The subdued floral looks rich and versatile to me. It would blend with my winter outfits, too. You should get it if you haven't already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1879424 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 16:50:45 +0000 unfrumped 1879424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lisa. These bags and other PN do have less luxurious construction including straps, topstitching ( often in white, as here). So I would have to make peace with it as a “ fun “ bag rather than for impeccable construction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1879177 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 00:31:33 +0000 Anonymous 1879177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm paying attention, and read your post, but reserve comment except for (lol) ....The one thing that is bugging me is the way the straps are joined to the bag itself. I'm not fond of those burnished buttons . That kind of finishing is often seen on lesser-quality bags. But what do I know? I'm not familiar with this brand . &nbsp; I like the pattern itself, but..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1879176 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 00:28:29 +0000 unfrumped 1879176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m hoping the tan colors in it will skew into some of my blush items and then to summer tans&amp; khakis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1878858 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 01:55:40 +0000 unfrumped 1878858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back at top AGAIN added a couple of outfit photos with bag.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1878661 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 14:55:25 +0000 Janet 1878661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely see the appeal of PN bags — I’ve eyed a couple myself, and I see them at TJMaxx or Marshall’s every so often. The colors in this one are really nice! I don’t think it looks cheap at all. I’ll be curious to see what you think after you try it with some outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1878657 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 14:44:20 +0000 krissy751 1878657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see anything wrong with it. The important thing is if you still like it.</p> <p>It could maybe give a pop to an all black outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1878656 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 14:43:10 +0000 Vanessa 1878656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This handbag looks fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1878632 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 13:15:04 +0000 unfrumped 1878632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Mainelady, I got my first one at TJMaxx and then a small zip case that matched. They get in various ones that I always check on, but so far have not had the colors or style I wanted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1878602 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 10:04:46 +0000 Mainelady 1878602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the bag. I am PN fan. I have a dark floral tote and a smaller cross body bag with a map of Italy (my heritage) on it. PN bags are well made and to my eye do not look cheap. Her florals are attention getters. I found both of my PN bags at TJ Maxx for much less than the prices at Macy’s or online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1878582 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 07:29:14 +0000 Aurore 1878582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you finally managed to get it! I love pastel floral bags, but I don't find this non-pastel one looking too loud or cheap. Looking forward to seeing it with your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1878576 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 04:43:22 +0000 unfrumped 1878576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update at bottom of original post.

I don’t know if it’s still on sale or back to full price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1873776 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 23:16:07 +0000 unfrumped 1873776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel very naive with the salesperson advising me,” you know these will be marked down 50% of the sale price tomorrow “ when she must have known the massiveness of this sales event ( which I’ve never attended before) and how unlikely I would be able to get it. It’s kind of weird since I was about to buy it.<br /> I’ve read that people often grab up multiple designer bags at the sale to resell on Ebay. </p> <p>But I only really have myself to bash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1873699 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 18:48:23 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1873699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always admire PN bags, but I haven't yet found the one that's the perfect combination of amazing wowness! that is also big enough to hold the stuff I like to carry around, in a shape that I like.&nbsp; &nbsp;I really love her map bags, though.</p> <p>I think this bag is beautiful.&nbsp; &nbsp;Flashy yes, but not cheap.&nbsp; &nbsp;I wouldn't carry this to an interview though, because this bag is going to pull focus, and I feel like you want all eyes on you at the interview, not on your bag.</p> <p>Keep watching for it online, my guess is that people are going to be making Christmas returns or impulse New Years shopping returns and that bag will pop back up in store inventories.&nbsp; &lt;3&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1873695 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 18:28:14 +0000 JAileen 1873695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought several things from Macy's recently, all online. Macy's has a sale every week. You might find it online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1873691 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 18:12:33 +0000 unfrumped 1873691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There was one smaller style that would work for some occasions and still hold big wallet and such, but the handles tended to slide off my shoulder; but the tote/ shopper will be more versatile, and I’d be more likely to take it on car trips. It is “ medium “ sized; my frame could use smaller but I get away with it due to long torso. </p> <p>ETA it sold before I got there! That’s what I get for trying to save another $80, as was everyone else today. Virtually every PN sale bag was gone and shelves decimated through the handbag section. </p> <p>I’m not a good “ door buster “ shopper and was not there waiting for the doors to open, as I should have been! I knew it would be more trouble to wait and go today— not sure which is the lesson—buy the bird in hand, or commit to being a more aggressive door buster!<br /> Perhaps Macy’s will put it on sale, or this dept store will do an online sale price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1873665 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 17:04:42 +0000 karen13 1873665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would go so well with jeans. Is it a size that is practical for you? I’m a short person, so bags like this often overwhelm me. I like the external zip pocket and the ability to wear on shoulder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1873663 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 17:01:53 +0000 Anonymous 1873663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it’s a great bag, and would add interest to a solid top/pant combo. It looks like it would match a lot of different coloured outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1873650 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 16:18:10 +0000 Mel 1873650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a fantastic print and would look great styled with neutrals, stripes, denim.&nbsp;<br />I see what you mean by the possibility of it looking cheap (floral bags have a way of doing that...at least to me), but it looks like great quality and if artfully styled it looks will look very classy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1873648 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 16:17:02 +0000 tanstaafl 1873648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! I also like my bags to have color and pattern. I think this would go well with a lot of different colors. Is the size what you like? And are there enough interior pockets for how you like to organize your stuff? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-handbag#post-1873640 Mon, 01 Jan 2018 15:34:38 +0000 unfrumped 1873640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy New Year to all fabbers!</p> <p>I do have some style and wardrobe goals percolating for a post. </p> <p>BUT I’m thinking of buying a handbag today ( of all days) because I’ve eyed it before and it’s to go on deeper sale today.<br /> Before any salivating over some luscious bag, see Find as this is a Patricia Nash painted floral bag that is more casual.<br /> I have had another PN bag for about 5 years now that I use every summer. I cannot explain why I like patterned bags, but I do.<br /> IRL to my eye the blues are softer though still deep and the greens are more teal. I’m not really a “ Blue person” but have noted how blues, Blue- gray, sea foam, teal “ “ pop” against my burgundies, blacks and grays compared to wearing my solid burgundy bag. The print has a touch of bugundy- reds in it that I think, according to Angie- theory, can mix with a variety of shades of burgundy, cherry, cranberry that I might wear and could pattern- mix with subtle stripes and plaids. . I had assumed that even if I got another PN floral, I’d be looking for one with a lot more “ reds” in it, so I was surprised to find myself attracted to this one.</p> <p>Anyhow, fire away with pros and cons if you have them. </p> <p>I am not a super- handbag person and have not been able to pick out bags I perhaps “ ought” to have, such as brand or fab quality . Instead I from time to time just am drawn to one. </p> <p>I wish I could say also that I’m totally immune to “ what others think” but I’m not. Does this bag seem too ....? Flashy, odd? Cheap?<br /> I realize it’s not to be my “ interview bag” and it’s intentional that it would go with jeans and casual wear as well as coordinating with the colors of my work wardrobe. </p> <p>Anyhoo, fire away with pros and cons if you have them. I if course would give it the “ home mirror “ test to see if I just had store- fever or I still love it with my own outfits.</p> <p>ETA, see update post- I didn’t get there in time!</p> <p>Second ETA: bought one online after waiting a bit to see if that would go on sale. When it arrived the price had already gone down- so I hurried to get price adjustment in time. </p> <p><b>ETA III</b>: Made a quick errand dash in kind of what I was wearing already--fleece leggings (a new thing for me) and burgundy cowl tunic, but managed to pry myself out of slippers and  into  sneaks (even though it's boot weather),  Yoana Baraschi topper</p> <p>and the PN tote. Though this is a casual outfit, the colors are  winter workwear colors for a tryout, and in particular was seeing if I like it with burgundy (I do!) even though the "reds" in the bag are redder; there's also some plum so together the colors are kind of my type of "chameleon colors" which can skew different ways. And of course the bag stands out more against less somber colors--this outfit is pretty dark. #1 is against the gray topper and #2 is against the burgundy top. </p>
