OK Let me do this first.

I'll show you what I can fit into my 28cm Kelly!!

i can't stand it. i can't STAND IT! this is like i don't know what. giving a junkie a fix or something. i'm going to be hooked to the computer all night. it's too interesting (hmmm, do i sound mad? :wacko:)
so your 28 looks totally perfect for me. oh this is too good.

kellybag, you've got that right. this is incredible.
(are there any guys on this site in general? or is this just a super sweet girl party?)
 
i don't know if this will work, but here are the contents of my purse.
clockwise from left: that's a small/flat cosmetics pouch (hermes - yay), a little bag with a mirror compact inside, sunglasses (only required on sunny days - not prescription), phone, my key pouch, coin pouch and last the wallet (black).
if i need to drop the sunglasses... i can live with squinting!

LOL.
I don't think you'll have any problem fitting those into a 28cm Kelly.

But it's not always about how much you can fit in but about how you feel, your style, the weight of the bag and how you want to look in a mirror...etc.

You should go into a store and try the bags!!

I've started a thread and posted body shorts of me holding my kelly. Hope you find it helpful~ ~

Take care of your cold and feel better!

Take care. get better soon :D
 
I hope everyone checks out joanna's extremely generous and helpful post "what i can fit into my 28 kelly - with body shots" (or something like that). she concluded my dilemma. i'm stuck on a 28, and of course my experience with it irl will ultimately decide, but for now i can stop running around wondering about the size. it's nice to have it resolved, and looking at her pictures is like taking a happy pill.
 
HiHeels,

I thought I will show you pics of what can fit inside my 32 rigid kelly, so you can compare with a 28. I'm 5"1 with 4" heels on that pic. Please excuse the shirt, I didnt plan to go anywhere tonight ;)

And based on the stuffs you got, I think those will fit into a 28 just fine, coz as you can see, I still have room left on my 32 for more things. But for me, I dont like things being cramped into my bag, I like a lil space :idea:

you are soooo helpful to do this for us (me:shame: ). wow. there is a lot of space there. it seems like that stuff would even fit in a 28 (without any extra room of course), because a 32 isn't double the size or anything. a rigid really does make a bigger impression. it's very crisp and tidy.
 
Heels, yep, you're right, I think my stuff can be easily put into a 28. Perhaps a lil cramp, but still fit. I'm judging this based on seeing Joanna's pics, of course, I dont own a 28, so I can't test it for myself.

I hope at the end, you can get a kelly that is best suited to your needs :idea:

Greentea.. thanks, that's very sweet of you :idea:

i used to miss being able to rummage. i used to be a bag-rummager. but my current bag definitely weaned me off of that, and 3 years later, i'm ready to fit into a 28. :D
it was really helpful to have yours to compare! the bag looks fantastic on you.
 
Oh Sarah, that bag looks great on you. I love that color. Thanks for the pictures. After seeing your bag and Joanna's I definitely think the 32 will be sufficient for me. Also, I originally wanted souple but my SA wants me to get a rigid and after seeing yours I have to agree with her.
