Do you match the hardware on your bags and accessories?

I do this too. It drives me nuts when my jewelry and shoes and purse doesn't go with my outfit. I'm constantly told by people at school that I always match everything.
The upside to this is that you can use your need to have everything matching as an excuse for buying more things.

The only thing that bothers me is when my sunglasses (which have a bit of gold in the frame) don't work with my earrings - in other words, silver earrings don't look right with my glasses (which are never off my face). I think it is about proximity. I'm not affected by my bag's hardware. You could go nuts trying to get everything to match and it isn't a good look anyway. It looks contrived, like a painting over your couch that matches your room colors.
Actually, I never thought of it! 
(Now I'll probably start doing that or at least be conscious that I may or may not match.)
I wear almost all gold all of the time. Some outfits I'll wear my silver stuff with but my hubby has bought me all gold jewelry and that's what I stick with.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who did this. I'd add too, that hardware on my shoes and belt buckles have to match too. Right now, for example, I'm wearing heels with a silver buckle. That means silver earrings and, if I were wearing a belt, silver hardware there too. My husband thinks I'm insane. He's probably right, but at least I match!
haha you're not crazy... i'm not as obsessive compulsive as you... just kidding!!!- but i do tend to match the hardware of my sunglasses and handbags, jewelry, etc.
Nope... definitely not consistent.. but again most of my jewelry are stones.. and a majority of my bags are two toned.
I do this A LOT! I only own silver jewelry and the closest thing I have to anything gold-like are the accents on my David Yurman jewelry. I used to go out of my way to buy bags that have silver-toned hardware. However, after buying a LV Speedy, Coach bag, and MJ Stam all with gold hardware, I'm trying to get over it. I don't match my shoes with my bags as much though.
