The hobo is packed up and ready to be sent back. And I've already worn the mesh sweater, though I didn't get a chance to post an outfit. </p> <p>Zap, I agree that hobo shapes are more modern and fun, but this one was just too big for me. I would have loved it had the straps and bag had been 2/3 as big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575737 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:10:31 +0000 morethanbeige 575737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I agree, the tote looks great. And I love the mesh sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575657 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 14:43:26 +0000 Meredith1953 575657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good choice! I love the tote...the finish and the style are beautiful. The hobo doesn't look as nice and does seem to be a bit big for your frame! You were wise to keep the tote! Cute sweater!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575631 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 14:08:13 +0000 Lisa 575631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with others on the bag assessment. The hobo is a bit short in the straps and a tad too long in the length. I'm not sure this slouchy style is great for this size of bag. The first bag is super, perfect length in the straps, length in the bag itself and I also really like the stiffer style on you. Nice find! The cropped sweater is a good find too, great to layer with skinnies and longer tops and also over a dress or with shorts. Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575600 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:32:46 +0000 Anonymous 575600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...And I love the mesh sweater. I bought something similar from Express a while ago, after I saw it on one of the SA's. She had a cami with a leopard print underneath and was wearing red skinnies and black flats. I thought it was brilliant to wear something with pattern underneath. She looked awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575595 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:28:33 +0000 Anonymous 575595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the hobo better than the tote. The reason being is that the hobo is more youthful and relaxed, but I know I'm the minority. The hobo would look great if you carry it by the handle, just like you would hold a briefcase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575565 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:45:43 +0000 Beth Ann 575565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good eye with the bags! I agree the second would should be returned - you can put that credit to good use and someone else can enjoy that bag! Love the sweater -- a fun trend for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575541 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 11:52:59 +0000 Jjsloane 575541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to agree the 2nd bag should go back. I find it very difficult to order bags online and usually just buy in person (or not at all). Cute sweater on you . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575520 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 10:14:49 +0000 sammie86 575520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should keep the bags. I know I would. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575504 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 09:40:01 +0000 Astrid 575504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with your assessment of the bags. The sweater is great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575492 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 08:22:25 +0000 harmonica 575492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you on the bags. The mesh sweater is GREAT!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575429 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 04:37:54 +0000 Freckles 575429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such fab finds on the first purse and the sweater. Such a shame about the hobo, hopefully the credit won't be too restricting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575399 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 03:45:45 +0000 ManidipaM 575399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your pendant! </p> <p>Hope you find a better bag --- I think hobos, due to their general puffiness, almost always look better with longer, thinner handles/straps for smaller frames like yours. How about hopping into a brick-and-mortar shop to just try out a few sizes and shapes (irrespective of actual colour or detail or style) before you choose your next one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575306 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 02:29:59 +0000 crazyone 575306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, the hobo IS bigger than the tote--they have approximately the same length but the hobo is wider. And like raclar pointed out, I think the biggest issue isn't necessarily the size of the bag, but that the handles are too big for me, from a visual point of view. </p> <p>BTW, you chose a great time to come down to the NYC area! The weather is fabulous.</p> <p>Raclar, I think I'm going to start simple--sleeveless top in either a dark or bright color, plus jeans, and sweater over it. Any other ideas would be welcome.</p> <p>ETA: Angie, I'm glad we agree! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575301 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 02:26:28 +0000 Angie 575301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with your bag assessment!</p> <p>LOVE the cropped sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575293 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 02:22:33 +0000 raclar 575293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think its the handle length of the hobo that bothers my eye on that. Cant wait to see how you style the sweater -i have a similar one and would love to see your ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575288 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 02:19:40 +0000 Suz 575288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I agree with you. It's funny how the tote and the hobo are really appoximately the same size, yet the hobo FEELS so much bigger and bulkier! I like the mesh sweater and think you might wear it a lot in the warmer weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-35#post-575224 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 01:22:06 +0000 crazyone 575224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two handbags that I got recently: the raspberry tote I posted about earlier, and a taupe hobo I got from myhabit. The tote I'm keeping, but the hobo I think is going back--it's just too big for my frame, unless the YLF ladies feel differently. I'm a little annoyed at myself for buying something that can only be returned for credit (since this was not a cheap handbag), but fortunately I see that the credit can be used on amazon and endless as well as myhabit, so I'll be able to spend that money on a variety of things. Also, a open mesh sweater I bought from Express--I really like the open mesh sweater look and am trying it out for cheap with this one. Obviously this isn't how I would style the sweater.</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
