rachylou - I could see a white bag working great for you!
Aliceinwonderland - thank you!
JAileen - ooops... I didn't even look at strap length, so thank you for bringing it up... that could be problematic. I definitely need a crossbody/handsfree/no-slip option.Wearing it in my armpit won't cut it, I'm afraid...
carter - good point about the light bag v. dark denim... I didn't think about that either...
FashIntern - YES to the mustard!
taylor - navy is a good option, too! Thank you! I never think of navy being a bag option. Good call.
Janet - a metallic bag is intriguing... maybe a matte gold that could also work in the fall with my earthtones...? I will add it to the list, thank you!
Christina - yes, I certainly don't want my bag to have a baby blue side! Thank you for seconding metallics.
Angie - I thought you might be a vote for white
LaPed - EXACTLY! Lately, I've been seeing bags with a guitar strap-type look (like the green/yellow, or even the Furla one below) and I kinda dig them. The camera case-type bags (green below) are kind of fun too.
I had your recent post about complements in the back of my mind when I started poking around for potential colors, and I keep coming back to the green/yellow straps...
