Only the other night, I went out with my lucite bag, which inside contained a matching powder compact and a matching comb, no one knew but I did and it gave me joy, perhaps weird but I love it!
Here is my bag and the picture after are the matching accessories, all bought separately of course. Perhaps one day I'll get some gorgeous shoes to match!
So I had a look online to see other matching items and I came up with a few.
This is just a gorgeous picture from Life!
These are just a beautiful pair of shoes with matching handbag.
And I've saved the best for last, oh my god if I could have this set, it actually makes my heart beat slightly quicker, the colour, the style *swoon*
So are you a matching type or do you hate it?

Yes I love it, I particularly like dresses and shoes that match or coat and hat.
Love it! I remember ages ago when I was first really starting to get into vintage clothes I polled some friends on LiveJournal about matching (yes, that long ago!) and everyone was pretty much horrified at the idea. Oh well, I disagreed with them all and did it anyway! Of course, they also thought stockings and peep toes was bad as well, and I know they didn't have those toe-free stockings back in the day. ;)
I've always thought it was very sophisticated and classy. Sadly I've never pulled it off to the level of gorgeous matching sets like you've shown. But if I pull in a complementary color I will make sure at least one accessory matches, or I feel 'off'! Once we move and I have more a little more space for things like shoes and purses, I definitely want to try and round out some of the holes I have in that regard. :)
I love matching but also love mix matching too.
your bag and comb accessories is so gorgeous.
besios
I like a bit of matching. I like bag and shoes matchy matchy...that last set is to die for!xxx
An outfit needs some co-ordination in order to pull it together and make it look "finished" properly.
I don't care if it's a faux pas to think so because I don't subscribe to loads of fashion wisdoms - leggings being a substitute for skirt or trousers being just one of many!
I tend to match but only because a lot of my shoes are black or brown...and so are a lot of my bags!
I don't mind tonal matches (which, in the UK, many people would have as in days gone by people tended to have a few 'good' shoes and bags not loads- perfect match was desirable but not realistic for most British women) and even outright/outrageous clashing at times.
My only pet hate is the brown/black or navy/black clash which just shouts 'these shoes don't match'. But then again, for brown/black...leopard print is a wonderful solution...
I love matchy matchy too, oh those green shoes and matching handbag are making me drool!
BTW met you t'other night at Ric Rac and confessed you were my idol as a teen (about TWENTY years ago aaargh!! showing our age)! Lovely to meet you in the flesh, looking gorgeous! Hope to hear you sing again one day :)
Ah Sorcha it was lovely to meet you and you really did make my night you were so lovely!
I love all things matchy matchy, but I don't think I've EVER been fortunate enough to find vintage pieces that matched so perfectly. Swoon!
I match things as often as I can! If my shoes or bag are really unique and can't be easily, matched, I don't worry about it but I usually match my accessories to be the same color or complimentary colors as the rest of my outfit. I wonder why and when that became a "don't" I think it's always a do! :)
Wow, your bag is something else! I'm loving those green shoes, too.
I don't generally do matching - undies, bags, shoes, you name it. I'm not adverse to anyone else doing it, I'm just odd. x
I think you know that I'm a matchy matchu fan,but I do like to try and push myself not to!!! If I had exact sets like these,I'd be totally unstoppable!Your lucite set is to die for!XXX
I love it! Matching vintage bags and shoes are the best!
I'm with you Fiona, I feel wierd if I don't match things up, just the way I was brought up I guess!! I can't get the hang of this clashing business!!
I LOVE matching....especially shoes and other accessories!!!
Aaaah, brown shoes and bags love!
I like matchy-matchy. It looks complete, thought-out, as though an outfit has been carefully contructed rather than thrown together from random separates.
I colour match ALWAYS! I always have done, always will. I wear black, Navy, red, pink and white about 95% of the time. Even though only a small portion of my clothes are actually vintage, the things I do have are in these colours! I pick out my bags and shoes to match as well, and wear matching jewellery of course too. Mis-match looks fabulous on some people (Dora, Vix) but its just not me! I LOVE your confetti box bag by the way. I have some confetti screw backs that match it perfectly! ;)
I do love matching (or as close as possible!) Really love matching undies too!!!
I have quite a lot of Cath Kidston bits and I love it that my iPhone case, purse and Handbag all match. It is twee but who cares!
Love the green shoes/bag combo!!! x
Oh My goodness your Lucite bag is gorgeous i have never seen one like that its a beauty. Im with you on this topic i like to match everything up to but then as you know i love the 50's to ;-) dee x
I love matching my accessories. I generally go for a colour theme and tend to like to limit to 2 or 3 main colours. I love and admire those who can mix more colours together but I always feel a bit messy &, I suppose it says something of my personality, but I need more control. And that purse and the accessories are to die for!

Love it!!
The green ones are just to die for
I'm with you, I am not comfortable unless I'm matching. Shoes to purse, earrings with bracelet and or necklace, sometimes belt with shoes. I feel so much put together. I even try to match coats if the weather needs one.
I suppose if I am going to go to the trouble of doing my hair and make up in a certain era, shop for the clothes online and anywhere else I can, I am going to also emulate the era and match. Like I said in the first paragraph, I just feel more put together.
I’m a matchy match. I think it’s an addiction
