I am a (somewhat sporadic) follower of Blair Eadie. I have noticed of late that she is coordinating shoes and bags and mostly in neutral colors -- blacks or browns.
I am so happy to see this revivial! I only hope that some posters who in the past found such gleeful joy in pointing out women who match at out of touch, dated and not relevant, can now swallow their words.

2zbeach, I am carrying a brown handbag right now and it doesn't bother me to carry it when I am wearing brown, blue, black or even red shoes. I'm speaking from a daily, going to work perspective where I wear loafers most of the time.
If I am going somewhere more dressy, I then pay closer attention to the bag and shoes matching.

Unless I am going to a dressy occasion, I usually have a black handbag. If I wear browns I wear my taupe bag. In the summer, I generally carry white and I wear a lot of white and color. I also have a sun yellow bag.

In the winter, I usually match because I wear black boots most of the time and carry a black purse. In the summer, I never match. I wear several different color sandals, usually try to match them to my outfit and I carry a neutral bone/ivory color purse.

I like to match in all seasons except summer... ETA: maybe I should have written "be in the same color family." I rarely go anywhere that calls for dressing in such a way that shoes and purse would be exactly the same. If I feel that the bag and shoes coordinate, I feel comfortable with that.
If someone is going to be in a situation (for example -- a job interview) then I would suggest matching shoes and purse. Just 'cause, you never know the taste of the person who will be making the decision. That is what I would do.

I was born without the handbag gene. I really don't worry about it, and I might only change it twice a year. I'm still carrying this one.

I usually carry a black bag since most of my shoes are black but I carry different VB bags also. I do have a taupe croco D&B bag I carry too but I don't own any brown shoes or bags; I carry it with tan or bronze shoes. I don't change bags that often unless I am downsizing for church or a social event. I to match my shoes to my outfit but not my bag.

Decades ago, yes. Whenever I bought a pair of shoes, I bought a purse to match. And in cold weather, my leather gloves matched my purse and shoes also.
Those days are gone! I have one purse for winter, and one purse for summer. However, they usually sit in my closet because I tend to carry everything I need in jeans' pockets anymore.
