Today I thought that I would write about some of the new Autumn accessories – bags and shoes are a good way to update an outfit. There are many new styles currently arriving in the shops. If you are in a bit of a quandary organising or refreshing your Autumn wardrobe it might be a good idea to consider adding a new bag or a new pair of shoes to jazz things up a bit. A colourful bag is a good way to add some colour to an outfit. Alternatively, if you prefer to play safe you can’t go wrong with a neutral colour such as black, navy, brown or beige.

Bags and shoes to update an outfit
What’s not to like about a new pair of shoes? I know that a couple of my trainers are past their best and need to be replaced. I have featured a couple of the new FitFlop styles. Their shoes really are comfortable and they have some really funky colours and patterns in their new collection. I have not worn a pair of loafers for ages but maybe I should consider them again. I like the look of the slipper loafer, simple yet elegant. They would work with a dress or a pair of trousers.

You’re right, Josephine. Shoes and purses can update an outfit and what female doesn’t like that? Unfortunately, the shoe I like is sold out, boo-hoo.
Josephine- A modern (meaning up to date) purse & shoes can really pull all your outfits up ten years!!! I just bought two pairs of good leather shoes yesterday and a new leather tote as well!! I didn’t even own a tote!!! Just so happy I made these decisions!! I may go back and buy another pair of shoes that I’m also considering!! I’m careful with my money so I don’t consider shoes at $200 without some thought!!! Basically, how they’ll work in my wardrobe!!!
ALL THOSE LOVELY COMFY SHOES YET NONE THAT WOULD FIT MY SLIM FEET. RIEKER ARE THE ONLY ONES I CAN FIND WITH A NARROW FITTING HEEL BUT EVEN THEIR TRAINERS SLIP ON AND OFF HOWEVER TIGHLY I FASTEN THEM. NARROW FITTINGS ARE TOO NARROW ACROSS THE FRONT – FEET SPREAD WITH AGE. ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE?
Thank you for the great ideas for crossover handbags! After 35 years maintaining my 260 beloved Austin roses, my shoulder is too painful for my beloved Coach shoulder bag. I had to downsize to a tiny crossover bag! It has been quite traumatic! It’s only large enough for wallet, keys and lippy! But my shoulder is much happier!

Hi Sue
I have a similar problem with my left shoulder having fallen off my bike. So these days I only wear small bags.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that! It is nice to have someone that understands, however. I like the looks of that little canvas one from Nordstrom. It looks nice and light weight.
