I totally agree mon, it's gorgeous. But the ambiguous color of it makes me feel like I would be limited to only using it with casual clothes, etc. -- I wouldn't know what color shoes to wear with a solid color dress, for example -- silver? gold?
and because the size I ordered was 225, I'm not sure it would be good for a day-to-day casual bag.
hmmmmmmm... decisions decisions.
(agree on the gold though, I think that is not quite the thing I'm looking for.)
