I need some opinions ladies.
A couple of days ago and bought a Quilted Mary in Papaya, a color I've been lusting for since the resort bags came out- but since it is so bright I promised myself that I wouldnt buy it unless I got a great deal... Well I did, so i did! I've always dreamed of a Chanel Flap in a juicy pink/ orange color and thought how cute it would be dressed down for every day use with casual outfits. The Quilted Mary in that gorgeous Papaya color really does the same thing for me and its Marc so I love it!
I do need to purge one of my bags to keep this one probably and (strangely) at the top of that list is my Grey Mayfair A bag I searched for, for almost over 6 months. I finally got it around two months ago and to be completely honest- I haven't even used her a handful of times.ush: I keep convincing myself that I was waiting for warmer weather because the Mayfair is so small and I wasn't loving how she looked with my big winter coat and whatnot, but visions of little white tees and summer scarfs with the Mayfair were dancing in my head.
Buuuuuuuut- while these bags are different, they kind of fill a similar purpose for me: Small, quilted, chain strapped bag.
So what to do? With the new fall bags out- I'm really hoping to score a smooth Alyona in a grey color if one comes out. My indigo EW tote has become my favorite, everyday bag; the bisque Drawstring Hobo is such a pretty color and was really to cheap to worry about and I think I am going ot return the Chestnut Lou I have. So I need to make a decision between the two of these I think:s:s
Mayfair Pros:
Grey!!!
Was my first true HG bag.
Scored for an awesome deal (thax to a sweet tPFer!)
BNWT
Perfect little evening bag.
Mayfair Cons:
SMALL! (I can fit my ZC and phone and thats it)
Haven't used it much.
Mary Pros:
Papaya!!!
Scored for an awesome deal (thanks to another awesome tPFer!)
Have been lusting for, for months.
BNWOT
Perfect little day bag.
Can fit more.
I like the chain strap on the Mary more that the Mayfair because its smaller, longer and more delicate.
Mary Cons:
The color is so bright that I might not use it a ton.
May be a seasonal bag?
(Haven't received it yet- maybe I wont love it as much as I remember?)
Help?!
