Many of you were kind enough to look and comment on my natural slim tote....and I did visually love the bag, what's not to love? Except (and for the price it was a big except) the bag had no zipper or flap and was extremely top heavy; now the no closure thing was only a big deal because of the top heavy part, and this won't apply to all of you who own it but I have to keep my bag on the center console of my car because all the car seats are taken up with kids. Top heavy bags FLY off the console and onto the floor or kid sitting next to it, then objects in the bag fly where they want to fly. But the bag is stunning and otherwise fab. So, with my incredibly patient and kind hubby and kids we all drove the 35 minutes to Coach and exchanged the otherwise gorgoeus bag. The store was insane because of PCE. My DH (and I really mean the dear part 
) gets on the long line by himself (because I am incredibly shy) and returns the bag and asks the SA to please take care of me and could his wife please have the PCE discount. 4 of the sweetest SA's proceeded to help me and find me the last Whiskey Ali in the back. It is the perfect bag for me; I am finally happy and not second guessing my big purchase. And the PCE discount enabled me to purchase the med khaki/parchment cosmetic case that matches the wristlet my mom bought me for my b-day. I had an old case that had seen better days and was dreaming of a Coach case for almost a year. So, I am truly sorry for wasting your time with my other thread, though I really appreciate the kind comments. I did however keep the pretty scarf, how would it look (ponytail stripe) on a whiskey Ali?? BTW, all of you coach SA's here, for some reason people who work at Coach seem to be very professional, nice and helpful. It is great to walk into a boutique and be treated well, no attitude etc. that sometimes happens in other stores. So you are all either very well trained or just very happy to be working in a store that is pretty and smells of divine leather. Either way, thanks for making shopping at Coach a pleasant experience. 
(happy dance!!!)
