Need Advice on Vera Bradley Bag

beach-mom · ‎03-09-2010

Hi everyone,

I received this for my December birthday. As I am changing from my Christmas bag, I wonder if this pattern and color will work for January. Or should I wait until early spring? I usually carry a navy blue bag. Can you give me your advice? TIA!

Where do you live? If I were in a cold climate, I would save it for spring. But if it's 70 degrees where you are, why not??

It looks very Springy to me regardless of the temperature.

I'd save it until spring.

I would carry it in the spring, not in the winter.

@beach-mom I spent most of my life in Southern California and never followed seasonal "rules". I wore what I wanted, when I wanted and the same goes for my purses.

If you like it, use it. Doesn't matter the time of year!

Last year January was a tough month so I switched to a pink bag as a pick me up! The fashion police didn't arrest me and I doubt they would come after you if you wanted to take your lovely birthday gift out and about.

DISCLAIMER:

I still can't wear white pants before Memorial day and after Labor Day. So deeply embedded in me I would feel I disrespected and disappointed my Mom, God rest her soul. LOL

Unless you live in Florida, that bag looks like it's for Spring.

@beach-mom That is a beautiful pattern on the bag. I am just about the only one I know who changes her bag just about everyday depending on what I am wearing.

I wear darker clothes in winter usually, but I also wear the colors in this bag in the winter too. We do have a normal, cold but moderately so, and some snowy winter.

I would wear that bag every season depending on what I am wearing that day as I coordinate my bag with my clothes.

Being that you said you are changing from your Christmas bag and that you carry a navy blue one sounds like you use the same bag all the time. If so, in that case if you are planning to use it as your everyday bag, spring/summer woud work better for you. Not for me tho, I would already have worn some winter outfit that would go with those colors and would have already used it.
