Etoupe and Gold - Mixing Neutrals

[girlfriday17]

So I just got my first Kelly (a 28 Sellier in stoupe) and want to wear it anytime I can, however a few of my other pieces that I love are in gold (my Oasis sandals which are my dressy go to shoes when we travel and the new strap for my Apple Watch). Would they look odd together? Do I need to re-evaluate a bit my travel/capsule wardrobe?

Congrats! I mix neutrals, and I prefer not to match too much, so I think you are fine. The gold shoes and watch strap will just act like a pop neutral against your bag.

Do the unexpected it usually works out better than you may think, @girlfriday17
I have an etoupe Lindy & wear it with every color in the rainbow (especially white & neutrals)
& it does look well mixed in with yellow gold jewelry which is mostly what I have

Agree! For me personally, as long as I don’t have just one of each, it’s fine. Like 2 gold with 1 Etoupe accessory or vice versa as you were saying makes total sense to me. If you like it, that’s what matters! (And congrats!!)

I agree that you should do whatever you want.
Always trust your own instincts.
If you feel that something isn't quite right, make an adjustment accordingly.
Co-ordination (I know 'matching' is frowned upon in some circles) tends to be a safe way to look stylish (if that is your aim); contrast can be more individual; 'almost but not quite' needs the strongest eye; but what the hell, no-one will die by your choices.

So true. It’s fashion and doesn’t need to be taken so seriously and I like classic with a twist. I never have this issue making choices for my house. I think I may need to play a little dress up one afternoon. Plus sometimes grabbing a scarf can pull the whole thing together.

Good point. Like when mixing metals. It’s about the balance.

I love the etoupe with white. Such a summer look.

Always good advice.

Excellent advice about bringing a scarf into the mix. You’ll likely discover many designs and CWs that bring these colors together harmoniously.

Think it is very fine to mix gold and etoupe. The French will often pair ivory or cream with white and I think that looks so chic and timeless.
