Thank you, thank you!! :yes: For all of the calm, rational inputs.. I kinda panicked when I opened it... it looked HUGE - but good sense has set in, that's right - if I don't love it, I can return it... no harm, no foul. Ok....

I destuffed it!!! Thank you Kiari for mentioning that... because, good grief - what a difference!! I had never received a purse that was THAT stuffed...

Fits much better now... I like the color, I guess I was just looking forward to more a of a turquoise, since that's my favorite color, but I like all blues really. Also... I changed clothes~!!! It hit me that I was wearing a jade green shirt... so that might have some affect on my take of the color... I put on a black sweater - and that has helped tremedously.

Whew... ok... I think I am going to take candypalmer's advice... go get out of the house, go grocery shopping, and come back later to get a fresh take on it.

First pic of the destuffed bag, second - can you believe ALL OF THAT was in the bag... not joking.

LMAO! Glad you were able to get it all out :p

Another piece of advice, i made my strap longer with the buckles, set it to longest of the 3 settings and it fits me better.

I really do think it is a great bag on you.

I did the same thing with the buckle and it made a big difference.
 
for that price, amyeb you would like it in another color? personally, i don't get the color. looks washed out. the style is great though. overall, you need to be happy. will this bag last years for you? pr just a could of weeks? seems like you won't even get the 'im-so-in-loev-honeymoon-period' withthis bag.
do what makes YOU happy. the members can't always decide what is cool for you. you are an individual. and i think the size of the bag look GREAT on you!

godd luck!
 
I think it looks great! As others have mentioned it will be more comfortable if you make the strap a bit longer. It will also soften up A LOT with use. My whiskey shoulder bag is so soft now that it has little structure left to it when totally empty. It might sound bad, but it's actually very nice. It lost that stiff brand new feeling with a few weeks of use. :)
 
I'm just not a fan of the drop of that bag. I mean - i LOVE the bag...but I really, really wish it had a longer drop...I mean...can you even wear a coat and wear that on your shoulder?
 
I love this bag ... I have this bag on my wishlist! I love the color! It looks great on you. That's alot of stuffing in that bag. I hope you like it ... it just may take time to get used to it. It may take a few days to decide. Like everyone else has said, it's alot of money if you don't love it. :yes:
 
Very pretty and I have the shoulder bag in whiskey and had to unstuff it at first to get use to it but now I love it. I do love the pond color and I am waiting for the legacy tote to come out which is suppose to come in pond.
