I would love to have that! But if you tend not to switch bags I think I would go for an ivory bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1643911 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 03:41:09 +0000 catgirl 1643911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so terrible at this, so I will just say have fun choosing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1643811 Tue, 12 Apr 2016 22:46:46 +0000 bridgetteNYC 1643811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a big of Michael Kors bags. I would pick the Small Riley Satchel for the following reasons: <ul> <li>Based on mix of summer clothing you have, I think a satchel would be a good carry</li> <li>This MK satchel is a good size with a decent amount of space inside</li> <li>I think you can style this both as a cross-body as well as use the handles, which means you can carry it during day or night or even based on events/occasions</li> <li>I have the tendency to use cross-bodies a lot during summer, simply because it is one less thing to come in contact with your body. I like this option more because it blends well for both options</li> <li>I like the color and longevity of MK bags</li> </ul> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1643149 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 16:35:46 +0000 Anonymous 1643149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AviaMariah -- I really like Fossil bags. &nbsp;I own several. &nbsp;They are good quality for a very reasonable price. &nbsp;I own the same Fossil bag you do, only in fuchsia. &nbsp;I absolutely love it. &nbsp;Unfortunately, I tend to use totes and briefcases more during the week so I don't get to use the Fossil bag as much as I would like. &nbsp;I think I have been the blue you own. &nbsp;It is a lovely color as well. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1643145 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 16:31:55 +0000 jill58 1643145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love your Fossil satchel--pretty color even if, as you say, it's bluer than the photo. I also love that RM satchel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1643119 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 15:45:13 +0000 texstyle 1643119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blue but would strongly recommend adding a white or off white if budget allows - I love my off white bag from last year and also have a sort of bright indigo bag I'm using for spring/summer. I'll switch them out on occasion just to keep things interesting.</p> <p>I can't find the off white Vince Camuto I have but it's similar to this one (mines a bit more casual, less structured with textured leather). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1643084 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 14:44:20 +0000 AviaMariah 1643084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny so many of you prefer the Fossil which is the one I already have. &nbsp;I switched to it today and maybe I'll just stick with it for this summer (It's a brighter blue than what is shown in my finds). &nbsp;Although I have found a few more that I'm liking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1643072 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 14:20:50 +0000 Anonymous 1643072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could dress up a white bag with a floral scarf to get a similar effect as the floral bag if you are afraid to commit.</p> <p>I can't speak to how durable a white bag would be. It would seem that some leathers, like the safiano leather, would be far less scratch/dirt prone than other, softer leathers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1643004 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 11:15:59 +0000 April 1643004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a devotee of the satchel bag. &nbsp;When a bag is "deeper" (or "taller") than the satchel silhouette, such as the MK bag and the "Sunny" hobo above, you must dig for every item in what is essentially a black hole. &nbsp;</p> <p>If your bag generally has only three or four items in it, it would probably work. &nbsp;If you regularly carry 12 - 15 necessary items, depth is not your friend.</p> <p>That said, I have ruined more than one satchel bag with the heavy sunscreen I wear on my arms in summer, so for summer this year I'm switching to a cross-body style. &nbsp;Again, one with not too much depth, for the reason listed above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1642976 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 09:42:16 +0000 Anonymous 1642976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get so excited at the prospect of buying a new bag that I just can't think. &nbsp;My favorites for you are the fossil bag and the lighter colored, structured bags. &nbsp;There is something about having a light colored (white, dove grey) bag in the summer months that is so elegant. &nbsp;</p> <p>Me? &nbsp;I want that floral. &nbsp;Sadly, I don't think it is big enough. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1642908 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 01:23:49 +0000 AviaMariah 1642908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first choice was the KP floral because I think it would stand out and be fun. My only worry is that i might tire of it. I also love the white but I am not that careful with my bags which makes me hesitant. Ummlilla, I Iike those striped ones too and will have to look at them some more. Suz, I'd probably go for lower price too but I have quite a bit of Nordstrom's notes which will make something I buy there lower price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1641859 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 01:24:13 +0000 Anonymous 1641859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the pink floral would work with everything and would be kind of awesome. It would stand out though.<br /> I also really like the two tone hobo in blue and white.<br /> Third choice would be the white bags.<br /> I don't like the grey as much because it seems like it is a bit muted and would not stand out,...but maybe you want your bag to blend in, in which case the grey would be good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1641836 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 00:34:49 +0000 Suz 1641836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all!! (I'm useless here.) But. I also collected a bunch at Zara and Massimo Dutti that might be fun as well. I am considering going for a few lower price options to try out this spring since I am not bag-aware. I'll try them and compare and then spring for what I seem to reach for most later on at a higher price point.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1641819 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 23:45:00 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1641819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the white ones and the flowered, but what about a bag that's striped? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1641766 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 22:24:04 +0000 jill58 1641766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Fossil Sydney bag. I was actually considering one in another color for myself this summer. Love the color you have. If you're thinking metallic and like MK, here's a silver crossbody at a good price. The silver satchel is on sale too. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1641763 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 22:17:13 +0000 Debora 1641763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all your choices too! I've been using a slouchy blue tote for the past year and having been looking for a more structured bag. The satchels you linked to are all great if you're concerned about shoulder pain. I would go with any of them in a heartbeat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1641749 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 22:05:30 +0000 AviaMariah 1641749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just added another that I saw on forum member Deborah's thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1641741 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 21:58:48 +0000 AviaMariah 1641741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAleen and BC - I actually have the Fossil but it's more of a robin's egg blue. &nbsp;I used it last summer and have thought about just using it again this summer. &nbsp;To answer your question JAleen, I take the long straps off and carry by the handles. &nbsp;I get shoulder paid if I carry a purse on my shoulder too long. Which probably rules out the Sunny Hobo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1641740 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 21:55:27 +0000 Anonymous 1641740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My eyes went straight to the gray Fossil Sydney satchel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1641737 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 21:52:14 +0000 AviaMariah 1641737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hadn't really thought of metallic. &nbsp;I'll have to give that a look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1641736 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 21:51:49 +0000 JAileen 1641736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you going to use the bag's strap, or the handles? If you plan to use the strap, would handles that don't fold down bother you? That would be a consideration for me. Otherwise, I like the Fossil. I have a Fossil bag and I love its configuration of pockets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1641735 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 21:50:31 +0000 Tanya 1641735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great summer wardrobe!&nbsp;&nbsp; My favorite options are the Lodis hobo, VC crossbody and RM white satchel.&nbsp; You could also go for silver - my warm weather wardrobe colors are similar to yours and I have worn my silver satchel to death in the past couple of seasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-my-pick-a-bag#post-1641730 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 21:44:06 +0000 AviaMariah 1641730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I'd too get help on picking out a new bag. &nbsp;I am not a bag lady but am trying to more intentional and buy better quality. &nbsp;I use one bag every season. &nbsp;Fall/Winter I used this MK bag which I loved. &nbsp;It's really the perfect size for me and I just love the way it looks. &nbsp;Last spring/summer I used the Fossil Sydney in a brighter blue than what is in my finds. I have thought about just switching back to the Fossil but that's no fun. &nbsp;Most of my spring/summer wear is neutrals - black, white, all shades of blue, turquoise and bright pink with a lot of stripes thrown in. I've included a few finds to represent my wardrobe. &nbsp;I've also included in finds the bags I've been eyeing. &nbsp;What do you think? &nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
