Do you match your bag with your shoes?

Hmmm... generally, I am not as put together as I used to be, because I used to be really anal about things being a certain way...

I usually buy handbags w/ color, so they end up going with black or brown based outfits.... I still have to really stretch to be able to wear brown w/ black, and in some cases can't do it. I can't really mix metals, but I am trying to dive into that, with all of the beautiful bags out there w/ gold hardware! (Coach brass doesn't seem to bother me like shiny gold.)

I think the old shoes belt bag matchy matchy thing is a little old fashioned. I say just try to wear coordinating things that you love and feel good in. Feeling good in what you wear is worth a lot more than matchy matchy

I have a friend who felt the need to match because a fashion police co-worker told her bags and shoes must match. Please, appropriately wear what you like. Personally I don't match too much at all and think I look lovely.

Do you? Is it so OUT to match? Do you like to match but just can't be bothered?

I normally never care to be matchy matchy, and in fact strive to be anti-match, but this is one area where I prefer to match...

im not overly matchy-matchy but i believe its a rule of fashion to match bag, belt and shoes. i don't obsess over matching *exactly*. but, if im wearing brown shoes i wear a brown belt and carry a brown bag.

Eh, I match to an extent. I don't like carrying a brown bag with black shoes just b/c it's a pet peeve but it doesn't have to match exactly either. Say, red shoes and a black bag? I wear that all the time.
