I have ordered it! Hopefully it looks/feels as good in person. DH had a coupon for $10 more off and free shipping so if it requires a return all I have to pay is one direction and that is not soo bad....</p> <p>@ Beth Ann, I have been trying to find my 5 style descriptors for quite a few months now and "really swanky gear" is probably one of the best summaries I can think of... pretty much describes me to a T most summer days! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-yellow-handbag#post-585375 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 08:20:44 +0000 brown 585375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome!!! The orange bag looks fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-yellow-handbag#post-585305 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 03:26:21 +0000 ManidipaM 585305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a nifty-looking little bag! I wonder if you could change the strap later if so minded. Or use a tie or belt off an old dress or coat, maybe... I do know what you mean about missing an yellow strap --- I'd have waited to see if I could find one like that myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-yellow-handbag#post-585299 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 03:01:56 +0000 Deborah 585299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is gorgeous! Quite unusual but very stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-yellow-handbag#post-585261 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 01:58:00 +0000 Transcona Shannon 585261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the colour and the "texture" of the bag - makes it quite unique. It is casual so would be great with jeans etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-yellow-handbag#post-585234 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 01:20:55 +0000 Beth Ann 585234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this, Sarah, and it seems like your summer is a lot like mine -- hot and pretty casual (actually, this is tough for me since I like dressing up at least some of the time). This is really swanky gear, if it's gear at all! I say yay, and from now on I'm calling my cheapo bags "vegan bags" instead of plastic or vinyl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-yellow-handbag#post-585189 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 00:43:06 +0000 Anonymous 585189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a lovely yellow and the brown strap is probably more practical than a matching yellow strap would be, so you get both beauty and practicality in this bag. yay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-yellow-handbag#post-585186 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 00:37:55 +0000 Sarah A 585186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

I think one thing i really like in a crossbody bag is when it is taller than it is wide dimensionally if that makes sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-yellow-handbag#post-585161 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 00:07:15 +0000 Sarah A 585161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Fruitful... this is a good point, but it certainly isnt a mint either to try out...</p> <p>@ Suz, interesting i actually prefer a bucket because i usually carry just a phone, wallet and keys and thus other compartments rarely are used and just make the main compartment smaller/whole bag heavier.... i do like an key strap though like in a timbuk 2 messenger bag but i have rarely found this on a real purse...</p> <p>ETA: Also forgot to say thanks Suz for letting me know how much fun you have had! I love your outfits that incorporate your yellow bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-yellow-handbag#post-585159 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 00:05:05 +0000 annagybe 585159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking for vegan crossbody bags I found this, but it's more gold</p> <p><a href="http://www.endless.com/dp/B00472NLGW/ref=asc_df_B00472NLGW1960576?tag=googlecom09c9_endless-20&#038;creative=395033&#038;linkCode=asn&#038;creativeASIN=B00472NLGW" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/dp/B004.....B00472NLGW</a></p> <p>and this</p> <p><a href="http://www.endless.com/dp/B00472NLBW/ref=asc_df_B00472NLBW1960576?tag=googlecom09c9_endless-20&#038;creative=395033&#038;linkCode=asn&#038;creativeASIN=B00472NLBW" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/dp/B004.....B00472NLBW</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-yellow-handbag#post-585154 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 23:58:35 +0000 Suz 585154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a very unusual bag! I quite like it, although I do agree it's a bit "gear" like and the strap is potentially a problem. Also, what is it like inside? Are there any compartments? If it is just a bucket, it might not be all that practical. Unless you have one of those inner organizers that Mary K and Rae (I think) once linked us to. </p> <p>I will say that I absolutely LOVE carrying a yellow bag. I never thought I would say that! But it is so much fun to add that pop of colour and since I'm unable to wear yellow otherwise, it's a fun hit for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-yellow-handbag#post-585151 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 23:55:59 +0000 Fruitful 585151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bag looks cool, but I know what you mean about the missing pop of colour near your face with the strap.</p> <p>I'm a firm believer that bags need to be tried on first; they can be verrry different in person. Or maybe $55 is small enough for you to take a gamble on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-this-yellow-handbag#post-585147 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 23:52:32 +0000 Sarah A 585147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been using my "plain jane" tan crossbody handbag quite a bit lately. (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-handbag-too-matchy-matchy" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....chy-matchy</a>) Anyway, as I review the outfits that I wear it with each and every one is okay with the tan but would work as well or better with yellow! Also, I think am (sadly?) not a "vegan friendly" bag type of gal and the tan is a faux leather fabrication. I like this one below, okay love the detailing of the actual bag part, but I am not positive about the brown fabric strap. One the plus side, I wear gearish brands (patagonia, outdoor research, ex officio) a lot and the fabric kind of might be a bridge. On the other hand visually you lose the some of look of the yellow accent provided by the strap because of this design. I think i would consider removing the suitcase looking leather shoulder pad unless you all say that is a major no-no.</p> <p>Ellington Hannah Crossbody Purse in Yellow.
