Oooh, high five Lyn, my Dr. Fossil twin!
Mo, I see bags as an essential part of my outfit, just like shoes or jewelry. I always think about and try to pick the bag that goes best with my outfit. Unlike Anna, I almost always am holding the bag in my WIW shots. I carry my bag with me to work, when I walk to the hospital to get lunch, etc. So I don't have it on me at the office but I still think it's important to have a complete outfit. That said, my plainer bags often get more use because my outfits are so patterned and complex. For example, I have a Kate Spade Japanese Floral print bag that I rarely pull out because it's tricky to mix with my other clothes. On the other hand, one of my most used bags is a Fossil floral satchel that is patterned, but has so many of my fall colors that it usually matches with what I'm wearing. I just think it's fun to match your bag to your outfit!
