What colour of bag with purple shoes?

[Fimbo]

Have purchased purple mary-jane style shoes about the same colour as the header on "advanced search"/mumsnet talk bit at the side.

I don't want matchy matchy. Wearing shoes with navy, so thats my thought. But navy bags along with shoes always look a tinsy bit granny like, no?

Ello Fimbo!!
hmmm. Agree about the navy matchy thing, and shhh don't tell my mum she's in her seventies and does just that (as you say...) but I'm not that sure I'd want a purple bag either I think I'd go for something nondescript pewter/silverish? But as you know I'm no fashion guru. Being me I am addicted like scarves, so I'd be tempted to go for something with purpley blues in and perhaps link in the silvery colours that way?

tricky- I'd have gone for navy shoes and a whacky shocking pink or silver bag.

maybe black patent?

silver!

Hello Giggle!
I have a scarf too, which is navy with cream polka dots. The whole outfit is navy (but stylish !), the purple shoes are to lift it all, then a cream mac on top.

Maybe silver would work.

Thanks

Pewter.

Can you post a link to the shoes, they sound ace.

Pewter definitely.

Loving your description of the colour

Whats the budget?? is it for day or evening....

How about this, very dark purple...

clutch

will compliment but not be matchy matchy..??

Mary I think that bag is almost the exact colour!

It is for a 50th anniversary day time "do". I need something biggish to hold all the usual child paraphenlia crap.

The shoes are from Marks & Spencer believe it or not, but are not on their website for some reason. Similar can be found in Next, will try and see if I can find a link.

They are not unsimiliar to \link{http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/women/shoesandboots/36/15?extra=sch&n=women&pid=736-331&exclude=00E00|00ED00&returnurl=%2fshop%2fattheel-heel-gattgender-women-cat-shoes-cat-boots-0%3fx%3d1%26nxti%3d0%26nxtv%3d0%23736-331&bct=%26quot%3bShop%20By%20Product%26quot%3b%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bHeel%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bWomen%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bShoes%26nbsp%3b%26gt%3b%26nbsp%3bBoots\these} which quite frankly are hideous in brown. The purple are delightful with a sort of slight black line round the edges.

charcoal grey? Mulberry?

and if you're feeling very very adventurous how about a nice egg yolk yellow?

Teal green. No question.

Now I am all confused again! Will rake through the hell that is T K Maxx tomorrow maybe.

Try nude patent or defo grey tho not silver.

no to nude anything i think it`s horrible (except dh)
