I’m buying a new work tote and trying to decide between colors - black, taupe, burgundy, light blue, or kind of a golden/turmeric color! Would appreciate some input, especially from younger fish cont.

Black. If not taupe is pretty versatile as well. I love burgundy but after buying 2 burgundy purses that I now never use (because they never match) i see the error of my ways

Omg I am THIS CLOSE to keeping the burgundy just because it’s so freaking gorgeous! I want it to work so badly

Black! Think of it as classic and versatile, rather than boring 😊

I’m 25 and don’t feel like black is too “old” (I have/wear tons), but totally know what you mean! Pick whichever makes you happiest.

Sleep on it.

When I have things like this that I just can’t decide, I usually give myself a full day (plus one day every $100 the item price increases past $200 - ex: if price is $500 I think about it for 3 days).

Ultimately, whatever I find myself coming back to in my mind is what I get. So if you’re still thinking about the burgundy tomorrow, or in a day or two, that’s the one to get. If you find yourself thinking about the black or the gold or whatever, then go with that.

Then make the purchase and don’t look back. Just enjoy your new bag!

Can you afford to keep both the black or taupe and the burgundy? Stand out, be yourself. I bet you’ll get tons of compliments on the burgundy + so many people wishing they had something like it. If you can keep the black or taupe too then that covers you when the burgundy may clash too much with whatever you’re wearing that day. Also depending on your outerwear, it’s likely burgundy may go well with that and then your attire for the day won’t be an issue unless you’re keeping the bag on you at all times

I feel like you want the burgundy OP!! Do it! You can always get another black bag :) I also love burgundy/maroon so totally get your preference to it :) life’s too short to not do what you want.

It would be a very standard leather work tote style. I love black because it goes with everything but tbh need more color in my life and feel like it may be a bit boring. The burgundy color is beautiful and by itself, my favorite color but it won’t go with most of my outfits. Same with light blue I think. Kind of torn between the taupe and the golden ones since they would both go with most things but not as “exciting” as the burgundy/light blue or as professional/polished as the black. Thoughts?

Taupe. Definitely not light blue

Said he can’t sit next to me and pretend this didn’t happen. I’m not saying I was right, but wow. Show vulnerability, say smth wrong and the guy just bails.

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends. I’m self aware to a fault and am very supportive/responsive but other than my core group, it’s hard for me to keep gfs around other than 6 month span. It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?
