Which Boden bag for me?

I would like a new Boden oilcloth bag for summer, and I'm torn on the prints.

Which would you pick for me?

Here is a link to my Pinterest style board. I think it's pretty accurate in depicting colors and silhouettes I'm drawn to.

I don't see a link to your Pinterest board, but I love the black and white polka dot one with hot pink trim!

Hmmm, from what I've seen of your style and the colors you wear, I'd choose the Tumeric Doves for you. Cute bag by the way!

Thanks, GP - I added the Pinterest link. I think chaperoning a group of first graders at a natural history museum today fried my brain.

Love your pinterest board! I would go for the polka dot one, you even have a polka dot clutch in an outfit there as an inspiration! Plus thy are fun and might keep the first graders entertained

I'm with Claire - for you, I think the Tumeric Doves would be great!

Doves. Polka dot is cute too but STRONG.

Hard choice. Could you get Turmeric Doves & Polkadot? Seeing your pinterest makes me think you need both. If you are only to get one bag I would get something more neutral or neutral for your wardrobe.

I think based on your pinterest the turmeric doves. Muted colors and graphic (small) prints.

Haven't read other replies. Turmeric.

mtgirl - I did! Thank you so much for spotting that though!

gp - I think you like the polka dot for YOU! (It's very GP. It's navy, fyi)

ClearlyClaire, Suz, Jjsloane, Nicole D - The muted color, graphic doves are very my style. Doesn't the pattern almost read like...I don't know, a herringbone pattern perhaps from a distance? Love that.

Glory - haha, thank you - Pinterest is so addictive.

And it's Elle for the win! I ordered both! I really suspect that the navy dots will be too overwhelming for me, to AG's wise point (she advocates for the doves, as the polka dot pattern is quite strong). But to Tanya's point, I _do_ have a polka dot clutch on my Pinterest board, so I figured it was worth a shot. I suspect that I will do better with strong patterns on smaller items (belt, clutch), so this will be an interesting experiment.

I will try to post a K/R when they arrive.

I like the dots for a bold style statement but if you want a more neutral look, go with the yellow bag with the smaller print. And the floral bag is somewhere in between the two for impact.

PS I like your pin board, I'm following! I like all of your ensembles, are they polyvores?
