New red patent bag

I got this Monsac bag during one of SmartBargains' amazing time-limited sales. It is exactly the red I wanted - a deep shade called "Claret" - which is very important since I'm a little scared of red. I do love the bag, though, so now I have to work it into my wardrobe.

LOVE this... Are you feeling brave enough to fill it up and take it out?

Yay! The "month sisters" are experimenting with color! (I'm wearing the Tulle turquoise dress today. Watch out world!)

I have to admit that I was a little unsure when I saw the first picture, however when I clicked on the second link and saw the scale of the bag against your body I had to reconsider and now think it is great.

Your coat is beautiful and would look fabulous with the bag.

You and your sister certainly have been busy little bees in the past week.

Lovely bag and I agree with RandJ that the scale of it on your body is divine! Also the color is so beautiful.

And here is my take on the red bag with the soft grey coat. I feel that I will enjoy this color combo alot when the weather cools.

San - your coat and bag look wonderful together! (Did you post that with your earlier pictures? That's probably why I thought to put the red bag with the gray coat!)

I'm so glad you all approve of this bag. I do love it - I seem to have a crush on patent items lately. As I said to Mae yesterday, I have a large, emerald-green patent tote that I often bring on my frequent Amtrak sojourns, and I will have to plan carefully so I never carry these two items together. I don't want to be known as Patent, the Christmas Elf... :)
