I think Tods did a blue jean color or close to blue jean color thread in a dark brown driver. So you only see a little blue, I know the shoe looked great with blue jeans. I wanted them but out of my size (sigh).
I agree thought that I would not match bag to shoe, unless black I never do, I try to blend it all together, example, I will wear a pair of beige jeans, a white blouse or top, and for shoes I might wear a pair of gold ballet flats that have different shades of gold/yellow and a bit of sky blue and green in it. It's a shoe Manolo did and I love it becuase it works with many different colors. Then I wear my olive birken. it all sort of blends together IMO.
