My teen jodie in Cod arrived! I love it but I want to make sure the colour works for my skintone and my palette. Need your guys thoughts if I should keep her.
Congrats it’s beautiful…but very well with monochromatic looks. Personally, not so sure if it’s much of a neutral when paired with contrasting colours-I do like a pop of yellowish warm tone against dark colours. However, it depends if you like it enough. Don’t settle for something less than what you want just because it is on sale. If you really like it, keep it. If you are not sure, get the one you would truly enjoy.
 
Hi! Is it too late to get a Jodie in small….I have been contemplating one lately but not sure. Most of my bags are structured and I don’t have a hobo bag. Jodie seems like a good contender. Is Jodie small too big for everyday? How is the wear and wear on small Jodie bags in lighter colour…please share your view if you already have one. Thanks.
I've only had it for a week, so maybe I'm not of much help, but I've used it everyday and planning to keep using it as an everyday bag.
I am not really tall but cannot do ’clutch’ type bags with no shoulder strap! So no mini…not sure if the teen size would fit over my shoulders ….or even look good over the shoulder? Esp with the wintery weather and coats and all!
There is a huge difference in what fits in the mini and then the teen + small. I have the mini where only a phone, cardholder and keys fit, the teen and small are not clutches like that.
It is really worth it trying both the teen and small out in a store to compare them - I was sure I wanted the teen version, but ended up with the small instead after trying them out. First of all because size small looks better on my frame than the teen one, but I am also semi-tall, you should go for the one that suits your frame. Second of all the small version has a pocket with a zipper, that sealed the deal for me as I find that a necessity.
Regarding winter coats, depending on how big your winter coat is, my small fits with my puffercoat, but it doesn't look very stylish and is not as comfortable as when I wear it with my less chunky wool coat.

True…I need to try it out. Thanks for the update on yours. Sounds like Teen would be the way to go…but then I am wondering if I am going through ’Gucci Dionysus’ phase….I loved the bag so much, saw it everywhere, and finally I bought it….unfortunately in wrong colour and size! So its gathering dust…and it has been difficult to sell it at a decent price!
 
Have you checked out other colours? I think Lime Green would suit you well:

I am considering to buy that color in teen. What do you guys think will it be too much colour on bigger size like teen? will this colour look good in nordic winter as well?

Anyone has this “limited edition” Mini Jodie? I love this fabric because it makes the bag so much lighter. But I also love the grey suede version. Kinda want this to work with a daytime wedding guest outfit, which would be in light pink tone. Thoughts appreciated.
