Do you change your handbag to match your outfit???

emmysmom — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 15:04:55 GMT

Well its Spring, and I put away my leather bag and using my Vera Bradley bags..I have so many colors! My friend changes her bags, daily, regardless of the season! I love that! She's a stylist and an interior designer and she knows her stuff. She's older, and dresses young! Love that too..so she has become my mentor! Looking at the Lily Pulitzer lookbook for Target, put me in the mood for bright pinks, corals, turquoise..etc I am SO ready for a change!! I also checked out Vera B's website, btw they have free shipping that expires today~

Nope. I am a silver/white gold gal and my silver Coach (LOVE it!) goes with everything! Besides there's WAY too much stuff in that baby to be moving it to a new ""home"" everyday.

No, I carry neutral color leather bags, year round, so no need or desire to be changing out my bags daily. I guess I'm not that ambitious, .

I only change my bag if I have another bag that I feel will complement what I'm wearing better.

Depends on where I'm going. I have a couple of ""go with everything"" bags and I have a lot of ""jazzy"" bags.

I use a Travelon organizer for everyday/running errands.

When DH and I go out or for social gatherings, I use a nicer purse. I have about a half dozen, mostly neutrals, and not enough to match every outfit.

I love handbags! But as a matter of priorities, I try to keep the number low.

No because it's more or less what I ""feel"" like carrying and I trade off every few weeks. I do tend to have shoes that blend or match with the bag....

Sometimes, or I pick an outfit that coordinates with what I already have loaded up... I don't match so much as coordinate and this is one big reason why I tend to prefer neutral color bags and minimize the number of colored bags I use.

Nope. I have 3 outfits, but only 2 handbags. Great excuse for a new handbag!

My favorite of the "newies" is Ziggy Zinnia, which I didn't care for until I saw it in person. So a new handbag here!

Since retiring, I now change out practically every day... lots of times only need a small carryall ... it's a freeing experience!

No. I usually buy neutral bags that can go with anything.

Same here.

Always. I would never carry a handbag that clashed with my outfit. There was a time my handbag and shoes had to match. Now I've softened to coordinate.

I carry neutral handbags that match my shoes. I guess I am a dinosaur because I have noticed I am in the minority regarding shoes should match the bag.
