lol, I hate to say it but you look like a little kid playing dress-up! Don't feel bad, I'm taller than you, and some big bags look like that on me too.

You're looking good, girl! Your hair has grown out a lot.

I don't feel bad. I know I am fun sized! :lol:

Also thank you so much for the compliment! I'm baffled by the keto diet but I'm not complaining as it seems to be working for me.

Long hair courtesy of Covid-19. I have a hairdresser friend so I just need to make an appointment to get my layers cut again. They're a mess right now. Haha.

Katie is here! The bag is fine but the strap is not detachable and not adjustable from both sides. :sad: I have adjusted it to the shortest drop for crossbody and it's at 22"! So the bottom of the bag is hitting me at the same place where the wine tote was hitting on me with it's shortest setting. It's barely 2 or 3 inches above my knees. I would be hitting it with my thigh every time I take a step. I also dislike the stud and slit adjusting method. It's a PITA trying to get the stud through the hole. Anywho I think I need two more holes on the strap for it to fit me right. I don't know if I should punch additional holes or just return it.

@BeachBagGal this crossbody will be perfect for you. The strap drop is perfect for you.

My first instinct is to return it but take some time to think about it. I usually lazy and if it doesn't work for me right out the box I'm not going to make an effort to punch holes. They did have a Lorelei which is a small borderline mini shoulder bag if you just have to have something in this color. The only other new style coming in December is the Mod Bowie. Which is this silhouette.

I'm jealous yours came so much faster than mine. Mine isn't coming until Monday.

If the new style has a zip closure and a crossbody strap it might work. I can't do shoulder bags.

How do you feel about the bag, other than the strap? My concern is that it is so narrow. I'm afraid it will be hard to load up without looking lumpy. Everything will have to be stacked.

I don't have to worry about that as I rarely carry a "load". Most off the times keys, wallet and my phone are all I carry.
ETA: I wish it had feet like the wine tote.
