So I guess I'm on the fence.</p> <p>I almost bought a bike jersey last week that was black with a huge pink skull on it. So not typical of me! But it was just a wee bit short, and I hate for my cycling jerseys to ride up. So obviously I'm not opposed to skulls as a theme. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marc-jacobs-toteyour-thoughts#post-1274493 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:41:38 +0000 Angie 1274493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tote - skulls and all. But if the handles are canvas - I would pass.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marc-jacobs-toteyour-thoughts#post-1274468 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:15:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1274468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't dislike the tote Deb but at the same time, I'm not loving it either. I have no issues with skulls in terms of age appropriateness and even think they can be "cool" on us "ladies of a certain age"! I'm just kind of "meh" on it, you know?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marc-jacobs-toteyour-thoughts#post-1274393 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 12:27:59 +0000 Ledonna N. 1274393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does it have a zip top?&nbsp; Please don't be mad but, I think it reads kind of young teen to me.&nbsp; I am a skull person boy that sounds bad&nbsp; but anyway,&nbsp; I like them and I tend to be very careful with the ones I choose to wear and buy.&nbsp; Sometimes they can look young or to bad a## I prefer to be somewhere in the middle.&nbsp; The bag to me does read fun and casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marc-jacobs-toteyour-thoughts#post-1274389 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 12:20:30 +0000 Deborah 1274389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claudia, thanks for your comment.&nbsp; I really appreciate it, as I hadn't viewed the graphic in the same way as you have.&nbsp; Generally I am attracted to skulls that are 'fun' as opposed to ugly, aggressive, depressive etc.&nbsp; The sugar skull for example is one I find appealing.&nbsp; </p> <p>Viva, Munch's Scream is a work that I am very drawn too... haven't really explored why and I did make the association with the bag.&nbsp; </p> <p>While I don't mind edge, I am not interested in being controversial, so I will definitely consider this further before giving my sister an answer.</p> <p>Really appreciate everyone's thoughtful considerations x</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marc-jacobs-toteyour-thoughts#post-1274374 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 11:58:02 +0000 viva 1274374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am conflicted about this bag - I keep coming back to post and then backing out. I didn't have the deeply negative associations Claudia did, but the bag did immediately make me think of Munch's Scream, a piece of art that I have conflicted emotions about as well.<br />Ultimately, I think it's interesting and edgy and has the potential to be somewhat controversial -- which could be a positive or a negative in and of itself. Fashion-wise, I think it would absolutely go with your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marc-jacobs-toteyour-thoughts#post-1274365 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 11:52:40 +0000 Mander 1274365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I didn't see it in the same way that Claudia did, but now that you've said that I can't un-see it!&nbsp; My first thought was that it seemed kind of humorous. I was thinking of a pile of sugar skulls, like you'd see at a Mexican day of the dead festival. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marc-jacobs-toteyour-thoughts#post-1274358 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 11:46:46 +0000 gryffin 1274358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah - one is NEVER to old to rock skulls!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marc-jacobs-toteyour-thoughts#post-1274328 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 11:14:01 +0000 Claudia 1274328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's my thoughts on this particular&nbsp;design. I want to preface by saying that&nbsp;I loved some of Alexander McQueen's skull scarves for their design and color, particularly those that were subtle and didn't hit you over the head as being&nbsp;in fact skulls until you really looked.&nbsp;</p> <p>This MJ&nbsp;bag's pattern design of the stacking of skulls&nbsp;reminds me of actual&nbsp;genocide photos I have seen, and the stacking of skulls in catacombs. The first is horrible and the latter just&nbsp;macabre. It makes me&nbsp;dislike this bag in a way I don't other skull themed fashion that I have seen. So I would pass on this tote.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marc-jacobs-toteyour-thoughts#post-1274315 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 10:41:46 +0000 Deborah 1274315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! </p> <p>Gryffin, I think the appeal here is that you do kind of have to look closely to see it is skulls. I have a "knock off" McQ skull scarf that I wear occasionally:). What comes to my mind is more "am I too old to rick skulls" lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marc-jacobs-toteyour-thoughts#post-1274311 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 10:28:59 +0000 gryffin 1274311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun, edgy and perfect for your style.&nbsp; How are you with that many skulls?&nbsp; I only ask, since I love the skull motif, but I have trouble incorporating it into my outfits.&nbsp; I start over thinking my audience.&nbsp; I bought a McQ scarf onsale and I love it but I don't wear it as much as I could.&nbsp; It that's not an issue for you, I think the tote is fab!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marc-jacobs-toteyour-thoughts#post-1274301 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 10:08:57 +0000 fuzzylogic 1274301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's an edgy little tote for sure! I agree that it's probably more suitable for non-work days and would work well with some of the casual outfit you have posted (black leggings under black skirt springs to mind!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marc-jacobs-toteyour-thoughts#post-1274270 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 08:57:54 +0000 Ashley22 1274270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bag is lovely. I think this is good for work days also.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/marc-jacobs-toteyour-thoughts#post-1274266 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 07:57:25 +0000 Deborah 1274266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Fabbers,</p> <p>My sister and I often consult one another before gift buying and she asked if I would like this Marc Jacobs Tote:)</p> <p>She has seen it in the flesh and thought it looked great. She is a bit of a bag officianado, so I do trust her judgement re quality etc.</p> <p>I like the tote and I have a soft spot for anything with skulls tho I do tend to be quite discerning about "skull" purchases. The trim looks white but is actually a grey.</p> <p>What do you think. Do you see this working for me? I see it working predominately for non work days (I only work three days)</p> <p>Thanks for taking a look:)</p> <p>xxxDeborah </p>
