I like the pond patent color, but I can't wear the ergo totes (they don't stay on my shoulder) and I already have a hobo (and I don't like multiple bags in the same style)...so it's not for me. But I like the way that other people rock it!
I firgure I would not get to see her IRL if I didnt order her because i know my stores wont get her if shes only going to select stores or so they say!
I think the new pond blue patent color is pretty a very "usable" shade of blue that will almost act as a neutral. The color reports for Spring/Summer '08 are for vibrant tones and this subtle blue grey will work well with cool and neutral colors. It reminds me more of icy Aquamarine rather than the haircolor of an elderly woman!
