In my mind, it is warm and luxe and therefore not for summer. I get it about slushy weather, guess I just have faith in the spray I use on my shoes. </p> <p>Nuance and Zaeobi, we orange peons bow down in your glow. It really is a great color on both of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2233291 Thu, 21 Oct 2021 12:19:53 +0000 Zaeobi 2233291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Angie Very wise not to wear suede in the winter. Unfortunately my summers here consist of nothing but sandal weather (even when it's raining), so I don't have the footwear closet space for 'summer suede' </p> <p>@NuanceDream Thank you! You can be my fellow Orange Queen twin - so long as I get to borrow your gorgeous fiery red 'hoodie' dress too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2233241 Wed, 20 Oct 2021 22:38:06 +0000 nuancedream 2233241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All hail the Orange Queen! Can I be your lady in waiting? You know I am totally smitten with your gorgeous dress and shoes. The bag is an unexpected but perfect complement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2233203 Wed, 20 Oct 2021 18:09:51 +0000 Angie 2233203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Zaeobi,</b> the best way to wear suede in Seattle is in the Summer when it does not rain, or to wear pre-treated suede footwear from brands like Aquatalia. I have three pairs of suede shoes - and DO NOT wear them in the rain </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2233128 Wed, 20 Oct 2021 03:12:23 +0000 Zaeobi 2233128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha @Stagiaire Fash I get what you were saying, don't worry - I was just saying that I don't even like to touch his 'BDUs', so he can take them off himself Lol! </p> <p>@Angie Thank you! Would that much suede be able to withstand Seattle's rainy weather though? Have been wondering about this re: your recent post on waterproofing shoes - would doing that alone still be enough to protect such a fabric, in your experience? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232783 Mon, 18 Oct 2021 16:24:34 +0000 Angie 2232783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER fab.</p> <p>*yummy*</p> <p>LOVE the dress with those pretty shoes! You can send them to Seattle, thank you very much..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232464 Sun, 17 Oct 2021 10:39:55 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2232464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg! I was joking, but yeah, can actually totally see that. But still, even if he did wear them out on date night, there would come a time in the at home part of date night that he’d have to take them off, wink, wink, nudge, nudge. That’s when I meant you would keep the belt on. It would go great with your coloring. I’m not good at indirect, suggestive writing, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232444 Sun, 17 Oct 2021 07:11:14 +0000 Zaeobi 2232444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@StagiareFash Yes, that's what I meant - he literally bought his cargo shorts from army surplus stores in the Deep South. He complains about how thick &amp; heavy they are in our humidity but won't give them up, lol. So @CocoLion to say he doesn't understand fashion is an understatement, lol! </p> <p>@Star Thank you! I initially resisted my Deep Autumn 'diagnosis' because I didn't want to be restricted to dull colours. So I've found the best way to still incorporate my love of brights is to anchor them with a dark neutral, for contrast (like the bum bag). </p> <p>Thanks @kkards &amp; @shevia - I'll admit I'm still apprehensive about the 'bum bag' look on me, since I didn't like the 80s/ 90s iteration of them. But I'm hoping this more 'refined' version will help it to not look like I'm stuck in a time warp, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232443 Sun, 17 Oct 2021 07:08:02 +0000 CocoLion 2232443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry, but some male persons just don't understand fashion.&nbsp; I like the belt bag, and -- it sounds like other YLFers approve of it too.</p> <p>In terms of wearing it near him, you could chose a monochromatic teal outfit so he doesn't notice it.&nbsp; Or try strapping it bandolier style with the pouch in front.&nbsp; He might think Mexican Revolutionary rather than street hawker that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232409 Sun, 17 Oct 2021 02:36:11 +0000 Jaime 2232409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

Aww I'm sorry about the bag - set up an eBay alert! </p> <p>Sage advice @Bijou - way to keep the marital peace, lol I've been looking for a small bag like this, in which I can carry all my essentials everywhere without having to switch them out. I was in the middle of converting it into the shoulder strap setting when DH told me it was OK the way it was. Think the practicality of this bag might be slowly growing on him too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232256 Sat, 16 Oct 2021 11:22:43 +0000 Tanya 2232256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in orange!&nbsp; Pretty green dress as well.

I love the bag and especially worn as a belt bag. Just wear it at the times that you are not with DH! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232240 Sat, 16 Oct 2021 09:41:38 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2232240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi five one the belt bag! I like wearing mine too. If I had a husband who didn’t like it, I’d probably wear it on date night and then make him take it off with his teeth, or insist on keeping it on during the latter, at-home, activities of date night, lol. </p> <p>Your post just inspired me to go check on the very small, very flat one I’ve been covering at Sundance. It isn’t there! Not on the outlet page either, sob. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232229 Sat, 16 Oct 2021 08:54:43 +0000 Anonymous 2232229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the orange outfit! The bumbag looks way too refined to look like you're going hiking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232224 Sat, 16 Oct 2021 08:20:42 +0000 Katerina 2232224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit. You look fantastic in orange - wow! Love the dainty shoes with the dress - the monochrome effect is so elegant. Love the teal with orange. The bumbag is very nice. Personally, I prefer crossbody, but it is only a personal preference. If you try to spare your shoulders, wear it at the waist - it looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232219 Sat, 16 Oct 2021 07:26:05 +0000 Zaeobi 2232219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the boost of confidence, ladies! I bought the bag on a whim, because I liked the convertible aspect &amp; that elusive teal green. Wasn't too sure about the gaudy logo but it's growing on me, since I've been leaning into gold hardware lately (as a way to add shine &amp; interest without jewellery). </p> <p>@Brooklyn I know the position that you mean - I wear it like that occasionally when the cross body style feels too 'dangly' (bag hanging from the strap rather than laying flush against it). But I'm trying not to wear bags on one shoulder too often, since I'm currently working on correcting my posture imbalances (getting shoulder pain at my age isn't a good sign!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232210 Sat, 16 Oct 2021 04:18:30 +0000 Brooklyn 2232210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely. And the mask is perfect.</p> <p>With the bumbag, have you tried wearing it with the strap cross body (diagonally across your chest) so the bag sits on your upper back, like a backpack? That’s my preferred way to wear them. (I like it, BTW.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232208 Sat, 16 Oct 2021 02:42:13 +0000 slim cat 2232208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! The bag is fine - I like the versatility of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232207 Sat, 16 Oct 2021 02:29:08 +0000 rachylou 2232207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh most certainly you are our Orange Queen! The belt bag is very refined; it’s great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-orange-katerinas-challenge-teal-bum-bag#post-2232205 Sat, 16 Oct 2021 01:40:19 +0000 Zaeobi 2232205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As promised (albeit late, sorry Katerina!) here's my monochromatic orange look. These sunset face masks are surprisingly versatile &amp; these shoes are comfy enough, so long as you do the strap up tight. The faux suede makes them less suitable for everyday wear though, so I'm thinking of donating them (we just had a typhoon warning in HK, so don't want to wear anything that isn't rainproof for a while yet!) </p> <p>-- </p> <p>Also, this teal bumbag/ fanny pack/ waist bag - yay or nay? Whatever you want to call it, my husband surprisingly hates it! He'll never give up his baggy army surplus cargo shorts because of their practicality (refuses to go for more tapered styles because he'd have to compromise on pocket capacity lol) but he won't 'let' me wear this because he thinks it makes me look like a roadside hawker I can convert it into a shoulder purse (some of you already spotted this with my Disneyland wedding guest outfit, photo #8) or push the pouch onto the small of my back so it looks like a belt from the front (photo #7), but he doesn't like that either because then he can't hug me as easily </p> <p>-- </p> <p>Anyway, I bought it because I wanted to be hands free whilst teaching (but still keep my phone/ key card etc close to me). I'll admit I still have a little poison eye for the very sporty looking pouches, but does this one still make me look like I'm going hiking? </p>
