Reader Mail

Hello Shoegal!
I often read your posts and i like your blog a lot! Keep on going!!! ;)
I'm writing this email to ask you for advice.
I'm fond of summer boots to wear with dresses or tight jeans. I just bought high sand colour suede boots to wear this season. However, I don't know what kind of purse to match. What colour should I pick?
Must the purse be in creme suede, as well as the boots?
Please help me on it.
Thanks
Ana



Hi Ana
Thanks for reading the blog and thanks for your mail.
Your boots sound fabulous! I am fond of matching my bag to my shoes, but sometimes it is better to stay in the same colour family rather than go for an exact match. You could try a darker sand colour, or even brown for a bag. Alternatively, pick a purse that picks up a colour from your dress, or blends with other accessories in the outfit – such as your jewellery or belt. Summer is a great time for experimenting with colour, and this year there are plenty of 80s brights around so have fun with it!
You don’t say what style your boots are, but I would go for a slouchy, casual style bag if the boots are a slouchy kind of suede, and a more structured shape if the boots are a smarter style.
I’ve included some ideas so you can see the kind of thing I’m thinking of – all images from ASOS.com.
I hope this helps.

  1. That first bag is beautiful!!!!!!

    Great tips. :) I would like to second the idea of experimenting with colour.

    Or, looking in your wardrobe to see what you already have, and pairing it with those boots to keep in the theme of your outfit (and no, not all 3 colours have to match, they just have to GO together like grey, yellow and red)

    Matching is out. Very out.

  2. Will you show me an example of a summer boot? I've never worn boots except fall and winter.
