Oh my God.  I wouldn't dream of wearing co-ordinated shoes and handbag any more than I would wear matching necklace and earrings!

Well I find if I am in a hurry just dress all in black and wear coloured shoes with a coloured bag.

I have quite a few handbags but find storing them a problem so I vowed not to buy more until I find a tidy way of keeping them.


My Mum's handbag is HUGE and is always full. Apart from all the usual stuff she always has something funny picked up from school in there (she teaches at an infant school) such as a green army man, or a hair scrunchie or something. I always joke that she has a hatstand and an anvil in there too

I would like a handbag room like you see in celebs houses on MTV's Cribs. I would have them all hanging up on the wall and I would have all my shoes in clear boxes. At the moment all my shoes are in their boxes with descriptions on the side: flat red, high black etc.

Oh Loulou you are a woman after my own heart, I too have many bags and have great difficulty weeding them for the charity bags etc.  I too dream of a bag room, my friends just don't understand me!!   My friend has a similar problem with shoes, although she is not as enthusiastic as I am with the bags. I don't colour co-ordinate so much although I do sometimes match my coloured bags to jewellery I wear.  I know it's sad!  I would love to own a Lulu Guiness one day, can't afford it yet though so it's back to the old Jane Shiltons for me

I like to co-ordinate my jewellery to my outfit. If I am wearing dark orange, I wear amber jewellery.

I do co-ordinate jewellery to clothes - I just have a horror of matching earrings and necklaces!

Most of my jewellery is silver and I have a few strings of beads in various colours but not being a necklace wearer I usually just match my earrings with a bangle.

Some men need to go back to matching shirts and ties. The weatherman on tv the other day had a blue tie on with a brown shirt and it looked terrible.
