You look amazing, such a wonderful outfit and the bag looks perfect on you.
I, too, love the Jackie, she is one perfect bag in my collections.
We are bag twins!!
Congratulations on your graduation and on your wonderful fashion style!

Thanks all for the kind comments, and for sharing my joy through these pictures! Honestly I feel like a fashion slob half the time I go out, so I'm not quite the fashion-savvy person yet, but I certainly hope to become half-decent with time :)

Pretty~~^^
Can you give me some advice on Jackie and Trigger or Clyde? I am so struggle on which one i should get. Since you have jackie and trigger...which one do you prefer? I am about the same height and weight with you. How's leather on both on them?

Hello! Yes I own both the Jackie and the Trigger (but not the Clyde), and I'd say they're pretty different and not very alike, so if you can afford both and are dying for both, is OK to have two - you won't be buying two identical bags, if you know what I mean! :) But if you only want one, here are some points for comparison..

1. Size - my Jackie is bigger than my Trigger. I could fit notebooks, etc into my Jackie, but probably not intro my Trigger, so if you are looking for a bag for work or need a roomier bag, go with the Jackie! :)

2. Style - Trigger is a bit more informal, but I think it's pretty much a classic by now, so unless you're a lawyer or something, you could bring it into office. The Jackie is more formal, but they're both good all-around bags.

3. Leather - Trigger is made of cowhide (mine at least - I'm told over the years the material has varied, but most Triggers seem to come in cow), but the Jackie is made of lambskin, so the Jackie leather is more smooth, thinner, and less textured than the Trigger. So far I haven't had problems with either though - they're both smooshy and have held up well, and the leathers are fantastic - great quality and no odd, plastic-y smells. But if you want a bag with thicker leather, the Trigger is a better bet. On the other hand, if you want a smoother leather, the Jackie is better.

Since you're about the same height/weight as me, I can tell you that both bags will look good on your figure (i.e. you won't look like the bag is too small or too large) so its more of how much you want to carry in your bag, and what kind of use you'll put the bag to. Hope this has helped, feel free to ask any more questions if needed! :)
