Default Sorry! Have a few more choices to throw into my mix. What would you pick?
Okay, I'm so sorry for the indecisiveness but I have to throw 2 more bags into my choice mix. I also just sold one of my LV bags, so I feel that I can justify this purchase :)

I initially asked about the Blueberry Work & the Pine City, but I decided that the work MIGHT be a little too big for me and I like the ease of throwing my bag over my shoulder. I only own the Tempete GSH bag. I wanted something that I can wear with my brown-toned clothing, my gold jewelry and the warm tones of my wardrobe. So with that said, these are my new choices (I do want something "classic" unless we consider all of these choices one).

1) 07 Pine City with RH (I noticed a lot of people weren't picking this and I was wondering why. Are you all not a big fan of this color?)
2) 08 Black Cherry Day with GGH
3) Wait until I get my hands on another fab colored city with either GGH or RH.

I'd go for the day but in RH. Have you considered Charbon or Noix?

Actually, from your wardrobe, I'd love Galet.

From your choice, I've never see Pine IRL. Black cherry's ok, but I think it'll be too much brown to your outfit? JMHO

Since you mentioned you'd be wearing gold jewelry, GGH maybe a bit too much IMO. RH will be a better choice. Have you considered the Pom Pom? It's a versatile bag--can be worn as a messenger, tote, or shoulder bag.

I vote for the Black Cherry GGH it's a beautiful deep rich red combined with Gold just makes it very elegant.

I don't pick up Pine since I am not thrilled with dark green color. I would say go find Galet GGH since Galet is a perfect netral color and can go with your brown-toned clothings. GGH will be a plus to go with your gold jewlery. About style, Part Time and City are equally good to me since they both of them could be dressed up and down. Day style is more casual IMO.

Thanks everyone!! I love the PT with GSH.. it's so stunning, but that might have to be a future bag! Right now I'm not "due" for another GSH. I wish I could afford them all.

You make a good point with the gold jewelry! But the jewelry would be subtle and it's more to mesh with my neutral/warm clothing!

Thanks again! :)

Out of those ones...Either Black Cherry or wait for another colour. I don't like Pine. The leather was an extreme let down, the colour rubbed off on my white shorts and felt too thick and scaly. Ewww. Sorry Pine fans. Maybe there were a few good ones and I totally lucked out.
