Help Me Choose My First "Fun" Bag

[pandorabox]

The pillow tabby is nothing but fun for me. I got the orange one but I'm also a fan of wearing lots of colors at once (no fashion rules for me).
I purchased a fun bag for my bday. I picked a color that I love but didn't have (for me it was blue). Then I thought about my wardrobe and checked to see if I would pair that color with most of my clothes.
Now here is the best part: I picked a bag that had a casual feel but also somewhat dressy and purchased accessories that made it feel more wild when I wore it. If I ever wanted to tone it down again I can by changing out the handle and strap.

I suggest looking for a Coach bag that gives you the ability to change out straps and handles.

totally agreed on the strap. I have been doing that a lot lately to change the look at feel of the bag. Great options!

As my name implies, I'm new to the purse game. I purchased my first Coach bag a month ago and now have 5 total.

All in black or brown

My reasoning was that I wanted to get all of my basics out of the way first. You know, bags I can grab to wear with anything.

But now I'm ready to shake it up

I looked at a confetti pink bag yesterday. As pretty as it is, I just don't think I'd get enough use out of it.

Please share your suggestions for bag color. Something other than black or brown but that is still versatile.

There are many shades of blue (not just navy!) that are versatile and will compliment a variety of outfits.

It's been more than a decade for me, but I faced the same "bag color crisis" that you are experiencing now. I mostly had black and brown bags and one in khaki, and they were all very neutral.

But first let me caution you not to just buy a colorful bag because you think that you should. Make sure you get a beautiful, pretty bag that you really love.

Good luck with your search!

I broke my black bag habit - with gusto!!!

Sorry, this is long, but this is an epic moment in my short (but intense) coach-obsessive life! I don't have many coach bags but most of them are black and I've returned some black bags, too. My first coach was a khaki/sand sig parker hippie but since then I've been stuck in a black rut. I...
