How to wear a Kelly casually?

[elliesaurus]

I had color transfer from a black blazer onto a light colored garden party that was awful. The garden party never fully recovered and I was so pissed off at the blazer that I never wore it again.

Seriously though it was my own fault, the blazer was new and had not been dry cleaned. I am now extremely careful in mixing light colored bags with dark clothing.

Audreylita, sorry to hear about your garden party. I'm a jeans girl and ruined the backside of a petal pink BV crossbody bag, which is why I asked this question. I always remind myself that it's okay because I'm not planning to resell the bag and no one sees the backside anyway... But with a Kelly (and any handheld bag, really), I feel like there's more opportunity to show the back of the bag and I really don't want to risk it. I may just have to invest in some other pants and dresses instead...

I don't hesitate to wear light colored bags on dark clothes, as long as they've been properly washed or cleaned. And I'm a jeans girl, too.

A 1975 Marine Blue 35cm Sellier Kelly found me this past week . . . I strapped on an Evelyne strap and took it out to some Chelsea galleries . . .

The blue makes it so easy to create a casual vibe!
