Dear Kelly,
I often carry a nice big leather tote bag to work, but I’m not sure it looks or feels right if I take it to happy hour drinks or an after-work dinner. I need all the space for my work stuff, so a smaller bag won’t do. What is the best way to go from work-day to evening?
Sincerely,
Nina
Dear Kelly,
Is it okay to wear a bag with gold hardware when you are wearing silver accessories?

Dear Becky,
Dear Kelly,
What is the most fun/flirty bag you've seen so far for Fall '09?
Sincerely,
Looking for Inspiration
Dear Kelly,
When I think of the 80’s, I think of hideous fashion: neon colors, fishnet stockings, exercise clothing, and lightning bolt earrings! I’ve resisted the trend so far, but this 80’s thing doesn’t seem to be going away. Is there a way to incorporate some of these trends without looking like a fashion victim? And are there any designers who interpreted the 80’s in a fresh and sophisticated way?
Sincerely,
Not Wanting to be Pretty in Pink
Dear Kelly,
I'm a 37 year-old professional woman from Chicago IL, and I have been invited to an art gallery opening in two weeks. I would like to make a great impression on everyone, but being around all these artsy types makes me a bit nervous! I fear they will all be dressed to the nines, and I will just blend into the background. I would love to look chic and stylish, but I usually just end up looking blah. I have a beautiful animal print clutch that I’ve never used because I don’t know what to wear with it, but this seems like it could finally be the right event. Should I find an animal print dress or top to wear with it? I'm new to the art scene but desperately want to look stylish, Help!
