This bag, or that one?

April

The evil enablers at Talbots are taking an additional 25% off all sale merchandise, leading to the crucial question: this bag (in "Rosette") or this one (in "Azurine")?

Love both. Tell me something about one or the other that I haven't thought of...

Definitely the turquoise suede. Practicality wise, it's better as it has a wider opening and is shallow so you don't have dig for things that fall to the bottom of the bag.

Aida - how funny. Oooh, soothing azurine blue was what I was saying as I started to post. Ha! #2 from here also.

I suppose that's just the sound that bag elicits

I vote Azurine because I think it's prettier.

For sure the turquoise, although I love both colors.

I prefer the dark red one because of its closure (with a zipper). The blue one looks to me like one of those bags that has that flap that goes across the top opening, which I can't stand.

The croc! The croc!! (Says the woman with THREE croc bags in different colors, not (yet) including red...)

Plus I'd worry about the lightish blue suede getting dirty.

OOooooh, definitely #2 in azurine. The color is lovely and different, I like the shape and I like the mix of textures.

Ok both are fab. #1 looks deeper, and a less contrasting color against outfits. Especially dark colors which I know I wear more of as we move into colder weather so it is a safe bet you do too. #2 is wider and not as deep, for me that is a plus because I hate to hunt around in bags that eat up my stuff. Also #2 is a higher contrast color and would look especially fab against a black dress from Esprit you posted and a purple blouse from Club Monaco. The question becomes, are you in the mood for a pop of color?

I like the croc one - a lot. Suede can be hard to keep clean as mentioned. But it really depends on what else you have - doesn't it? Hmmm, not sure. Which one do you love?

Hmmm . . . I love the color of the Azurine - but I'm not crazy about it being made out of suede! For some reason, that cheapens the look of it (to me!) I'd go with the Croc - beautiful, rich, plush - and keep looking for that perfect turquoise bag!

I can really see both bags working for your style, April. The one is bordering retro while the other is a little more modern. Do you want another bright coloured bag?

Angie, I'm enjoying bags in color these days -- though I must admit I haven't entirely embraced my yellow one. Yet.

I had a hunch that might be the case, April

I vote go with the Rosette and wait till Spring to spend money on a turquoise bag. For the meantime - you have YLF homework: Embrace your yellow bag for Autumn and Winter!
