Getting away with a pink bag

I love that pink Michael Kors bag and I am not a huge MK fan.

I am 55 and if I found a pink bag I liked, I would rock it out with navy blue, gray, black, white, would look great with all those colors. I particularly like bright pink with navy and pale pink with grays.

My brightest bags are a yellow clutch and a yellow, blue and white bigger bag. Our local college football team colors are yellow and green, so they got a work out when I worked somewhere that dressing in team colors was encouraged periodically (yes, I even have a UofO team scarf).

Brights cheer up our dreary Oregon winters, that's for sure.


Thank you! I'm not a huge MK fan either but the collection bags are really nice and a tad more subtle.

Oregon brightens my winters (and my summers) my Four graces Pinot shipment just arrived yesterday. Nothing like it! I'm attending an Oregon Pinot wine dinner on Tuesday at the wine bar where I threw my DH a surprise 40th bday party - the theme - Oregon wine of course! I'm obsessed! I am hoping to plan a return trip for our anniversary on the summer so that we can really enjoy the vineyards (and the tax free shopping)
 
I felt that when I was discovering who I was in my early steps as an adult..No wild colours, just plain and simple. Now, I feel like I want to add colour to my life. I just bought a MK Hamilton in Zinnia. I will have this purse forever! I'll still be using it in 20 to 30 years! Who cares what others think, if you enjoy it. Enjoy it!

Yesterday I saw someone dressed all in black/gray with a Coach Hailey (hobo) in this exact colour and she looked fabulous.

Hi ladies! Just looking at my past threads. Fast forward today, 5 years from when I started the post, I’m still wearing my pink bag! And I’m in my mid 40s! Thank you for your words of advice! If it makes you happy, go for it!
Missed your posts from 5 years ago until you reposted now. Totally with you and this thread. Go for it if you love it!

I’m in my midforties (not sure how that happened as I don’t feel it!) and I love pink. I have various accent pieces in bright or pale pink: jackets, belts, shoes and bags. Tend to only wear one piece though otherwise it’s too much. Love to brighten up an outfit with a pink bag. I hope I’ll never be too old for that! Here are some of the pinker side of my bag collection:upload_2018-11-16_22-49-30.jpeg:

Anyone else got any pink bag inspiration pics to share?

When I buy a pink Valentino tote, I dare anyone to say a word about it.
I think it also depends on the style of the bag and the shade of pink. ;)
(I am 51)

Edit: After thinking about it, I have a berry pink bag already. Stam. Admittedly it's not a baby pink or Pepto pink, but still in the pink family.
Second edit: LOL! I have 2 pink bags.

I am sooo in love with these bags and their colors!!!
 
my neon pink Lily (Mulberry) has travelled with me across half Europe in the summer, and apart from wearing this eye-watering pink bag i am also wearing a neon green scarf! i am 38

Not only is your Lily is absolutely gorgeous but you take the most artistic pictures of her to show her so beautifully. Puts my publicity shots to shame.

So many of my favourite things: Pink, Mulberry and the ancient city in Rome! Thanks for sharing.

I love pinkand I have no issues wearing pink clothes or shoes. However, I feel it's kinda tacky for someone like me who's almost turning 40 to be wearing a pink bag. I have a pochette which I believe is not to loud given it's size but I don't know about having a medium sized or large pink bag though. I would love to have one but I want your opinions about this. TIA!

I'm 48 and will wear pink from head to toe including the bag in one outfit....full on pink!
Love what you love and don't think about age :)
