I'm trying to plan an interview outfit for tomorrow morning, and I'm not sure what bag to bring.
Should I avoid all colors and stick to black and white for the whole ensemble to give off the most professional crisp look or will I look like a waiter or penguin?
Good luck with your interview! I like to think that if you've gotten an interview you are qualified for the job, the interviewers are checking for cultural fit with the team and organization. Sending positive vibes your way!
 
Same reason why I won't ever buy a Proenza Schouler bag, even though I love the look of them. Tried one in Neiman's once, and it took me a good 5 minutes to figure my way into the bag. By then DH was saying "This will drive you crazy... NOT the bag for you!" And he's definitely into my handbag collection, so he never minds studying bags with me, but the buckle straps just made him twitchy.
Such a shame, because the PS1 would be a perfect size bag for me, and comes in such gorgeous colors...:doh:
You are very lucky that your dh doesn't mind studying a bag. My dh is always in a hurry when shopping only in lv does he actually sometimes help because he is busy drinking what ever beverage they offer.

DH doesn't care either. He always excuse himself when I go in the boutique to shop or will just wait outside. He said the SA and the atmosphere creep him out.

@SuzieSueSure, here are the the pictures of my Cambridge Satchel. The green really is lovely--the pictures don't do it justice.

I like it when I carry it, but it's a little preppier/girlier than my usual style, so I don't reach for it often, and as I said, I find it tougher to match than some of my other colorful bags. I wish the edges were glazed, which would make it look a little more "finished" in my opinion, but the leather is really nice. it doesn't hold much, which is actually a plus for me as I hate having to search big bags, but others may find it a drawback.






Love this!

I understand about the finish but then again I think the price is kept reasonable and they are still hardy

That's a great coat papertiger. Love the McQueen tote.. is it comprised of flora? I've always wondered about all the skulls, his trademark..but do you know why!
