I'm never quite sure which purse to wear with my navy clothes... I really need to just buy a red work tote or something. I was running late this morning, so I just came to work with my black purse. Should I have changed to the brown one?

I'm sure there are a fair share of women who switch out the purse they take to work everyday to match their outfit. I personally think it's a waste of time.
im no fashionista, but i wouldve changed bags. but i also don't wear navy for this reason. i dont have time to be matching it appropriately. the only hose you can wear with a navy skirt is nude (well i guess you could wear navy hose...). and then shoes, there is nothing worse in my mind (and this is where i get matchy-matchy) than wearing a navy suit/skirt/pants and black shoes.

then again, i can agree with AF on switching bags being a waste of time: you know how many times i've forgotten my wallet/work ID/metrocard/cellphone, etc from switching bags? its so annoying.
