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

Not since the 80's and 90's when I had every color under the rainbow of Liz Claiborne handbags and Keds tennis shoes. Not to mention the big bow in my hair matched all as well. I was such PTA Mom. But I grew old and got wise, it does not matter anymore. But still looks good when I see others still put together like that.

I never change my handbag! I have a black leather MK that I love and will use it till it falls apart! I can't imagine changing bags everyday.

Prior to wearing smaller cross-body bags as I do now, I carried a somewhat larger black leather shoulder bag with dark brown edges on the leather that I carried for years!

ETA: It went with everything in my neutral wardrobe... perfect!

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

I don't have the time to change my bag out every single day. I carry "stuff" in my bag, it wouldn't be possible. I have a lot of bags and change my bags weekly or bi-weekly and when I do, I build my outfits around the bag and footwear. For example, this week I carried my dark brown Roma 2 bag. So, I wore my dark brown boots and shoes. I wore a tweed coat that is in shades of browns and grays and all week my clothing was in the brown/tan/gray/black colors. It sounds like a lot of effort but it truly isn't. I like to look really nice and pulled together. That takes some effort, it doesn't happen by itself.

No. I only have a few and they are neutrals. Generally, in the fall and winter, I may carry one bag the entire season. During spring and summer, I change more frequently, but still in the neural family. They go with my entire wardrobe.

No. But I try not to clash too much.

Only if I'm wearing camouflage while hunting.

Yes, I change my bags all the time. Takes me about 45 seconds to reach for a different bag on the shelf and swap my stuff over. Takes longer to lace up shoes.

It depends on where I'm going and what I'm doing and sometimes what I'm wearing, so yes I do. I happen to love handbags though, so it's just my thing.

Definitely, I change my handbag depending on my outfit, and I change my shoes depending on my outfit.
