So many of you have followed my on-again-off-again romance with the Brief. I finally took the plunge and bought one because I adore the shape and I got a great deal on this one.
It came this morning: the leather is fantastic and I really love the bag in real life, but I'm afraid it's too big for me. I'm 4'11" and 88 pounds and I just feel like the bag is a bit overwhelming - like if I used it as an everyday bag (which is what I wanted it for) I'd look like Nicole Richie when she carries her Weekender (although, thankfully, with a healthier body). I've been parading around in front of mirrors all day - taking little breaks from all my fun final papers that I took the day off to write - and sometimes I think it looks fine and sometimes it looks like it's huge. Please forgive my lazy-day final-paper-writing clothes.
I took a bad picture, but it's enough to give you an idea of the size on me. What do you think? I'm not planning to sell it, so don't anybody freak out that I'm breaking rules - I'm just disappointed that it will only work as a carry-on or overnight bag. Please let me know what you think!
PS - My new black Money (which I love!) is making a little cameo appearence too!
