It really is a deep, rich brown that looks fantastic on you! I am in the same boat cause I always end up going for black bags. Keep us posted on your decision.
Jenn, Another amazing bag for you. Definitely keep the brown. It will be a nice change for you and I am certain YOU could make it work. do all the expandables have silver Hw? I am dying for a brown chanel, with gh...thought about the cerf and GSTs but they both didn't seem to work for me. Sorry off topic!
Back to topic, you are da bomb!
It looks gorgeous on you...well, of course all the bags you model for us always do! The style is TDF; however, i'm not a brown chanel kinda girl. I still don't have a brown chanel in my collection. Most of my bags are black hehehehe. Well keep us informed on your decision.
