There is nothing wrong with being comfortable with your style.

Buying a green bag was lunacy for me - all my bags have been brown, black, or an off shade of gray/gunmetal. All my shoes, brown, black....mostly black.

When the right accessory comes along it forces you out of your comfort zone, not the other way around. You can't force yourself to feel comfortable about carrying something. There are accessories out there that would probably make you shelve your brn/blk shoes, bags, for a day or week or so; those items will speak to you, you can't talk those items out of your closet and onto your arm.

I may be out of bounds here - but, you really sound like me when I think about that damn paddy - it is like I am supposed to like it, so, dammit I should keep it, even if keeping it just means staring at it, and patting myself on the back for owning it.

Perhaps, we should make an agreement to list our respective bags on the same day this wknd - then it is a done deal and we will give each other encouragement about their pending sales and the great bags we will buy with the money we make. :smile1:

LMK - I am listing that Chloe Saturday (oohh, that's tommorrow). :amuse:

You summed up my concerns over this bag perfectly! Obviously, I couldn't say it better myself. LOL :D Thank you!

I was thinking about this after posting last night...I think it is just outside of my comfort zone...having the "it" trendy bag...if someone sees me with it, having them think oh she has the "Katie Holmes" bag...etc. I don't like to draw attention to myself in real life...I like to dress nicely and fix myself up....but in conjunction with that I also prefer to blend in...perhaps that is where my hesitancy comes from. Hmmm....

It really is a great bag, but not for me.

I am glad I could help - :smile1:
so tell me, are we going to list our bags on Ebay tomorrow?
 
I can kind of give you empathy there. After moving here to this town and being a housewife ever since (1.5 year), I haven't dug out any of my nice bags, they are just sitting there. The only places I go everyday are groceries and dog parks. Plus people don't dress up at all in this little town, they don't appreciate beautiful bags or shoes. I see quite a few of LVs but they are only MCs, nothing else. There is no drive for me to dress up at all. My family and friends are surprised to know how I've become, from fussy to scruffy.

My life aside, if you don't find the IF Audra is suitable to your style, you should definitely let it go and use the money to contribute to a bag that you truly love. Same goes to Loganz, sell your paddy and get something really is special to you.

I'd love to buy it (I like the first model) when you've decided to put it on ebay or straight to me...LOL...even I have no occassion to use it...carry my dog's treats with...LOL

I think this explains for a lot of us how we found this forum, and why we love to visit it so much.
I can totally relate...I think a lot of us can.

(oh, and I don't even bring my bag to the dog park; just wallet and keys...) :sad2:
