Pink, green, yellow?

Meowingkitty — Mon, 10 Feb 2014 00:06:48 GMT

Do people regularly carry purses in these colors that they show on the DB show? I have tons of bags and the are either brown, black and I have one white bag. I carry the same bag for months and don't change frequently. I don't see women here in Arizona carrying colorful bags very often.

It's all a matter of personal taste and style. And yes, I carry colorful leather handbags, and I change my handbag several times a week.

I have colorful bags, but mostly opt for neutrals. When I do choose or wear a color, it tends not to be a pastel. They're pretty, but they just aren't typically my style.

Would never carry a black, brown, gray, tan, etc., bag during the spring and summer months- I have pink, blue, yellow, white, green, etc., bags for those months in leather and other materials- LOVE color!

I do love off-white, bone, vanilla... (and so on) color leather in summer... Color is nice too, but if neutral is your thing, there are lighter neutrals to select for the warmer weather months. I don't care for stark white, though many love it for summer wear.

There are NO rules anymore, and sometimes we need to feel happy because of the dreary, cold weather, and a colorful handbag can boost your spirits in such a great way. Do what you want and who cares what anyone else thinks! Life is short and make every day a happy and colorful day of your life. That's what I do and it truly does wonders!

I mostly stick to basics but I do love colorful bags. I have a yellow Dooney that I am going to get out this spring, I have not carried it for a couple of years. I think it is cheerful.

I dress in a lot of black and brown...so I always try to 'pop' that color as they say, with my handbag and shoes. I LOVE yellow bags esp....and this winter, used a lot of brighter red bags.

I change my bags often. I bought a new black bag this year but prior I don't think I purchased a black or brown bag in years.

Whatever makes you smile the most!

Absolutely. I have lots of neutrals, and more than my share of pink, blue, yellow, etc. I have a hot pink and black snake bag. It's gaudy and in your face, and I love it. And I don't care if other people hate it and judge me badly for carrying it. I look at my bags as one of the ways I can express myself and have some fun, and carry something I like to look at. And that's different on different days.

I used to only carry black or brown during the fall season, & tan or off-white during the spring summer. I got over that & now have fun with colors. My favorite is an orange D&B, though it's a little on the heavy side. More recently, I've carried a bright yellow Tig crossbody that I bought a year ago. Nice to have a little sunshine on the often dreary days of winter! I''m trying to downsize as I hope to retire soon, so not buying any more handbags.

I love colorful bags and think the pinks, yellows, and aqua bags are lots of fun. I love the candy colors of the patent leather Dooney bags in the candy colors are fantastic! I would get the crossbody if it were a little larger or the Zip Zip satchel if it had a crossbody strap.

I change my handbag often, and I enjoy carrying a colorful bag during the spring and summer months. I have leather bags in pink, orange, light blue, green, yellow, etc. I have fun with handbag colors. I even occasionally carry a patterned Vera bag...shocking as that may seem to some. lol...Life is short, live it.

I only go for color in the summer, and even then, generally not in leather. The other three seasons I choose neutral leather bags. I do have some fabric/leather combos that I go to in the fall also.

I too sometimes focus more on less costly, often fabric bags in a few colors for summer use. If I'm spending a significant sum though, it's typically not going to be a seasonal print or color.
