I'm not 5'5" so I'm probably no help with modelling pics... but before I got the work, i too was worried it might be too big... turned out to be completely the opposite! its not big at all... i love the style and like others say... once its broken in... its perfect! its actually not that much bigger than the PT... its just a bit taller...

I love everyone's photos! I love the work size...

Is it just me or does the work look bigger on some people than on others (whatever your size!), it's so weird. But you look gorgeous ladies!!!

glossie · Oct 11th, 2007, 08:27 AM

^ you're not alone - i thought so too! but they're all gorgeous nonetheless!

guccilove · Oct 11th, 2007, 09:16 AM

i still need to lose my post pregnancy weight so there will be no pictures of me until then

heehee....but as for the Work bag, i totally love it!!!! i'm 5'4 1/2" and i think it's the perfect size for me. even if i don't totally fill it up right now, it still looks great (i think), even with only a few stuff inside. plus, big bags are totally in right now i think! so yeah, go for the Work!!!

No pics to offer (and I'm on the tall side anyway) but just wanted to say that IMO the Work looks great on EVERYONE, no matter how big or small. It is the perfect size and I've never seen it swallow anyone (including an Olsen twin). The Weekender I feel swallows even me, but the Work is perfection!

zacorey · Oct 11th, 2007, 11:15 AM

Go for the Work!!! If you hate it you can always return it!!!!

Shasta: I don't meet either your height or weight requirements...I'm 5'8" and still carrying baby weight (c'mon, my youngest is only 11...these things take time....but like StyleFly, IT'S ALL MUSCLE!!!!!!) So, I'm bigger, but the WEEKENDER is still MASSIVE on me. The Work is such a perfectly balanced size that it does truly look fabulous on EVERYONE! Fayden's photo says it all. She just looks fabulous with it and it doesn't look at all over-sized on her smaller frame.

(btw, you guys all blow me away....I'm truly not HUGE, but there's NO FLIPPING WAY Work handles would ever fit over my shoulder. wtf???)

Let us know what you decide Shasta!! Good luck!

I thought the Work would be too big...until I tried it! I'm 5'7 and 140 lbs (of muscle with a thick layer of fat covering it up)

JudieH · Oct 11th, 2007, 03:00 PM

Wow, you guys are so thin! I guess you spend all your money on B bags instead of food, huh? I need to try that!!!!

Seriously, the posters on this thread are GORGEOUS! I love your Works too.

JudieH · Oct 11th, 2007, 03:59 PM

eclecticbagz, I hope no one was offended by my comment. I was just struck at the beauty of all the posters!!! And yes, with a bit of envy as well. I need to release 10-15 pounds myself!

eclecticbagz · Oct 11th, 2007, 04:10 PM

i didn't even think of that...i was just relating with your self-deprecating humor:) i agree and think all the ladies look wonderful! i can only hope that one day i will eventually lose all my post pregnancy weight!!

toni22 · Oct 11th, 2007, 04:31 PM

here are a few that i found.. i am 5'5" and around 130? sort of with muscles...

the coat picture was taken last winter... thought it might be nice to see the bag wtih a
coat since we are moving into that season!

toni22 · Oct 11th, 2007, 04:36 PM

btw...
i am pretty muscular.. i have huge shoulders... and if i sort of fold over the top of the bag and the zipper inside the bag, i can fit the bag on my shoulder wearing a tank top, but just barely.. but... check out the coat pic... no way would would i even think of trying to stick it up there....
