Get the bag. You will love using it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806706 Tue, 09 May 2017 03:15:25 +0000 Jaime 1806706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fabulous and I wouldn't change a thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806616 Tue, 09 May 2017 00:18:41 +0000 Aida 1806616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit, love the bag. I personally like the idea of a white, gold or cognac bag with this outfit BUT the red would certainly be a fun matchy-matchy option. To me your bold red lipstick coupled with your light hair is what really makes this outfit sing ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806564 Mon, 08 May 2017 23:16:45 +0000 Angie 1806564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, anchie. I spy an apple green coat, and might steal it with SuperSam.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806502 Mon, 08 May 2017 20:24:02 +0000 Anonymous 1806502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW - this is a terrific outfit!! I love it - it flatters you amazingly well. &nbsp;And haha to Jenni - she's right, I think two pieces in a solid red are one thing, but a third might take you into flight attendant territory. I'd buy the red bag because it's such a great colour for you, and would wear it with just one other red piece . &nbsp;The blazer is awesome - I really want to replicate this somehow... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806497 Mon, 08 May 2017 20:08:44 +0000 Emily K 1806497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a very beautiful shade of red! &nbsp;And pretty on you. &nbsp;Also, I like your shoes and bag--those brands are new to me, so I just did a little internet sleuthing and I liked what I saw--thanks for the head's up about those brands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806494 Mon, 08 May 2017 20:03:18 +0000 anchie 1806494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni NZ - when we started this tradition I was not very specific but I learned my lesson. One year for example I said that I would like a yellow bag. I love bright citrusy lemon, but got a warm egg yolk colored one. Beautiful bag, but not my yellow and I still struggle how to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806491 Mon, 08 May 2017 19:49:19 +0000 Jenni NZ 1806491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how your husband "chooses" your birthday presents! We have a similar plan in our house x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806483 Mon, 08 May 2017 19:22:49 +0000 anchie 1806483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizbeth P - your outfit is something I would definitely wear. </p> <p>Angie - I would love to be bag twin with you We definitely like the same colors. </p> <p>Inge, lyn67, zoiechic, Sara L, Diana, Scarlet, The Cat and Suz - thanks for encouragement to get the bag. I think this is going to be this years birthday present from my husband. We have a tradition that I get hanbag for birthday every year, but usually I make selection and then provide a lot of not very subtle hints Hopefully it will not sell out in the next 2 months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806403 Mon, 08 May 2017 17:06:12 +0000 Suz 1806403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is <b>STUNNING </b>on you. Wow. Just gorgeous. The red really pops with the blue and the silhouette is super flattering. It's a lively, sharp, intelligent spring look. Really like your lipstick with it, too, and I say go for the bag!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806393 Mon, 08 May 2017 16:46:56 +0000 The Cat 1806393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course you can! But you don't need to. </p> <p>In my opinion, it brings balance to an outfit when the colour of non-neutral shoes is repeated elsewhere, preferably near the face, as with the red blouse in your picture. So balance is already created, but if you like, you can wear a red bag in addition, and actually as many red items as you want to. That's up to you. :-)</p> <p>Fashion police may say one thing now and a different thing tomorrow. One day people are told to make sure that specific items are matching, the next day to go completely matchy-matchy, and the day after that to avoid matching items. However, trendy rules don't work for all people, and it would be very boring if we all obeyed them strictly. So feel free to experiment and find out what YOU prefer and what you feel comfortable wearing.</p> <p>That being said, the red bag would be a great idea, whether worn with this outfit, OR with the red shoes as the only two red items in an outfit, OR as the only red item, OR with several other red items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806390 Mon, 08 May 2017 16:19:10 +0000 Elizabeth P 1806390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a FANTASTIC outfit on you.You have inspired me to try the combo below.... perhaps with my navy leather jacket as a topper. &nbsp; </p> <p>If the bag is the right colour red, I say go for it.&nbsp; I wouldn't' wear it with this particular outfit, but I think you might like to have the bag/shoes combo with some other pieces.</p> <p>I'm very proud of myself for saying this.&nbsp; I tend to morph into too matchy matchy without intending to, and I've never liked the result.&nbsp; I have come to realize that two pieces is generally best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806376 Mon, 08 May 2017 16:02:25 +0000 Scarlet 1806376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the red looks fantastic on you. Love those shoes, and as I just bought a red handbag myself, I think it is a great idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806371 Mon, 08 May 2017 15:58:45 +0000 Mirjana 1806371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look really amazing, each individual pieces are fantastic, I specially love red shoes, beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806369 Mon, 08 May 2017 15:53:22 +0000 Dianna 1806369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Get the bag.

I did struggle with my recent matchy matchy attempt, but I still think it's fun. Be bold, add the bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806304 Mon, 08 May 2017 14:11:29 +0000 Angie 1806304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>And now I want that bag. (I'm making a habit of this).&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Get the bag.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806273 Mon, 08 May 2017 12:29:56 +0000 chouette22 1806273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a beautiful red bag, but just like lyn67 above, I would very likely not wear it with this outfit, which is WONDERFUL on you. Everything fits to perfection and I love your shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806269 Mon, 08 May 2017 12:20:16 +0000 lyn67 1806269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit, esp. love the shoes, and &nbsp;this shade of red with the navy pants. And, &nbsp;thus would like to own that red bag, too, &nbsp;think I would not wear it to this exact outfit- but that'"s only me. We all know &nbsp;maximal matchy-matchyness is on trend and several buddies on the forum make it work so perfectly even on common weekday:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806250 Mon, 08 May 2017 10:29:25 +0000 Inge 1806250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an amazing look, Anchie. Each individual piece is gorgeous on its own, and together they absolutely rock. Loving the blues with the reds together!<br />I could absolutely see this with a red handbag. And that fab bag would work with many other outfits in your wardrobe too, I bet;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806249 Mon, 08 May 2017 10:27:23 +0000 Jenni NZ 1806249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I like the idea! Just don't ask Lisap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---monday-matchy-matchy#post-1806246 Mon, 08 May 2017 09:39:24 +0000 anchie 1806246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Monday look for relaxed day at work (attending training this week). Shoes and sweater are exact same color, color in finds is not accurate.<br /> Thinking of getting handbag in the same color (included in finds) but not sure if that would be too matchy? I know Angie blogged about having scarf/shoes/handbag set in non neutral color and I am intrigued. Can this be mine? What do you think?<br /> All feedback welcome. </p>
