NAS purchases--help me decide!

I procrastinated too long and wasn't able to get in for an appointment with my favorite SA when I visited Nordstrom this afternoon, but I was able to get into the curtained off areas with the help of several wonderfully accommodating SAs.

I bought this bag in black. Now I'm wondering if I should have bought it in grey (second picture). It was out in my store, so I didn't see it until I was looking online. Looking for opinions--should I keep the black? Or order the grey?

Also, tried on and really loved this jacket. It would be a complete splurge for me, but within the money that I set aside to shop the NAS. It is beautiful leather. The fit is gorgeous. I'm worried that the color would be hard for me to wear. I'm a blue eyed blond, with warm skin tone. Caramels and camels can be hard for me. I love the look though. What do you think?

UPDATED: Good point from Mochi. I don't have any pictures of what I look like here, but here's a link back to an outfit that I wore recently. http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ie-formula

Oh man, you need that jacket. Well, not literally, but it is stunning. Buy it and do not look back. I would think that if you wear a more warm tone for layering underneath, you could pull off the camel color. I think it could absolutely work. The model is blonde-ish and it looks fine on her.

I really like the black bag. The other one is great too...it looks a little brownish in the pic. Without knowing the general state of your wardrobe, and how you'd be pairing it, it's hard to say which bag would work better for you.

That jacket is GORGEOUS!!! I don't think you can go wrong with either handbag - choose the colour that works best with your wardrobe and enjoy!

Would love to help, but i think you are the best judge! I have similar coloring to yours, and while i find that caramels and camels can be hard for us, if we find the right tone, they can actually be stunning on blondes. Would love to see you in a picture of the jacket (which is fab btw!). The question is: how do you feel in the jacket? Do you believe it is a good fit for your tone? it is definitely a versatile color! Were you in the market for a leather jacket, and if so, what color did you have in mind? How would you style this? As for the bag, i agree with mochi; which color is best suited for your wardrobe? The grey is a nice neutral!

That jacket would be incredible. Wow, that cut! I'm partial to the grey back, but I definitely think that the black could work. Think of how cute the black would look with the Fluevogs in the post you linked to!

This jacket is stunning but camel can be a tricky color for any complexion actually. Let's hope it is the right shade for you!
Both bags are great so it depends on which color you need more in your collection.

I think you have to try the jacket on to be sure but the style is gorgeous. If you have a warm skin tone I think camel should work. Is your hair warm blond or ash blond? I would be very tempted to buy it and play up my warm skin tone with blush/bronzer. Did I mention it was gorgeous? I much prefer the black bag and think it will be more versatile, but if you have black bag(s) already go for the grey.

Thanks, ladies. I tried on the jacket, but didn't think to take a picture. The fit is very nice. It makes me look curvy, which is hard to do with my apple shape. The color looked good to my eye, but beige, so hard. After I left, I kept thinking, "I really should have brought that home and seen it in the natural light and with some color underneath."

On the bags, I think I just need to commit to the black. I was thinking that maybe the grey one would work as a summer and winter snakeskin, and that's what made me reconsider. Now, I'm feeling more like what I really need to do is just buy one for summer and one for winter. Or is that craziness? That's what NAS does to you. Craziness!

That jacket is amazing! I love the slight peplum-y shape at the bottom. I think the color is warm enough that it should be OK, particularly if you pair it with some color.

I like the black bag because of the gold hardware. It amps it up more.

That jacket is FAB! If it's within your budget and there is nothing else tickling your NAS fancy, then BBQ and see how well it plays with your other wardrobe items.
