I bought mine last year, after Angie gently (or was it firmly?) pushed me into it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-616095 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:10:33 +0000 christieanne 616095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am still trying to get over the part about this being your first bag. I am such a bag lady myself that it is interesting but I admire the carefree, action orientation you must feel in not carrying a bag!<br /> Seems like the bag fits the qualifications you set. I used a larger tote this weekend and it was handy to have a big bag for popping purchases and things in and avoiding plastic sacks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-616065 Wed, 09 May 2012 19:46:36 +0000 Anonymous 616065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this quite a lot, Jayne. The slouchiness of it with your structured, tailored clothing is uber cool. Rock on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-616042 Wed, 09 May 2012 19:06:33 +0000 jayne 616042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz&amp;Nicole, I used mostly pockets and a cell phone carry thing...I still could but I am trying&lt;p/&gt;Angie, yes the size is fine because it is light weight when having nothing but my normal stuff in it, that all fit in pockets before. I have been using it two Weeks now, bought before May syc </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-615984 Wed, 09 May 2012 16:48:16 +0000 nicoleb 615984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for a bag purchase! I'm with Suz; you had no bags before?! What did you use? </p> <p>I'm not much of a handbag person myself. It's a rare bag that makes me feel like I really want to spend money on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-615896 Wed, 09 May 2012 14:38:19 +0000 Angie 615896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice bag! </p> <p>It's VERY large. Is that okay for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-615830 Wed, 09 May 2012 12:33:33 +0000 Suz 615830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! Looks super versatile!</p> <p>But okay, I am really confused - you had NO bags? How did you carry your stuff? </p> <p>Said by one who was not a bag-lady before YLF but who did always own one bag. (In boring black). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-615791 Wed, 09 May 2012 11:24:08 +0000 jayne 615791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gee thanks everyone!</p> <p>KiwiChick, yes busy. I have a new dog and a new job so I have less time than usual. PLUS, I am reusing my outfits that I posted before so I don't bother to show them, ;)</p> <p>Lyn and Deborah, well, first bag (if bag means giant thing)...but I usually am very tomboyish and prefer things in a small phone carrier or pockets in winter. I learned to use a bag the past years when shopping clothes and small grocery amounts by using a beach bag I bought in Australia some years ago. So I finally saw the light and realized I could try a more fashionable version. It helps to have it as I my one environmental good habit is avoiding to buy/get new plastic bags at the stores. Now the shopper lets me always have an alternative with me. </p> <p>I am still getting used to finding things in it! I actually have been carrying makeup now, but have yet to use it in the course of a day. One step at a time, heh??</p> <p>Mandipa - yes, it is long enough for cross body, and it also has black handle straps, but I took them off as I always use it on my shoulder, slung casually, and oh so effortlessly back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-615788 Wed, 09 May 2012 11:04:24 +0000 lyn67 615788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great bag, love this neutral, goes with everything-all 4 seasons long-but I can't believe it's your first one??? :-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-615784 Wed, 09 May 2012 09:56:58 +0000 Deborah 615784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jayne this is a great bag. Love the color and the whole vibe. Very stylish and will go with most things. I have to ask, if this is your first bag, what have you been using in the past? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-615778 Wed, 09 May 2012 08:07:43 +0000 lyn* 615778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh; I love this bag - it looks quite roomy and slouchy Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-615768 Wed, 09 May 2012 07:43:00 +0000 ManidipaM 615768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice casual bag and very versatile colour. Is the strap long enough to go cross-body? I love the contrast of a tomboyish cross-body bag with the pearls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-615751 Wed, 09 May 2012 06:35:06 +0000 Fruitful 615751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! An effortlessly stylish look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-615750 Wed, 09 May 2012 06:34:39 +0000 Kiwichik 615750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very practical &amp; stylish. Have missed your posts have you been busy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-first-bag#post-615747 Wed, 09 May 2012 06:32:46 +0000 jayne 615747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie noted, quite rightly, that I didn't have any bags...so I finally made the jump with this conservative shopper. I wanted light weight, sand color and right long strap. I think I did ok. I choose this one because I liked the black details which let's me use it in fall also. </p> <p>I loved the ostrich Maryk bought....I may replace this one if I find that. </p>
