Hi ladies, here are the pics of my new stam hobo in Mouse, I'm in love 
I had sworn on the last thread that I was going to return it to help finance my new Hudson, but I think this bag suits me so well that I may keep it! But I will have to be on bag ban for a LONG time to rationalize it, omg ladies, I used to be a Coach gal, and my budget is feeling the pinch from my new MJ obsession! I'm thinking that this will be the last bag for at least 6 months, if not longer.
I can see why this bag isn't as popular as the regular stam and mini stam, I can't imagine it on a woman much smaller than myself (I'm 5'9"), it's just a lot of bag. But it's also really light, even with the chain. Without the chain it's certainly the lightest bag I own. I love the color - as you ladies said, it's a beautiful neutral with a lot of brown, much better than the pics. The leather itself isn't as soft as the calfskin bags, but I do like the finish on the leather. It also really fits in well with my wardrobe. I tend to wear a lot of simple pieces with clean lines, not a lot of embellishment or patterns, so this bag is a nice counterpoint without looking too busy. I took one closeup pic of the bag with my kitty (cat and mouse - get it?
) and several of me wearing the bag (I'm just about to go to my office for the day, so I'm not made up or anything). I also took a pic of me wearing it with my winter coat, I'm so excited to have found a bag that I think looks really nice with that coat! It's a tough coat to match a bag to, you'll see what I mean if you check out the pics. Anyway, without further ado, the stam hobo!
