A green handbag

Posted on by

A woman needs lots of handbags. This is a fact.

Of course it isn’t possible to buy several per year, at least most of us can’t afford to. I actually think one shouldn’t.
The answer is going for quality and building up your set of bags over the years.
That means starting with the basics, which are usually black and brown, and then adding less sensible colours. Which depends partly on personal style but should also depend on timeless taste.

Having collected several bags over the years I am not really looking at the basic ones anymore. That’s why last week I stopped in front of a green bag!!
Green, I like this colour. My clothes tend to be very simple and the colours aren’t bright at all. That’s where a, not exactly bright but nevertheless a coloured bag, comes in!!
Dark green but even a brighter one, is really quite good with lots of colours if you think about it. It is better worn during winter but not that bad for the summer months either, as long as it isn’t worn with elegant clothes.

Anyway, here is one I find gorgeous:

I know I said I don’t like bright colours…. there are always exceptions though!
Provided the rest of one’s outfit is extremely simple, one doesn’t invest too much money and does it with summer clothing….one may want to consider something really bright. Like these:

Zara buttoned blazer bright blue

Zara buttoned blazer bright blue

Zara buttoned blazer bright pink

Zara buttoned blazer bright pink

Zara buttoned blazer mint green

Zara buttoned blazer mint green

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and if you think it’s a bit early for the above, which I completely agree with, there’s always a nice bright mid-season coat…

A great blazer

Just fallen for a gorgeous blazer….
I wasn’t going to look at the new arrivals…I really didn’t want to…it’s just, I almost know by heart the winter clothes on the sites I usually look at, and anyway, I didn’t think the new stuff would tempt me yet. I love winter clothes and it is still rather cold…
But I did, I looked, damn me!!!! Of course it was about 10 seconds before I found something really exciting! So, my advice to you is:
look away now if you don’t want to be tempted too!!!!!!!!!!

You haven’t, have you?!
In that case you might as well have a good look at this:


Isn’t it really cute? I love the fact that it is classic but love the gathering on the shoulders which makes it a little different.
I actually like the silk ( I assume) shirt too, both perfect on the jeans. So, you see, you can actually use one of those lovely silk shirts you bought this winter and of course your jeans, the only new item you need is the jacket!! I would wear this outfit with ballerinas or slip-on shoes though, to make it look a bit fresher and spring like, as soon as the weather permits…
If you are going to wear the shirt inside your trousers, it would be really nice to add a nice, thin, bright coloured belt, as long as the rest isn’t bright at all..
