Its maybe not perfect, but not horrible either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-117---a-problem-with-lady-spade#post-1142880 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 13:23:37 +0000 Anonymous 1142880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can always default to a basic black bag. As always, cute dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-117---a-problem-with-lady-spade#post-1142804 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 07:16:05 +0000 CocoLion 1142804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute dress on always adorable you. &nbsp;I don't mind the mix of two leather colors, although I can see what the others are talking about. &nbsp;They don't exactly "go" or match, but clash is too strong a word. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-117---a-problem-with-lady-spade#post-1142769 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 06:19:25 +0000 Beth Ann 1142769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore that jacket, Lyn!&nbsp; So rich and textured.&nbsp; Another might might highlight it's warm tones more, but I love both pieces and don't think they "clash." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-117---a-problem-with-lady-spade#post-1142614 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 02:39:19 +0000 lyn* 1142614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies - I dropped into Danier to get some leather protectant for my coat, and I agree that both grey and red look beautiful with this jacket. Some blues do as well!</p> <p>Can't wait to scout out the Coach collection later </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-117---a-problem-with-lady-spade#post-1142269 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 21:49:08 +0000 Alassë 1142269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I don't think the jacket + purse clash, but I'm a one bag/shoe/coat type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-117---a-problem-with-lady-spade#post-1142149 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:47:54 +0000 Thistle 1142149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, not sur the jacket works with the dress or the purse. I feel like you have warms and cools competing here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-117---a-problem-with-lady-spade#post-1142144 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:45:21 +0000 lyn* 1142144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I will see what Coach has for offers at the end of next month when my friends and I make our annual Coach Outlet pilgrimage. </p> <p>Grey would be a pretty colour to add, and I adore red. Right now I am using my magenta clutch, and it seems to work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-117---a-problem-with-lady-spade#post-1142111 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:24:50 +0000 Dee 1142111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is awesome!&nbsp;But then, so is the bag Just not together, I guess.&nbsp;I&nbsp;think black/dark grey&nbsp;for contrast would work for neutrals&nbsp;or anything in the red family would be fun if you do colored bags.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-117---a-problem-with-lady-spade#post-1142105 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:19:27 +0000 deb 1142105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is just not right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-117---a-problem-with-lady-spade#post-1142102 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:17:00 +0000 Emily 1142102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. &nbsp;Not awful,&nbsp;but not ideal to my eye. &nbsp;Maybe something in gray? &nbsp;Or maybe with different footwear?</p> <p>LOVE the airplane dess, by the by. &nbsp;It looks super cool with your new jacket. &nbsp;Sort of an homage to Amelia Earhart. &nbsp;:)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-117---a-problem-with-lady-spade#post-1142075 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 19:59:20 +0000 lyn* 1142075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Off to run a few errands and a doctor's appointment today! She was very amused by the airplanes on my dress, and her resident tried to name the models of the planes (rather awkward!)</p> <p>I am unsure if Lady Spade is too similar a colour to my jacket? What colour of purse should I be looking for otherwise? Thanks! </p> <ul> <li>Jacket: Danier</li> <li>Dress: ModCloth</li> <li>Scarf: Gift</li> <li>Boots: Aldo</li> <li>Purse: Kate Spade</li> </ul>
