I prefer the Coach bag, the shape is more modern and therefore more "you."

I have been really liking wearing a simple outfit with a statement bag, especially on days off. Gryffin, I had to exchange sizes on the citron jacket, so it's up in the air. It was just delivered to my PO Box today, but I've missed the cut-off to pick up. I did love it, though, and I am crossing my fingers that this one fits perfectly. Will post tomorrow! Catnip, both bags are a fine size, as long as they look good with my proportions. I carry shockingly little, actually, but I think a tiny bag makes me look like a hulk. ;) Neel, thank you! The jeans are by a Euro brand called <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yoox.com/us/42298884FX/item?dept=#sts=orders80&cod10=42298884FX&sizeId=">Cycle</a>. They sell them on Yoox. :) Anna, I think you are right. The structure also would be a nice counterpart to my draped items. I am thinking I like the rigidity and simplicity of the KS a little better, as well as the shorter handle. And MAN is it ever hard to find the right shade - not neon, not mustard, not lime. It's funny, but the main thing making me hesitate is that I just found that citron jacket... it makes me suspicious to find two higher-ticket citron items I love that close together, especially after a long search.  Neel on "Return of the Snake Satchel, and Fondling Kate Spade" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/return-of-the-snake-satchel-and-fondling-kate-spade#post-1147097 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 03:09:46 +0000 Neel 1147097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another Kate spade fan! And you look lovely in that classic color combo. I could rob those jeans off you! What brand are they?

I actually love the Coach, too, but something about the scale of that KS just looks  perfect in your hand there. It must have been tempting!  You look great, by the way.  Raisin on "Return of the Snake Satchel, and Fondling Kate Spade" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/return-of-the-snake-satchel-and-fondling-kate-spade#post-1147024 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 01:46:20 +0000 Raisin 1147024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If both were the same price, I like the Coach better, but I think the Kate Spade is wonderful too.  The color is great!   viva on "Return of the Snake Satchel, and Fondling Kate Spade" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/return-of-the-snake-satchel-and-fondling-kate-spade#post-1147016 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 01:32:37 +0000 viva 1147016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love both.

A friend has a covetously turquoise Marc Jacobs. Saturated hues are so lovely in bags.

Great outfit too, I will have to copy this in the summer. gryffin on "Return of the Snake Satchel, and Fondling Kate Spade" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/return-of-the-snake-satchel-and-fondling-kate-spade#post-1146946 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 23:16:24 +0000 gryffin 1146946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rae - it's hard to see how the bags compare size wise.  I think a citron bag would look wonderful in your arsenal.  Your brahmin is gorgeous but there is nothing wrong with swapping things up.  Just like your beautiful snake satchel which looks wonderful with your outfit today.  PS those jeans look totally awesome on you!!  I like both the KS and the coach but I can't see enough detail to really compare.  Anything making your heart truly flutter?  PS status report on that citron jacket?

It's more ladylike, and satchels pull at my heart strings. But either is fab. Can't go wrong.  Astrid on "Return of the Snake Satchel, and Fondling Kate Spade" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/return-of-the-snake-satchel-and-fondling-kate-spade#post-1146941 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 23:03:36 +0000 Astrid 1146941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's really interesting how a much a bag can change the vibe of an outfit! I think I prefer the Coach bag too. deb on "Return of the Snake Satchel, and Fondling Kate Spade" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/return-of-the-snake-satchel-and-fondling-kate-spade#post-1146932 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 22:50:15 +0000 deb 1146932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I prefer the Coach myself but I can see you with either. rae on "Return of the Snake Satchel, and Fondling Kate Spade" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/return-of-the-snake-satchel-and-fondling-kate-spade#post-1146929 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 22:45:57 +0000 rae 1146929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ No work today, so DH and I had lunch out and then took a stroll at the outlet mall looking to stock up on his favorite shoes.  I am still nowhere near tired of my Brahmin, but I have been itching to change things up, so I pulled out my recently neglected snake satchel for the day. Paired with my favorite jeans and a breezy sleeveless top. It is fun to look at the outfit photos and see a much softer overall effect without the bold stripes of my bag. I guess I am still a bag lady at heart and still believe it can change the entire vibe of the day! While DH was shoe hunting, I peeped into the Coach, Michael Kors, and Kate Spade factory stores. Nothing caught my eye at the two former, but this little citron Kate Spade lured me in enough to get me to note the details and take a photo. I didn't buy it since a citron bag has been a long term hunt for me, but what do you think? I also am curious about the Coach in #4, although that one is significantly more expensive.
