Do I keep this bag??

I’ve had my colours done & I’m a very happy Autumn. Stuck in baggy maternity clothes at the mo so enjoying buying accessories online. I’ve fallen hard for tortoiseshell & ordered this bag (not expensive).

This is how I’d style it post-pregnancy (assuming I’m back into my size 10s 😂) - khaki jeans, cream top, tan boots. What do you think?

LOVE the bag! Wheres it from?

2strands · 30/06/2019 19:09

Love the outfit!

BoronationStreet · 30/06/2019 19:09

I love the boots but not keen on the jumper.

happytobemrsg · 30/06/2019 19:12

@MitziK I hadn’t thought about the textures before. I bought it from ASOS (£25).

@formerbabe, @neveradullmoment99 I wasn’t expecting my boots to divide the crowd too 😂

Thanks @DerelictWreck, @Lily715!! You obviously have awesome style 😋

Thanks to everyone who has given me feedback! I like the bag - it’s fun, a bit different & providing I don’t ask for opinions IRL its small enough to not bring out too many haters when I wear it! I’m trying to venture out of my comfort zone & have a bit of fun with my style (I’ve been stuck in a rut for a long time).

On another note...how do you "get your colours done"?

eurochick · 30/06/2019 19:37

I'm not keen on the bag tbh.

I like the rest of the outfit though. Where are the jeans from? I have been looking for khaki jeans for a while.

If the bag was cheap and you like it and will use it, keep it.
Not loving the boots, sorry.

Oh God, if you like it then wear it. You’ll never get everyone agreeing and who cares what’s in or out of fashion? Last summer everywhere you looked you could see the same Bardot tops, for example. Wear what you want and don’t be a slave to the fashion industry.

I’m not getting rid of the boots - I had them for years 😂

@eurochick the jeans were from H&M- I’ve had them a couple of years though.

I’ll be throwing the jumper out @buckeejit I was just looking for something in my wardrobe which is off white to get an idea. Unfortunately it’s a cropped jumper & I think those days are well & truly behind me now! I had my colours done by Styled By Susie (I’ll have the shape analysis done about 4 months post-partum & I have a personal shop booked with them for March).

It’s from ASOS @NigellasGuest

That’s exactly my thoughts @Mythreefavouritethings. I want to fill my wardrobe with things which suit me, fit me well & make me feel good

Fab styling, cute bag!

Ellapaella · 30/06/2019 20:32

I like the whole outfit @happytobemrsg and think the bag works well with everything. I'm not a Handbag person - they just don't do anything for me, can't get excited by them at all so I'd go cheap as well. It looks fine with the rest of the stuff.
And I love the boots.

happytobemrsg · 30/06/2019 21:00

Ah thanks @nzeire & @Ellapaella.

Ella I love your style on the outfit of the day thread so there’s no way I can send the bag back now it has your seal of approval 😂

I love the outfit too @happytobemrsg
Please ignore the joy sucker above. While it's fine to have different tastes, being complete rude is not fine. Terrible when teenage boys post on S&B for kicks.
