.) I wear it with lots of other "unmatching" colors (olive, white, navy, fuschia...) and also with a scarf that has that color with it, and am pondering a belt - see finds.

It's a bit softer a yellow than yours. &nbsp;Like you Delurked I have NOTHING else yellow in my wardrobe. I'm not particularly thinking of buying anything either. It would&nbsp; go with the blue, white, some tans and olives I like&nbsp;to wear in summer.&nbsp;I'm not so much into the "pop of color" thing that a lot of people love. But it is so pretty and summery. Liking Runcarla's suggestion. SO, in summary, I'm either enabling or discouraging you, once I figure out what I am going to do Thanks for starting this thread! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color#post-1913467 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 20:18:09 +0000 AviaMariah 1913467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that would be a really fun color to have for summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color#post-1913466 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 20:16:04 +0000 LaPed 1913466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks pretty awesome with that dark blue-green you're wearing!

It looks like it would be 'The One Thing' that elevates an outfit from good to great and you don't even need to have it match anything else you are wearing. If you really wanted to add something else, find a scarf with your colours that has a touch of yellow as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color#post-1913464 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 20:14:49 +0000 Anonymous 1913464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I like @Kathie’s suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-of-this-boden-handbag-color#post-1913463 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 20:11:34 +0000 JAileen 1913463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it were me, I’d add some other yellow, such as some sandals.
