So...I got this large parchment Madeline bag at Macy's for an absolute steal yesterday - $150~ish marked down from the original $428. It was the only Madeline they had, which is why I grabbed it to think about it.
I've wanted a Madeline for a while and picked this one only because it was a good deal. I really would have preferred a brown one. I love the shape and love the way it fits under my arm. My only other Coach is a black large Carly, so I like that this is boxy and structured for some contrast to my other bag. I'm still on the hunt for a brown bag, too, both retail and on the 'bay.
I'm not keen on the purple scarf, but would I be totally foolish to cut it off and put a legacy stripe bow on or change out black/brown so it would go with my winter outfits? Or will I look totally ridiculous with a white bag this winter?
I thought I'd ask all of the experts here - I've been a long-timer lurker and thought I'd finally come out of hiding to get some advice!
