I agree that there are fit issues which make her appear a bit sloppy. Also too much of a good thing is too much. The handbag and shoes make the outfit appear contrived.

What, she couldn't have come up with some polka dot shoes?  How about a plaid handbag?  You can see what I think of this whole idea.  And don't get me started on men mxing different patterned ties, shirts and sportcoats.
