MJ CAROLINE help please!!!!

I would agree with the too dressy part, though indeed this bag is very classy. I had this bag for a few weeks and it was hard for me to use it for an everyday bag. I had one in ivory. Maybe if I bought it in black, it would've been more versatile. I ended up selling it to my friend. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful bag and if you've fallen in love already, go for it!

Good luck!!
 
bag.lover, I agree. The bag is so classic and elegant. Honestly, it reminds me of my Grandmother's bags back in the 60's. Obviously, these are more updated and suited for today but they have that flavor to them. IMHO :smile:

It won't arrive for one week. (Just ordered it today!) But I will post photo's when it arrives. I've waited for sooooo long for this bag - i'm so excited. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. But I really love that retro look - so this is perfect for me!:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
