That's the one I would pick. But being able to carry a bag cross body helps a lot when you bicycle as much as I do. But I also prefer the shape of that one. It has a more modern feel to me, with the straight edges.</p> <p>Also, want to offer my "why aren't there more bags with silver hardware" sympathy. I've passed by a lot of great bags lately because they lacked silver hardware. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435447 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 09:00:11 +0000 Deborah 1435447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard call as they are both really gorgeous. &nbsp;I think either work with your style but #2 has a slightly more lady like look to it. I think it will come down to which one is the most comfortable and most functional for you. &nbsp;Either way I don't think you can loose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435412 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 04:47:28 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1435412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the style of the second bag, because it's what I like to carry. As to looks, I like the first one, because of that cute buckled pocket. If they were different sizes, I would be tempted to get both if I were you, since it's such a great color for you. I have two bags in taupe--one large for everyday, and one small cross-body, for travel, sightseeing, going out in the evening, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435301 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 22:59:05 +0000 Dee 1435301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love these! I have a slight preference for the second one, but they are both lovely. I miss Danier so much since moving out of Canada! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435286 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 22:40:16 +0000 Angie 1435286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun bags, and welcome to the Team. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435284 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 22:32:06 +0000 jackiec 1435284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great bags! Totally depends on how they look and feel ON you. Oh boy. I passed a Danier yesterday running a quick errand in a mall that I don't go to very often. I made myself walk right past. I was in one of those emotional buy-anything moods and it would have been dangerous since do really don't need anything....or do I? Nice buy, Elizabeth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435283 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 22:30:00 +0000 Marilyn 1435283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're both nice.&nbsp; If push came to shove I'd probably pick #2.<br />Great colour and price.&nbsp; Nice find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435282 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 22:29:02 +0000 deb 1435282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the second one, but that is just my style.

I pretty much only use it in summer, but it is a workhorse then.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435207 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 19:21:02 +0000 Elizabeth P 1435207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear, sporty and practical vs ladylike... now that's a tough call! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435206 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 19:19:36 +0000 Elizabeth P 1435206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes the first is a cross body.&nbsp; And no, that doesn't matter to me.&nbsp; I generally wear bags under my arm, over a shoulder, like you'd carry the second one.&nbsp; Which you can do with the first, by shortening the strap.&nbsp; The crossbody function is a nice option, but not something I expect to use much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435205 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 19:18:03 +0000 Tanya 1435205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a pretty color, very fresh.&nbsp; I am with Lyn, first one is more sporty/practical, the second one more ladylike; so it depends on what look you are going for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435203 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 19:15:49 +0000 lyn67 1435203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the first one is a cross body, so it depends how would you like to use it. I like the style of nr 2 better for a more ladylike vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435200 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 19:09:27 +0000 MTBGirl 1435200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're both very nice! Is the first one just a cross body and if so does that matter to you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435199 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 19:00:22 +0000 Elizabeth P 1435199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, I'm leaning towards picking up the second one this afternoon and test driving them both.&nbsp; I think I prefer the shape of the second as well, and the opening on the first really is a bit small... not too small, but I'm wondering if it'll be a pita to find things in when full.&nbsp; But the first has three extra pockets, the second onlly two, which appeals to me.&nbsp; </p> <p>Such first world problems!</p> <p>Kelly, the drop is totally fine to wear on the shoulder, with a puffer.&nbsp; Critical! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435195 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:52:58 +0000 kellygirl 1435195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've aways leaned toward the first style (because of functionality)&nbsp;but since coming to YLF&nbsp;I think I've developed a preference for the second style. I like the handle drop on the second--looks long enough to wear over the shoulder.<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435191 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:42:30 +0000 SW Ann 1435191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color and prefer #2.&nbsp; I have a couple of different bags in this shape and LOVE them.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-turning-into-a-bag-lady#post-1435189 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:40:31 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1435189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely color.

They are about the same size, first one has more pockets, second one has wider opening.&nbsp; Which one do you think looks more modern, or is it a toss up?</p>
