help me pick - my first mam!

[elmel]

Hi All! I am looking to buy my first MAM, and I can't decide between Light Grey and Coral. Both are currently at a good price on ebay.

Currently, I only have the Wine Nikki, but I have also pre-ordered the Latte Matinee. I'm 21 and a student. I know the light grey will probably be more practical and year round, but coral just looks so beautiful! I also have an internship in a professionalenvironment this summer, would it be inappropriate to bring the coral to work? Even if the rest of my outfit is professional and understated?

TIA!!
, Ellen

I think the coral could be dressed up or down and you could wear it just about anywhere, and since you have pre-ordered something in Latte (sort of a neutral IMO) I'd go with the coral for days when you want a pop of color.
Light grey is really pretty, though, and timeless... Oh, I'm no help at all

I vote coral. I agree it can dressed up and down plus its not like you'll be sporting the bag around with you all day in the office so I wouldn't worry too much about being inappropriate.

Light Grey is a great year round color, but so is wine, so let wine be your year round neutral, and coral be your fun summery color!

I personally think the Coral may be too bright for me, so if it was me, i'd go with light grey and get the coral in the mini mini or mac.

I have the LG MAM and it's great! It's a year round color, and after you break it in the leather is SO SMOOSHY!!

ahh! if only i could get both! i don't know what to do! coral really is sooo pretty though! but so is grey! ahh!

Personally, I think Light grey. I agree with Desi....Coral is pretty bright, so it might be best to get it in a smaller purse. The light grey would be ideal for dressed up looks, as well as casual.

I vote for light grey -- it'll go with everything! You have a wine already for a pop of color so I'd go for the neutral.

I say LG as well. It's a neutral, but grey is a little more unique than your browns or blacks.

thanks everyone! i just took the plunge and ordered light grey! i can't wait!!

I'm so glad you went for the Light Grey! It's such a classic! I just received my Dark Grey MA and I just LOVE it! Great and smart choice!

I would have gone for the light gray also. I like to build a collection with neutrals first and then venture out with bright colors. Congratulations.
