Okay, I've completely caught Obsessive Compulsive LAMB disorder, and need some insight, advice & perspective about accessories from those of you with more experience and more LAMB
I'm noticing that when I open my new B&W checkd Montego Bowler, I'm getting a little ashamed of my (nice, but ho-hum) wallet, cosmetic bag and other "stuff" inside. Oddly, they seem fine in every other bag I own - but with this bag - the strong visual impact of the checkerboard pattern in combo with the striped interior just screams for some equally sharp accessories inside.
It's making me a little nuts (or more nuts than usual) so I know I need to upgrade the accessories, and quickly, otherwise I'll just obsess endlessly (aka shop) and never get anything done meanwhile. I've been looking at LAMB as well as some other designers for accessories and just am confusing myself more and more.
Can you more experienced LAMBsters weigh in with how you accessorize the interior of your bags - and to what extent?
Do you go 'matchy-matchy' with the bag? If so - how far do you take it? And how/where do you find all of the smaller LAMB pieces - can they be special-ordered?
If you do not go matchy-matchy, and mix it up a little - say mixing LAMB colors/patterns - or even maybe using another designer (EEK!! haha), do you get obsessed about trying to match the metal trim color of the bag (ie silver trim vs gold) as I have been doing LOL?
This B&W chek'd Montego is my first LAMB - and I purchased it exactly because it's such a strong visual statement. Still, I'm finding out, people really LOOK when I carry that bag - especially here in Chicago, where the local 'style' is somewhere below 'form, function & flying under the radar'.
I find that I am needing to step up my own game a little in order to live up to this handbag -- which is not a bad thing, trust me! (where is the "how my new bag changed my life" thread, anyway...) With the wallet & accessories that I have now - they just aren't right with the statement this bag makes. Every time I pull out my safe, conservative wallet from this hawt baby, or my (now dowdy-looking by comparison cosmetic bag) I feel like I'm showing that I wear granny pants LOL.
Thanks in advance, everyone for your thoughts.
