    Janice, if a woman has all these beautiful items, it's one thing, (and no struggle) but to spend $891 on a pair of pants (Reed Krakoff) to make a bag work? Whoa, I'd be in even further up that creek :)
    You are right, this happened to me once, and the bag sat on a shelf because I did not want to shift my palette to accommodate it.

    I am enjoying this series. You have given me some great ideas and my wardrobe has certainly improved using your adivce. I have less clothes but it is so much easer to dress each day. I bought some brogues last year and would love to see how you would style them. I fell in love them and had to have them! If you are interested the link is http://www.grenson.co.uk/en_gb/shop/womens/emily-13661. Thank you, Maryann

    I'd be very interested in brogues styling suggestions; I really love the Grensens linked above as they are stylish and not too traditional. I'm a real tomboy, but need to be careful (at 50+) not to go overboard with masculine tailoring – it can look a bit grim. So some ideas for a good masculine/feminine balance incorporating these would be really helpful!

      Hi Alice, The reason I bought them is that they are not too tradtional. I fell in love woth them. I am a 55 tomboy and agree that it is a fine balance when style brogues. Maryann
