Polished - thats a good word for the TME. I think thats why I personally wouldn't go for the TME in that color. Its a little too preppy and proper. Perfect for some people's style, but not mine.
So, I guess thats something to take into account when trying to decide. I could see this being the perfect bag for a gal in kitten heels and circle skirts - or dressed head to toe in J Crew.
