Hi all!
It's been a while since I posted anything but I've been lurking
So my baby is now a toddler and I really need to be hands free. For work I have, well, a work. For ME, I have a beloved city, and a makeup that doubles as a clutch. For baby, I need something that can be worn crossbody. Anticipating this, I had bought a gorgeous 08 marine courier but the second my husband saw it on me he instantly said No. I guess it really dwarfed me and he thought it looked kind of ridiculous. And he never really comments on my bags, so I believed him.
But I'm eyeing it again and wondering if color might make a difference. Like for instance, I have yet to see a pic of a violet courier on anyone that doesn't look great. And Drati always looks fabulous with each of her couriers. I just think about a) all that luscious leather b) all that space and c) crossbody ease.
I've had a bunch of Days that I loved but essentially wouldn't stay on my shoulder and the last thing I need is to have my bag come tumbling down when I bend down to pick up my little girl.
SO does anyone have an opinion about whether color (more muted - anthra / gray or go the other way - bright pops like a bright red) might make a difference in how the courier looks, ON? I'm about 5'3", was about 120lbs, working my way back there slowly
Also, the flat messenger is appealing to me for all of the same reasons but I'm concerned it won't hold: 2 diapers, wipes, snacks, bib, my wallet, phone, keys...and dunno if it's wide enough at the bottom to fit a sippy cup?? Can a flat messenger owner please give me their guess?
Siggggghhhh......have never tried on a part-time. or maybe a velo? or a sunday tote?
Thnx
