I saw someone in Nordie's last night with this on. I thought it looked huge on this gal. She wasn't petite either, but it just looked strange. I didn't like it at all....sorry. I know we all have different tastes. I have the patchwork speedy and a lot of people hate it. I like your Kirsten. It's very pretty. I think you should return the Fersen. I've seen pics of gals on here with the Fersen and I like it on them, but seeing this gal last night, it did it for me.
