The Colorblock Bag and its Wardrobe

I am so glad I took the wise YLF advice and purchased this Coach bag

I hate to change my purse but this one requires a bit more outfit coordination (or so I thought) than say a solid black or blue bag.
Here are just a few of the outfits I have worn since I've had this bag (and I am in LOVE - perfect size and access and everything. Sigh. If only it had a metallic sibling...) I also brought it on a 5 day trip to Chicago and packed around it. Luckily my preferred palette is Red, Navy and white.
Obviously this works with my wardrobe - I wonder how long I could really go without having to change?

What an awesome set of outfits--that purse is lucky that you are able to accessorize him/her so well! Who knew a colorblock bag could be so versatile. I really liked it when I first saw it but I have no imagination and had a hard time visualizing what would go with it. You've got in nailed though! I can't pick a fave they are all so great but I especially like your other accessory in 10--and those fab gold sandals. Sheesh--you look amazing! 2,3,4,9,10,11 are especially killer.

First off, your daughter is adorable. Maybe you'll just have to challenge yourself to see how long you CAN go without having to change bags. This one is so sharp and should be seen! You have such beautiful pieces in your wardrobe. I especially love 2,5,9,10,11,12.

Just one amazing outfit after another. What a great streak of total fabness. I am so impressed with your styling. Winners all!

The bag is awesome, and what fun you have had using it as a jumping off point.

It's stunning bag and I love your outfits. I hope you don't mind me saying you have great legs! Dresses and skirts are most definitely your friends, but you wear pants equally as well.

All outfits are amazing as you have very nice wardrobe but my favourite is #1 with the bag. Are the khakis in #10 from GAP?
That bag is so unique and definitely worth its price.

Deborah (and abc) thank you and you can tell me I have great legs anytime you want

Mona those are the Caslon khakis from Nordstrom that were part of the sale

Very soft material (a little thicker than the Gap ones) and a good price. I sized up 1 to get a little more slouch (and it's not the most flattering pic)

These are all wonderful looks. I'm glad to see how versatile the bag has become. I can't pick an overall favourite but 2 and 5 stand out for me. You *own* that warm caramel colour!

And your style just keeps on getting better!!! (I just saw the other WIW thread and commented).

The new bag is a neutral that you can work into your style without an extra thought. Well done! YLF!

I've never seen a multicolor bag work so well with so many things including patterns. Your wardrobe is amazingly coordinated and yet all the outfits look different and I love how much color you use. It's like a fine magazine spread. I wish all.my pieces worked this well.
I don't like to change bags either so if I'm going to do so I sometimes dress in blocks of one bag- outfits for a week.

Very well done! Thanks for sharing the outcome. I love the bag, and its wardrobe is just smashing on you. All of the outfits are fantastic. You do look wonderful in those caramel and butterscotch tones.

Awesome! But my fave accessory is the little darling in #10. By the way, #12 is an out of the park hit!

What I find so amazing about your style Jeanne is how you wear dresses and pants equally well. It must be those long gorgeous legs of yours that make them both work!

Again, these outfits are all perfect and the new bag just takes up your style to another level. It is the perfect colour block for your wardrobe.

I'm particularly smitten with outfits #8 and #9 because they have a retro vibe to them that really speaks to me.

And your daughter is positively adorable
