What color bag and shoes?

[Anonymous]

I just bought a new interview outfit that's got navy pants and navy/green/white blouse, and I need to buy some shoes and a bag to wear with it. But when I look at handbags there's nothing navy. It is, apparently, not an "in" color, as far as I can tell. So what color bag does one buy to carry with navy pants, and what color shoes go with it?

I would wear yellow shoes and a purse. Or if you are looking for a more subdued look then, metallic or black shoes or purse.

Can I really get away with black? I'd love to buy a nice handbag, and my budget is not that big so if I could use the same handbag and shoes for this and for other outfits that have black in them, that would make me very happy.

Yes, black is fine. Classy really, and then if you want to add a small pop of color wear a yellow or even a green ring or yellow or green bracelet or none at all. But yes I wear black shoes with my navy suits all of the time. Navy's are so hard to match anyways that I have never found navy shoes I like.

Can you get a nice dark brown bag? Or a grey one? (And another good luck!)

Eek not black please. Navy is supposed to be work with brown tan or nude. I would actually go with nude or tan shoes (for this weather) and a tan or brown or even grey bag. Not black. Also I've seen navy bags everywhere. What's your price range?

I would agree with nude. Not yellow for an interview.

Yellow looks good with navy but that's too bright for a job interview unless you're in a creative field. Go with nude shoes/neutral bag.

You could totally do a black bag, though.

For an interview you want conservative, so I would probably do navy pumps and a cognac bag. Last time I checked, Ann Taylor had some nice conservative navy heels--they can be hard to find.

Nude or tan. Make sure your bag isn't giant...

I would go with a classic black bag, not too big. Black shoes too - classic.

I wear brown shoes with navy. Or black.
