T...@Rad, I still think messenger bags are stylish. They're an urban style accessory, and they're ubiquitous in Europe, or were when I lived there. Vera Bradley isn't my style either, though my mom (who quilts as a hobby) loves her VB handbags. I just associate it with an older generation, and thus seeing it so popular with the 18-21 set is interesting to me.

I wonder if that trend is falling off and being replaced with backpacks, or if those Vera Bradleys just aren't in your summer class.<br /><br />Fantastic dress; I do like the monochrome with the pop of red.

However I switched to a backpack in high school due to the amount of weight I had to carry around, as we did not have any lockers. I'm sure I'm destroying my posture by carrying a shoulder bag with my laptop because I can instantly notice a difference in the weight distribution when I switch to my backpack (Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077462492390453650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812208221444119357.post-76124729219449272772010-07-30T10:48:14.244-04:002010-07-30T10:48:14.244-04:00I love the red bag with the dress!

Red and black is such a great color combo.<br /><br />In response to your question, I'm a grad student, but I typically carry a backpack because I ride my bike to campus. But, on a day where I need to look really pulled together, a bag is definitely the way to go over a backpack.Reikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560580118476403748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812208221444119357.post-15832708038679621202010-07-30T09:45:21.216-04:002010-07-30T09:45:21.216-04:00Congratulations on passing the 100 post mark!

I have fallen in love with this blog, so I look forward to the next 100+ posts.<br /><br />I agree with you - black and white does not need a jolt of color. The combination just works, like it does in your dress, on its own. But I love the bright, saturated red your bag brings to this look. The look stands on its own without the bag, but the bag Sarahttp://orchidsinbuttonholes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812208221444119357.post-1754607234930393922010-07-29T16:52:03.908-04:002010-07-29T16:52:03.908-04:00Wow - you look goooooood!
