Ha! That was me - my tassels broke because the overhead locker door snapped them 
I've used mine on both interstate and international flights and no one has every said anything. I don't fill it right up though!

Ditto to all the above..no problems at all and i stuff it to the max and never get questioned..=)
I would like one in Black with GSH...I figure it should still be big enough without looking like a purse for me.
gals, i almost parted w/my gorgeous, BNWT '05 black WE today 
...but low & behold, the thought of selling her started making me so sick, that i decided to hold off...my stomach was twisted up in knots & i couldn't even leave the house :s...i guess my biggest fear is having major regret & never finding another one like her again...and my 2nd biggest fear is that she looks too silly on me to carry off :wondering...i love big bags, but i'm only about 5'2" & weigh 110-115 pounds...i know my DH thinks it looks ridiculous on me & i wonder if he's right (?)...i've never even put my things inside her or taken her out for a spin...and now i'm wondering if i should at least give her a try (?) 
...i know we've got a bunch of threads on this topic, but i need help...can all of you shorties with WE's post your favorite photos & tell me why you love your bag (?)

You're too cute! I am the same size, and my DH said that about the DAY, so I can't imagine what he'd think about the WE. But what does he know anyway? 
Wish I could help you out with the pics but I've never owned a WE. Looking forward to seeing shorties with them though!

Hmmm....Well, I have always had the opposite problem being tall and wanting a first cause' they look so darn cute. Anyway, back to topic. As a lover of larger bags myself, I have a question for all of you ladies with WE....What on earth do you carry on a daily basis that requires a bag that big? I carry tons, but, would have a hard time figuring out what to put in it?? I find the work is plenty big for a bag I would use daily and not for travel. So ladies, after you post your pics for Bama, can you tell me what are you carting around in your weekenders

^^ yeah, i wanna know too Pursey!!!
...fayden, mabli, where are you girlies?!?!...come talk to us about your WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE's!!! 
oh honey! don't sell your WE i saw it on ebay this morning, and i thought to myself, is bama INSANE?!! you crazy girl! don't sell her check out my pics. i think she looks fabulous on me and my SO says i can pull it off. and don't forget i'm shorter than you are!!! under 5 feet and 95 lbs.
and I actually carry her with me to work a lot!!! it fits a lot of blythe dolls. heheheh.

bama, I saw your weekender on ebay and was like 
Personally, the biggest I plan to go with a bag is the work. But that's only because I know I won't carry enough with me to justify a weekender. (I'm interested in the answer to purse's ques as well!) However, I think the weekender would make a great travel bag- so chic!!
I definitely think that a petite girl can pull off a weekender once it's broken in, smooshy, and slouchy (like your gorgeous 05 is!!!) Fayden looks fab with hers! It does look a bit ridiculous when it's really stiff, but once it's droopy- no worries! All that fab leather speaks for itself!
An 05 black weekender is such a dream! You must take it out for a spin before you even consider selling it off! Post modeling pics to get some opinions maybe? But I think it's a keeper!

^^ ACK, fayden-sweetie, you look awesome w/your WE!!! 
...i can't believe i almost made such a huge mistake (pardon the pun 
)...i really think i need to at least try mine out for size & give her a shot...my DH doesn't like most of my bags (except for my firsts & my cities), so that doesn't matter i guess 
...and you're right, she'd be perfect for carrying around my blythe dolls...i need to start doing that again & taking pictures around nyc!!!
