First, haircut!! yay!! it was getting so long…
Second, fingers crossed, I think yesterday was the last cold day for a while. It was maybe a little too cold for this jacket unzipped, but zipped, it was good. And anyway, I’ve had enough of sweaters…now, here’s hoping for some sun.
Third, yes, this is the MM6 tote I featured in my “Dreaming of Spring” post. I got it with some remaining credits from Forzieri because I just couldn’t get it out of my mind. In real life, I haven’t carried it much yet, just out for a bit yesterday, but I think it will be pretty perfect for what I wanted: a lightweight, packable, mostly-for-travel tote that I don’t have to worry about.
It’s very basic, and a nice, thicker (neoprene) perforated fabric instead of leather. It does seem to keep it’s shape rather well, in spite of being so slouchy, and will hold my laptop, etc., easily. It’s not as comfortable to carry on my shoulder as I’d hoped, so it’s better carried by hand, but I can live with that. For a fabric tote bag, this one is very well made, and interesting. There’s only one pocket inside, which is good for phone & keys or lip balm, and that’s pretty much it.
I’ll do a more thorough review another time, after I’ve carried it longer, but at first glance I love it. It’s also available in a nice royal blue for those of you who like pops of color here and there. Of course, I do not, so…
Happy Wednesday!!
I was looking at the tote online and it’s a pretty modern look with plenty of room for .. everything! Good purchase!
Monica.
PS: I thought of you yesterday when I purchased a James Perse t-shirt at TJMaxx .. lol The sizing threw me .. I bought a 1 .. hope it doesn’t shrink !!
oh yay! is it a drapey style? what is it made of? i haven’t had problems with any of my JP things shrinking at all
Love the bag! There’s someone who makes one like that in leather (Baggu?!?), and I seriously considered adding it to my “stable” of bags. (Gotta keep the herd happy 😉 )
I live your hair! I just got mine cut and colored yesterday after the 6-yr old I watch told me, “You know, Mrs. H, I’m OK with you not getting it cut, but I can’t handle the gray!” She’s a pip.
yes, baggu makes a leather version, but it’s unlined, which freaks me out…
lol at that comment. from a 6 year old?? it’s so fascinating that she said that. why would she care about the gray? it HAS to be something she overheard.
Her mom is my hair stylist! But I could seriously write a book about the things this kid tells me, she’s that funny!
After having the unlined Clare V., I’d never do it again. And I notice she’s lining everything now.
