Well girls... I got it today but i am underwhelmed :-( i thought it would make me get over my want for the azur NF but sadly i dont think it even compares! I am attaching a few pics. Size wise its great, holding all my stuff and more but i feel like it looks awkward. I think it might be going back. :-(

Ok, I have some of each designer and will honestly say that while I love the LV Azur there are several drawbacks to that in my opinion. First of all, it does sustain a lot do runoff compared the MK, it is 3 times the price at least which means you could get at least two more bags. But that being aside, how tall are you and what bag is this one?
 
Thanks guys... Im 5'3" so it does drown me lol. I wish it was a little smaller, or the straps were a little lower. I feel like since they are so close to my underarm and the bag itself is so bag, it looks awkward. I def like the price... 186 sale vs 900 for the lv NF... But im not sure. I do have 90 days to return so i will ask some others how it looks. I like the fact that its big, i do carry alot. However i do have the brown MK that looks like the LV totally and its a perfect size... But i want a vanilla bag and not the same. Sorry this is such a long post! Im just trying to figure out whether i should keep it or not. Heres another closer modeling pic so you can see how it 'fits' on me.

What size is that?! I'm wanting the large one in vanilla. (I'm 5'0) but I like big bags. I've it 3 babies & I go to school so my purse is my best friend lol. I have the brown one in medium and I love it.

It looks great on you!

thank you! i think it is the larger one... these are its measurements per the L&T website 14" W x 11 1/2" H x 7" D. i thought it would be just a little bigger then my medum top zip tote but it looks almost double its size, lol, which is why i was wondering if it looks appropriate on me or awkward. i guess thats my only hangup with this bag... i dont want it to look weird on me.

The large one is I believe 21" W X 13" H x 8"D (according to the michael kors website - which this particular size is no longer available) which is huge. But I love big bags. I guess it's preference. It looks great on you though. I have the brown one in the size you have and i think it's okay and I'm shorter than you.
 
^^oh i didnt know that size existed! Then this is def the medium lol. Buy its big enough for me for sure.

It looks good on you. I think the gm neverfull Is bigger than that one. Can you cinch the sides? How does it feel to you?
The bag cant be cinched unfortunately which is another caveat... I wish i was able to do so.

Well that bigger size is no longer made ;( I asked Michael kors customer service and they said something about they weren't anticipating it selling out so they didn't make that much. *cries* but I found a seller that has a larger one that I'm thinking of buying.
 
Ps this is fully loaded with my stuff.. So what do you guys think? Awkward or it looks good?
I personally think it looks to big. There are the Jet Set line in various sizes and today at Macy's I saw one that to caught my eye. It is a bit structured but it' s also classier looking to me and more in the line of an LV. It was called the Work Tote. I've never seen it before but it certainly measured up to my travel LV. It was more finished than the Jet Sets. Price was $298. You might want to check it out.

Yes, I still think in this pick it sets so close to the arm that it looks big for you. There are so many similar ones and he keeps varying and changing them that its hard if you see one and like it. I def agree with that. But all in all, MK turns out a great quality and price point product, IMO. Good luck and let us know what you end up with. With children, I honestly think MK will withstand much more than an LV - and I say that having several of both. Just my thoughts.
