So I have fallen inlove with the look of the Selma!! I bought the dove color the other day. I was comparing that with the pearl grey in the store and went back and forth a lot and then decided on the dove because it was a little lighter and seemed nicer for the upcoming Spring. Now that I have it though and have seen it in different lighting I'm worried that it is too light and am feeling self conscious about it. What are your opinions on the dove verses pearl grey?
Also the one thing I have found that I do not like it the pockets. I find it to be way too much trouble to try to get my cell phone out of the pocket. Instead of simply grabbing my phone I have to lift up the zipper flap and try to wiggle it out of the pocket and it's just not that .convenient. Other than that I'm obsessed with it!

You're not alone. The Selma is an awesome bag and very popular. I own 4 and love every single one. I tend to use my Selmas weekdays because they hold a lot and are easy to carry.
Dove, pearl grey, heather grey, and steel grey are the greys that I can think of by MK from light to dark. If you're already feeling that dove grey may be too light for you, I'd think about switching it out for one of the darker shades. I prefer the darker shades and own a large heather grey Selma.
You've discovered one of the main problems with the medium Selma. The interior pockets are placed too high so that it's hard to get things in and out of them. If that really bothers you, maybe you can find a large instead. However, MK currently isn't making/selling anymore large Selmas, so you'd have to buy through a reseller like eBay.
Thanks so much for your reply!! The pocket is a bit of a problem but not enough to not have the bag!!
I may go back to the store to take another look. I'm just so indecisive. I'm more of a brown purse girl so maybe I'm just not used to having something other than brown? The grey is just so pretty and classy that I had to have it! It's so hard to decide between the two colors!
Here is a picture of it for you all to see! I love the color when there is not a lot of lighting but it is much brighter in the sun and under certain lights. Thanks again!

Your bag is beautiful!! I agree that the grey Selma is such a sophisticated and classy bag! It's definitely my favorite neutral on the Selma. I have Pearl grey but I think dove is a very good alternative if you can't find Pearl grey. I have a large one (that I'm currently selling) and when I started looking for a medium to replace it I kept finding dove. I ended up waiting to find the PG because it's just a tad darker than dove and PG already is already pretty light to me. However, I think dove will go with the same things as the difference is barely noticeable.
When I was shopping around for PG I took a pic with a dove Selma (first picture). The second picture my medium Pearl grey that I eventually bought. The differences are very slight
I have a PG bag and for that reason I won't get Dove, because they are too similar.
Just my two cents here, but I seem to always play the second guessing myself game. I'd stick with your original instincts and keep Dove. You already went back and forth several times and even if you do exchange for PG, you'll probably start the second guessing game all over again. Honestly, both are beautiful colors and you can't go wrong with either. Good luck deciding!
Your bag is gorgeous. I would keep it. There is very little difference between pg and dove. Both are really nice....
