Good points. You're right, it appealed to me right away -- it was a quick decision and not a big risk. I took it off the rack and carried it around the store, filled it with my other purchases and checked out.&nbsp;Every summer we go to the Stratford Festival in Ontario for a week and I was thinking that a big carry-all would come in handy. Love the idea of your leopard print tote and always admire Natalie's colorful bags (so different from my collection of grey, black and brown). In any case this print is subtle enough that I think it'll work for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-find-2---tote-bag#post-1705806 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 23:34:19 +0000 Suz 1705806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a print bag, belt, or footwear can add enormous punch and fun to a wardrobe. I wear a lot of solids, too, so I really enjoy this kind of thing. And I find it works best if you buy it just as you did. Inexpensive, not really a risk, try it out -- soon enough you'll be using it all the time.&nbsp;</p> <p>At the moment I only own two printed bags -- one has leopard print and one is black and white spotted. I also have a colour block tote. They are some of my most beloved bags even if not always used.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-find-2---tote-bag#post-1705742 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 19:58:56 +0000 jill58 1705742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cerinda</b>, I think you're right.<br /><b>El Cee</b>, I agree--it really is more botanical than floral--and that works for me--also the option to reverse it to burgandy is a plus in my book too. Should work both ways with the colors I wear.<br /><b>chewyspaghetti</b> -- thanks for the vote of confidence!<br />On a final note, even my husband thinks it looks useful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-find-2---tote-bag#post-1705708 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 18:08:11 +0000 Cerinda 1705708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see a potential workhorse here. &nbsp;Hmmm.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-find-2---tote-bag#post-1705686 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 16:45:23 +0000 El Cee 1705686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the bag. The print, to my eye, it is not too loud or bold. And, yes, it has more of a botanical feel to it than a full-out floral. Like you, I tend to wear more solids than prints as far as my clothing is concerned -- so I do not mind if my bags or other accessories are in a statement print. The fact that this particular bag is reversible is a big plus in my book… go print side when you want more of a statement, and go solid burgundy when you want something more subtle.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-find-2---tote-bag#post-1705684 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 16:43:50 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1705684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just looking at this yesterday - it's gorgeous! I think it would work well for a mostly solid wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/target-find-2---tote-bag#post-1705674 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 16:15:23 +0000 jill58 1705674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure about this one--I'm not typically drawn to florals (although, given my last post, apparently I was during my last trip to Target). In any case I bought this tote bag (which is reversible to a solid burgundy color) because of the colors and it seemed like a practical vacation bag--waterproof--easily wiped down and huge. It comes with the cute little burgundy pouch, as shown. It's bigger than a typical shopper so I'm not sure how much use it would get other than on vacation--on the other hand it could be one of those items that &nbsp;make me wonder how I lived without it. Also, since I don't wear a lot of prints, I don't need to worry about competing patterns. The pattern is a mix--not totally floral (maybe botanical is a better descriptor) and does reverse to a sold color but I guess I'm on the fence about it since &nbsp;normally I would choose something more subdued. Thoughts on patterned tote bags? </p>
