Ladies- I need your help. I bought a large Saint Laurent sac de jour in red about 1.5 yrs ago and I think I had carried in maybe 3 times. Resale to yoogis is very low and I always thought red bags were a nice pop of color but I wear a lot of jewel tones and it never feels like the red goes or if it does, it is 1 outfit and I am not into changing my bags daily. Do you only wear yours on limited occasions or do you wear it even when the color doesn't go with your outfit?

Red is surprisingly a neutral color, contrary to what people think. It can go with anything in your wardrobe. Try! You'll love the result.

I find red to be very versatile. It adds a pop of color to neutrals like black, grey, beige, camel, and white. I also think it's good with earthy colors like some greens, brown, navy. The only colors I would shy away from are pink (with red it feels like Valentine's Day), and orange & yellow (unless I was intentionally going for a brights look).

Try looking up some outfits with red on the Internet for inspiration! You'll be surprised how many looks and combos would be great with a classic bag like a red sac du Jour. And if you really can't make it happen feel free to gift it to me. You have a lovely bag!!

I think red is more of a fall-winter color than a spring-summer one. So if you find it too strong currently, you may be looking at it with your summer outfits in mind, I suggest trying to wear it more this fall and winter with your coats. It is great for the festive season (Christmas shopping, anyone?). I think red is fabulous with dark jewel tones and metallics too.
