This one and a couple of others I have that are just like it are from previous years.<br /><b>unfrumped</b>, I'm often drawn to 2-tone bags, also. Transcona Shannon has one by Fossil in two tones of brown that I think is gorgeous.<br /><b>tulle</b>, thanks! I love pebbled leather, too. Glad you like the purple--as Angie pointed out, the EF sweater is a perfect match with my glasses, though you can't really make it out in the photos. <br /><b>Angie</b>, yes, I'm enjoying the mildness, even in spite of the drizzly spells. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1430355 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 21:48:46 +0000 tulle 1430355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a sumptuous bag--absolutely love the texture of the grain.&nbsp; And I love your purple trend, and the way the purples mix with those dark chocolate brown leathers, a very rich mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1430283 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 20:25:40 +0000 Anonymous 1430283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm rather liking seeing you in a little more contrast as in #1. I still love your moody neutrals, but it's nice for a change eh? Those camo boots are just fab as is your bag (great texture). Lovely purple tones in 3/4 and fun playful touch with the buttons in #6 as well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1430090 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 15:25:26 +0000 Angie 1430090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And aren't we having a nice mild Winter this week. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1430066 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 15:05:29 +0000 texstyle 1430066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is really fantastic!&nbsp; The BF cardi is great.

Very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1429962 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:23:56 +0000 unfrumped 1429962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jeans outfits and moto boots. </p> <p>I like 2- tone bags and mixing black with warmer colors.

Love the new handbag. What a fab find. I love the white belt in the first outfit. What a great way to brighten the dark colors. It ties in with the sweater--so pretty. You look amazing in all of your casual looks. Everyone of these is so you and so gorgeous!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1429845 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 04:35:32 +0000 Jaime 1429845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue colors look great on you and are a nice change of pace. Love the bag!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1429784 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 02:30:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1429784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha haha, Suz! Thanks for the bag love, too. </p> <p>Oh, and your comment about the blue reminded me: outfit 1 is my version (a very remote replica, mind you) of Seahawks colors, which are a light navy and bright green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1429780 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 02:24:37 +0000 Suz 1429780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That bag is gorgeous! I love how the texture echoes the texture on the moto boots. It will work really well into your wardrobe and is a terrific shape.&nbsp;</p> <p>Really enjoying the high contrast pops on outfit #1 -- brings out the blue!&nbsp;</p> <p>Interesting what you say about the scarf....oh, you and I could get together and commiserate about scarves for a couple of hours, I'd say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1429769 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 02:11:50 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1429769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Windchime, re: the belt, I cross posted with you! I'm glad to hear you like it. Thanks for all your kind comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1429768 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 02:10:12 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1429768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Torontogirl! The skirted leggings are out of the laundry bottleneck now and ready to wear again. Thanks for the encouragement! </p> <p>Angie, thank you. Glad you like the new bag! Yes, outfit 1 is a little higher contrast than my usual, isn't it? That top is one I usually wear in warmer weather (hence the scarf, to cover the v-neck)--I think I tend to lighten up in spring and summer. I thought about wearing a darker belt, but I liked the way the light one pulled the ivory from the top. I felt I was breaking a fashion rule by "cutting myself in half." Daring, huh?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1429765 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 02:06:38 +0000 Windchime 1429765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 Your white belt looks great with this outfit. It seems to help more clearly define the other pieces.</p> <p>#2 Love that gorgeous scarf with the shades of purple!<br /> #3 You look great in your Kut jeans, and how fun are those mismatched buttons?!</p> <p>#4 What a fab bag. It has beautiful texture and I can imagine it working well with many items in your wardrobe. Enjoy carrying it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1429756 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 01:48:33 +0000 Angie 1429756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the new bag, Sharan. it worked out amazingly,&nbsp;despite the gamble. Great with your favourite tall boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>Super little high contrast accents in outfit #1. A change from your usual low contrast looks - no?&nbsp;</p> <p>And &nbsp;outfit&nbsp;#2 works PERFECTLY with your new specs. Jewel Toned Delight. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1429745 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 01:36:13 +0000 Helena 1429745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice Firecracker; I especially like the boyfriend cardi, and those jeans are very nice! On a different note, I hope we'll continue to see pics of you in your skirted leggings </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cords-jeans-a-new-bag#post-1429741 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 01:31:46 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1429741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits are some days-off looks: jeans, cords, and favorite boots. And a new bag that I was excited to find. I had been wanting a bag in brown and black that would look good with my espresso moto boots. I wanted it to have black on it, so it would pair easily with black shoes and black-based outfits, too. I was sure a Brahmin bag featured at Nordstrom Anniversary Sale last year was going to work, but I didn't like the shade of brown. Finally I stumbled across this Joy Gryson bag on sale recently and took the plunge. It was a gamble, because I hadn't seen it in person, and it was final sale. Fortunately, it turned out to be just what I was looking for! I carried it with the last outfit shown here, and I have included a photo from the website as well as my own photo of it.</p> <p>The outfits (all worn for days off):<br />1-2: Olive skinny corduroys (Kut from the Kloth, Diana); blue, olive, red, and ivory print knit surplice top (made by me); indigo blue merino boyfriend cardigan (Halogen); cream and stone belt; blue on blue textured stripe scarf; olive distressed suede tall boots (Donald J. Pliner, Devi3).</p> <p>3-4: Amethyst and bright purple merino color-blocked pullover (Eileen Fisher) over wisteria thin layering tee; fuchsia and purple scarf (Eileen Fisher); dark bootcut jeans (Hudson, Beth baby boot); taupe nubuck booties (Paul Green, Jano).</p> <p>5-7: Dark straight leg jeans (Kut from the Kloth, Stevie); dusty teal long-sleeved tee (Caslon); blue and sage hand-knit cardigan with mismatched buttons (Amy Brill); brown belt; espresso moto boots (Miu Miu); black and mauve packable, reversible jacket (Mycra-pac); espresso satchel (Joy Gryson, Natalie).</p> <p>8-10: satchel and moto boots.</p> <p>Thanks for looking! Thoughts and suggestions welcome. </p>
