I've found the bag I like, but I can't decide on a design. Please help! (You may think this is nonsense, but the diaper bag just opens up yet another branch of handbags for a mom!)
Here's a point to note: I don't like diaper bags that look too baby-ish...no Winnie the Pooh prints for me. (If you carry a Winnie the Pooh print bag, I'm not judging. Just not my style...like Vera Bradley bags are not my style.)
Here's choice A: Basic brown with Pink Lining:
Pros: muted; sleek; looks great with Amelia's brown/pink stroller; Darryl wouldn't object to carrying it in public
Cons: possibly boring; looks like every other brown purse I've bought (but maybe that's a good thing?); will clash with black...and I wear a lot of black; and if I ever take it to daycare, it will blend in with the other seven brown bags on the shelf
Here's choice B: funky floral
Pros: fun; Spring-y; has more colors to match what I'm wearing (does that matter?); a different look for me; will definitely not blend in with the other bags at daycare
Cons: Darryl probably wouldn't be caught dead with it; is it fun or babyish?; is it funky or tacky?
I can only keep one. Give me your thoughts. (If you really don't care...just pretend like you do.)

Wow, definitely two very different styles! I believe I like the sleeker, brown/pink one. I'm all for crazy, funky prints, but this one is not my style. (Of course, though, I WAS the Winnie-the-Pooh mom, & although I don't own a Vera Bradley, I do love some of her bags!! I just can't bring myself to spend that kind of money on a purse.) Don't worry, I wasn't ALL Pooh, my main bag was a navy blue Land's End. The crazy print one is a little too 70's for me.
But, hey, if you need a little funky in your life & it feels fun for you, go with the print!
Isn't Bag B a little Vera Bradley-esque?
Kristy, I don't judge you for your Winnie the Pooh...or your Vera Bradley. Just don't judge me if I end up sticking with the floral one. :)
And Tim, when I think of Vera Bradley, I think of paisley. No paisleys on this bag.
I will say I that the floral one, to me, looks better in person than in the photograph.
Thanks for finally posting! I've been home sick since Thursday, w/ nothing much to do but cough, sleep, take meds, and surf the net! Thanks for not judging me, although, I'd probably be into more "Pottery Barn Kids" if I were having babies now:)
I think you really want the print one, but the rational side of you is being cautious. Go for the print! Be funky, make D get out of his comfort zone, and remember, if you have another child in the next few years, it will be time for a new bag anyway...especially if it's a boy!
Why does this bring back memories of shopping with you in PC??? All we need to do now is meet for BBQ! LOL
I say go with the print!! It's fun, and even if it doesn't match EVERYTHING- you can get away with it since it's technically your diaper bag! Go for it!!!!
I say go for the wilder looking one.
