I need help! I can't decide between the peanut/white/nude colorblock, and the pearl grey. I can't locate the large anywhere, so I have to go with the medium.

Colors I already have in other MK bags are: navy, pale blue, pale pink, dark dune, black, Heather Grey.

What do you think? I have no return option.

For an every day bag, I'd have to go with pearl grey. It's a color that will work with your wardrobe year round.

As for the colorblock, I have a very similar color scheme on my large Miranda tote (soft French calf leather in suntan/shell with ivory wings) and love it, but it's more of a seasonal bag. I only pull it out during the spring/summer.

Is the colorblock a large? Have you tried a large and medium on yet? I personally LOVE the gray but I was looking at pics of heather gray and it looks similar. Can you post a pic of your heather gray bag?

Also do you wear lighter colors in fall and winter? The colorblock might work in those seasons if you wear a lot of beige, tan, cream, black.

What are you leaning towards?

During winter/fall I wear a lot of greys and browns, black and blue jeans, and skirts and wool dresses. I wear pastels all year, but often combine them with a darker color. Like a pale blue top in a navy cardigan, light pink in a grey cardigan and so on. I wear holzweiler scarfes that pick up the colors of my bag/outfit. I haven't tried on the medium yet. Will do so the day after tomorrow. I am so indecisive...I really loooove the colorblock, been in love since first time I saw it. My head tell me that the safe choice is the grey one...but I do love the colorblock. .

Haha I've been down that road before! A bunch of times. If you are leaning towards the gray cuz it's the safer choice then I think you know the answer....GET THE COLORBLOCK!

I think you'll enjoy it, I know you love your pastels! Plus it looks so pretty in the larger size selma. That way it is completely different from your selma messengers:D

Also -- way down the road, it might be easy to sell the colorblock on ebay or something if it's more rare? Just a thought.

Lol...good to know I'm not the only one. I do love the colorblock. I can't return it though, so I'll try the medium and see how it feels;)

Norwegian Girl, it looks like you REALLY want the colorblock now. You should get it if you like it that much. Just check it out in the medium size before making your decision. I think you might find that medium may be too small for you. I actually love it, too, and almost got it in the large size about a month ago when it was on sale at Macy's, but I already have this beauty, so passed...

Your bag is sooo gorgeous! ! You are so lucky to have this bag! Yes, I think I'm headed towards the colorblock. I'll try the medium out on Thursday and see how it looks and feels. I'll decide after that I think:)!

I would say to also go with the nude colourblock as it's different to all the other colours that you have :)
I also think it'll suit the colours that you normally wear as you stated above. Good luck!

I think the first photo has better lighting and the colors are closer to actual. Honestly, my eye keeps going to the pearl grey. I think it looks beautiful, almost an iridescent grey, and would work best as a year round bag. The colorblock is pretty, too, but not as versatile as the pearl grey IMO.
