WIW and more K/T animal bag photos in daylight

It's not raining or snowing and I decided it was time to pull out the Matisse animal booties. I am not wearing the handbag in question with this ensemble today. Suggestions for tweaking today WIW are welcome but I'm really curious what you think about the bag. Can I wear it to work tomorrow or is it time to say goodbye?

It seems like a good size to carry stuff around although I like a slightly smaller bag.

Wow, that's a roomy bag! I like it's shiny, gold, snakeskin print.

I love this outfit Rita - the white blouse is beautiful (may I ask what make it is?) and you are rocking those booties! Love! I think the bag works quite well - it's versatil, it's a nice size and still looks in style. I say "yay".

Too big for a 5' tall person?

I don't think the bag is too big (for you, or generally) - I like it a lot, a good size to fit everything in without over-stuffing it, and cool colour/fabrication.

Lovely outfit - I have serious animal bootie envy.

Yeah, Rita. Now that I see it on you, scaled correctly...you are small (and unlike me, slim), so I think you may want to downsize. I mean, I'm borderline about it. It doesn't make you look cartoonish, if that's what you're worried about.

For work, to tote all your stuff, no. If it's to be used like a purse, then yeah it looks a tad big. I'm biased though because I prefer medium to small bags.

As a tote, I think it's the perfect size Rita.

Keep the tote! Very cool with those booties - bookending and mixing prints. I didn't see the heart before, though, and agree with the idea in the other thread to remove that part.

Perfect leather tote for now, Rita! I still vote KEEP.

Love your outfit! I like the bag; it does seem a tiny bit big but that's more the style now isn't it? I agree with maybe removing the heart.

I like it, myself, but I am partial to gigantic bags. I like to be able to stuff everything including the kitchen sink into my purse, especially if I'm shopping or going to class.

I do think I'd take the little heart off, if it were me.

The consensus seems to be -

Work tote: OK
The "IT" bag: Not OK

Ladies, I believe we have a NYC YLF Meet up mission! Will you help me find a great new spring and summer bag?

Mochi

Veteran

I'll be there in the trenches fighting, er, shopping, alongside you!

YAY!! I am so excited to see my girls in NYC!! Now what color for spring?!?!?

I love your outfit! That PB blouse is gorgeous and simple and so chic with the blazer. I'm not sure about the bag. It looks like a tote bag--size wise (but I am still somewhat bag impaired.) Perhaps if I carry a bag that size it will make me look smaller : )

I love the outfit--the white blouse looks so crisp and elegant. I am on the fence about the bag. Do you love it? Is it useful? Sounds like you are going to keep it but be on the look-out for a replacement?

Karina

Your outfit looks great - love the bow blouse and the open, shorter jacket with it! Also .... I love the bag, complete with its patina.
Keep it, for sure, just maybe not for everyday, but as a tote!

KILLER outfit in my eyes, Rita.

Absolutely LOVE the outfit. You rock those booties. I gain such inspiration from you. Wish I could meet in NYC! Dang!

Ooh, bag shopping!

I could see an orange bag to colorblock with your fever pink skirt!

Beautiful outfit, Rita! I will be more than happy to accept the mission. See you next month!

Hey, I had bag success last time in NYC, so now it's your turn! (Although now I'm keeping an eye out for the perfect red bag -- I'm having trouble finding just the right balance of size and lightweight, and the perfect red, not too bright but a bit on the burgundy side...)

I like your bag here, but it is a bit on the large size. I'm seeing it as a tote.

Don't you love those booties? I'm so glad I got them too. You look terrific!

Lisa

Veteran

I'm with others, this is a great work tote. As a tote not too large for petite you, I vote keep. Nice colors too!

Love the outfit.

Bag looks fine to me! You just have to keep the rest of your outfit simple when you wear it, as it has many details to take in.

Nice!
