Hi everyone, I need help with a decision....
On the weekend, I placed a PCE presale order for a medium Lily in camel. Now I am having major second thoughts! I don't want to drive my SA nuts and keep going back and forth, and I don't like the thoughts of ordering two bags knowing that one will be returned..that just doesn't feel right to me (although right now they don't charge your credit card anyway). I would like to make up my mind and stick to it, though. Because I will also be ordering a canary Bleecker duffle, I don't want to get both the Lily and Bridgit.
The problem is that I went into the store and instantly fell in love with the Bridgit! I like the rose or walnut color. I NEVER thought I would like this bag at all because I'm normally a big bag kind of gal, even petite at 5'2". So that's why I thought it might be a bit small for me, even though I admit I liked the look on (in fact I loved it). I thought from this perspective the bag was fine, but DH said I would probably regret owning such a small bag.
I do own a large lily in whiskey and don't like the sag in the middle, so that's why I thought I would try the medium lily since it does not suffer from this same issue (although I don't find it as attractive without the full turnlock flap and no coin pocket on the back). I tried it, and it still fits on my shoulder and looks very nice. I loved it! Problem is I don't care much for black or tan leather, especially black (although the hardware looks nice against the black). So that's why I chose the camel and thought it would be a great year round bag because the color is light enough for spring and summer use. I kept holding off on the medium lily before because I thought perhaps eventually they would release another color (I loved the Atlantic color for the large lily but missed out on it). I'd love a teal color of some sort. But I was told there are no plans at the moment to release any other colors in the all-leather medium lily...and I don't want to wait forever! They have also even revised the color list for the large lily, and that keeps changing... who knows!!
Ok, so do I go with my nonpractical Bridgit bag option simply because I'm lusting over the style (and I AM lusting), or do I stick with a more practical bag and practical color, still a style I love and one that I can carry all the time (but just a color I'm not crazy about)?? I do have some time to make a final decision, but would really appreciate some opinions from everyone.
Anyone have the Bridgit?? How much can you carry in the bag??
TIA for your help!!
