Can you wear a black purse in the Spring/Summer?

I do wear my black bags during the summer but less than at other times of the year. This might change this summer as I recently purchased a white and blue Alexander McQueen scarf and tied it to my black BV last week. It definitely seemed to "lighten up" the bag.

I'm now on the hunt for more pretty and colorful scarves....
 
I also think a black bag is appropriate for year round use. I wear a lot of bright colors in the summer but I think a black bag can still complement these types of outfits. Black is a classic that can be worn in any season.
 
The only black bag I have left is a patent leather clutch which I would only wear in the winter. As far as black bags go, I believe they can look great all year round. I just prefer to wear them in the wintery months, so that I can look forward to changing color. For me, saddle and off white are my prefered colors!
 
I don't feel 100% great with my black leather bags when the sun is out but sometimes there's no getting out of (I'm not taking my hyper-shiny silver Bal bowling to serious work meeting)
So I do wear my black bags but I'd rather wear silver, grey, cream, off white, tan etc. I love straw bags too in whatever colour, I think it's the black plus the leather that just says winter to me. Even having said that it all depends on the bag itself and not only 'rules'.

I use black bags in the summer, but as several posters mention, I do swing towards the brighter ones that I can only carry during the summer months. However, if it looks good with the outfit, you bet I'll bust out my black hobo!
