Neutral enough?

fairywings · Dooney & Bourke

I carry a Marc Jacobs Venetia in an off white color (more butter than white) and I have no problem matching to it. It's also nice because it goes with black (whereas a brown bag wouldn't) and I don't have to worry about it getting stained like I would if it were white white. I'm just not sure what color category this falls into exactly; off white or dark brown?

i definitely think mustard is neutral enough. it's one of the most universal colors around imo b/c it goes with so many colors - bright colors as well as black, greys and other neutrals.

I agree. I have a mustard colored belt and flats and they go with practically everything. Today I'm wearing the belt with the jcrew snow leopard cardigan and a dark coral tee. I've also worn it with navy, purple, red, berry....

I wear the shoes for a punch of color in outfits where I'd traditionally wear brown shoes. They go with everything.

Collette · Chanel

I think it's neutral enough, cute bag too!

I can't believe I'm writing this, but do you agree that this bag is neutral enough that it could be carried regularly? I can't think of many colors it wouldn't go well with -- even though the color is "mustard."

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!

I'd wear it as a neutral

Boots · Gucci

I think it's a great neutral. There aren't a lot of colors other than yellow or beige that I wouldn't wear it with.

stardust · Kenneth Cole

I definitely think it is "neutral enough" and will go with a lot of colors. Cute bag!
