Hey Pres,
I am looking for a new spring handbag. But, what is the really new style and color for spring? I am thinking yellow to go with my wardrobe of browns, blues, greens, but am wondering if this is too much for everyday. Maybe peanut?
Thanks!

This is an issue in wardrobe management, and so I have some suggestions.
I usually have one winter bag (for most days) and one summer bag, and both of them are high end (the best that I can afford), very beautiful, and in a very basic neutral. Black for the winter; with some glowing neutral trim, and a summery Black/multi that goes with most of my clothes (especially since I never match the bag to shoes or belt.) Then, if I want to take a flyer on a trendy, non-basic color or cute shape, I add those in a much less expensive type of bag. If the color goes out, or if it just works with a few things, nothing great has been lost. I wouldn't invest in a yellow bag; I'd buy a really cute one in an inexpensive material (like straw) and I'd wear it out, if I could. Peanut counts as a summer neutral, and will support most outfits, for a long time. Yellow is trickier, and will add more punch.
