Help! Can't decide on ISM fabric!!

[tbaker018]

I have true pregnancy indecisiveness!

I want to order an ISM bag this week, but I can't decide on the fabric. I am going to get the backpack....but can't decide on the rest.

I want something that can be casual or more dressy (not really dressy, just nicer than jeans).

Here are the ones I am considering! Please help me make a decision! (We are having a boy...don't know if that will influence your decision.) I was first considering the tailored (red stripe) or Central Park (blue stripe), but now I'm wondering if I should get something more fun....What do you think would look great as a backpack, and be casual or dressy.

Tracy,
I'm really liking that Central Park stripe. I think it would be perfect for a boy (congrats!), w/jeans or dressed up.

Central park or tailored stripe are both great! That's my vote - I am trying to decide between peaceable kingdon toile and nantucket. Also having a case of pregnancy indecisiveness...!

Good luck

I *think* I am going to get the scarlett, but I am definitely a red kind of girl. So that will be my vote!

But I also love that central park bag, nice colors. You can't go wrong with that!

My 4 favs are Blue Hawaii, Central Park, Provence & Tailored stripe

I think that of your choices, Central Park or Tailored would be the one that could look both casual and dressy

If I were to get another, I would get the Scarlett bag. Love that print and it looks so summery!

Out of those I like central park, scarlett, tailored stripe,heather's check & provence. It depends on how many bags you're going to have in general. If you plan on having lots for different seasons/occasions than the scarlett & provence is more fun & summery. The central park and tailored stripe are more classic/all purpose. I just ordered the tailored stripe for myself. I just fell in love with the fabric the moment I saw it.

I like the Scarlett for both casual & dressy. The stripes are nice too though.

FWIW, I'm a fan of the mardi gras (fun, yet I wouldn't get tired of it, and also nice for a little boy). I also like the tailored stripe (clean lines).

They're all beautiful, though. You can't go wrong!

How do you guys think the Tailored Stripe would look with a black bottom and black straps?

[parkersmama]

I think that would look great! It wouldn't get as dirty. Does Mackenzie do that? Change fabrics if you ask, I mean.

[ginamlee]

I think it would look great, too, and I was also thinking of the "dirty" factor. Mackenzie does change fabrics if you want. She wasn't sure it would look good, but she also said that might be because she really likes the khaki bottom. But,I thought it would look nice. So, I came to ask you all!

Thanks everyone for your input!

I have ordered the tailored stripe in the backpack with the hook closure. I don't think I can go wrong!

Thanks again!

By the way, it was really between the central park and tailored stripe. I wear alot of black and think the navy would clash. I may end up getting the mardi gras when it goes on sale.... We will see if DH will let me.

Did you end up ordering it that way? I was wondering how you thought the provence print (yellow/white/blue floral) would look with denim bottom and interior? Would it be too casual? I love that fabric but the dark interior is killing me! LOL!
