Hi girls! The time has apparently come for me to choose a third Mulberry (constant eBay checking, itchy trigger fingers, etc) and I thought asking for your advice might help to avert some kind of buying disaster. I don't have the funds to buy bags that don't fulfill a certain function or that I don't use, so I'm trying to make a considered choice, for once
I currently have an Oak Roxy and a Choco Elgin, both of which I love. What I need is a smaller bag that I can use for toting around on long days in the city and can transition well to nights out, which at this point in my life means bar hopping and the occasional nice event rather than the opera. Ideally the bag would also be black or some darker color to diversify my collection and, um, absorb things, but my preference leans toward oak, or at least a color that can go with everything and in all seasons.
That having been said, these are what I've been considering:
1. Choco Rosie. Pros: small, Roxanne DNA, hardy. Cons: while I don't need the cavernous space the Roxanne promises, I'm tall enough that the larger size suits me perfectly. Everyone else looks fab in modeling photos, but I'm afraid I'll look rather like a linebacker with a tiny, adorable Rosie-shaped football. (I'd also secretly like oak, but can't justify both oak Roxy and Rosie, sadly.)
2. Oak (or other...say, blonde? ) Effie. Pros: smaller, casual, a really stunning alternative to oak. Cons: don't quite know if I can dress it up quite as much as I'd like.
Any opinions on the above would be much appreciated, as would other choices that might suit what I'm looking for. I'm starting to think that if I can't decide it means that I don't really need another bag at all! Perish the thought
Many thanks in advance
