I love the Selma and I really want to get a medium messenger soon. I'm having a REALLY hard time however deciding between the black studded version and the celadon studded version and I'd love to know what everyone thinks. The black caught my eye first but I really love them both and can only get one. I wear a lot of black and beige (but usually paired with black) in the winter and lots of blues, various colour prints, blacks and whites in the spring/summer and I'm looking for something that is as versatile as possible. I've attached the pictures to give you an idea.

The black is a classic all year round color. Goes with anything, easy to dress up or down. Always available, fairly easy to get your hands on. The celadon is a SS 16 color, playful and gorgeous ( I do love pastels), but a typical seasonal bag. Celadon was released at the same time as lilac, and both colors are on sale and I doubt it will be relaunched anytime soon. I don't know if you plan to use the bag all year round? In that case; choose black. If it's a seasonal bag you want; take celadon. I have made the mistake of not buying one particular color when I had the chance, and searched a year for it. So my advice is...if you really want the celadon; throw caution to the wind and follow your heart on this one. You can always pick up the black later on.

I love the studded bags. Black is very much a year round classic color that's always in style & can be mixed with all sorts of outfits. I love the Celadon green but it seems to me to be a trendy color but it's a great spring & summer color. It really depends on what you wear & how well you can coordinate the bag in with your outfits.

For year round I'd go with black over celadon. Especially for a cross-body bag. You might experience color transfer with celadon.

I'd definitely go with the black because it's way more versatile and you'll get more use out of it. The Celadon is a seasonal colour therefore it'll get marked down at some point, allowing you to purchase it at a discounted price. Also, with the black you don't need to worry about colour transfer or whether it matches your wardrobe. The Celadon is also on trend this season and will seem dated sooner. Black is classic and can be worn year-round.

Thank you Ubo, Regina and Norwegian Girl! I think I'm going to go with the black, I did want a more year round bag and my heart was set on black from the beginning! Should I get gold or silver studs? I'm leaning towards gold but I'm scared they'll lose colour over time...any experience with this?
You should go with the hardware color you prefer. I prefer black with silver. You should also know that gold hardware by MK, if scratched, can possibly show the silver toned metal underneath. Just something to think about.
 
Hi beautiful ladies, here are some shots with my Michael Kors selmas (Navy and Neon Pink), had them out to make a youtube video (check link below to my youtube channel and subscribe if interested). Loooove these bags, definitely keeping an eye out for another one soon! :biggrin::love::heart:
Is there a difference between neon pink and raspberry? I would love to have a neon pink

I vote black with silver. I love the Selma messenger in this combo. I had a studded MK wallet a few years ago in DD/gold and the gold did rub away to silver on the tips of some of the studs from daily use.
