Help! Panic! Emergency purchase required!

Hola Grin

I have a wedding on Friday.

I have a green dress.

I have black suede shoes.

I have no handbag.

I don't know handbag etiquette.

I know that, technically, my bag should match my shoes.

I know I don't think a black suede bag is very weddingy.

I don't know if I go nudey bag (have something that might do), or green bag or just opt for a Tesco carrier.

Help please! Need to make online purchase today I think!

Grin at Tesco carrier.

Can you link to the dress? Is it plain green or is there a apttern to it? whats the style?

TragicallyHip · 05/04/2011 12:26

Yes to tesco carrier bag, No to nude bag

I think a small black clutch would work

otchayaniye · 05/04/2011 12:26

vintage crocodile off eBay will match anything. Anything classic and on the dainty side and structured would look nice (which is why I suggest a vintage bag or clutch)

you don't have to match shoes and handbag (unless you are the Queen and wear Hartnell)

I quite like this

I like this clutch

I'm wearing this coat with this dress and Chie Mihara shoes a bit like these with opaque black tights.

............and.........to be honest.........I'm having a "FATMONTH" and doubting everything I'm thinking of......so I'm actually thinking of wearing cream wide legged trousers and a dark red silk halterneck instead. Its tried and tested a million times [boring].

wow I love the coat.

looks like it might be tricky to find a bag to go with it. Would def not go with nude. V small and black might actually be OK?

or something ridiculously glitzy like the tiny bejewelled boxes that were all over the Oscars carpet (not actually all over it, though that would have been funny)

Something Silver and glitzy like this

frumpygrumpy · 05/04/2011 19:07

the shoes are similar to Astonish07, not the gold pumps that come up on the link!

I think I might go with the feathers. I can't get around shoes and bag being very different.

Any offers to take it all and go instead of me. Not sure I mentioned my vehement dislike of weddings..........Grin

all looks great -I would go for a classic clutch, something which won't draw attention too much as its all going on with jacket and dress:

to match shoes

or something more plain

classic

something funky
