I have a large tote (pink) with my intitials that zips, which I use to for weekend travel.
So, I picked up the small VB duffel in Petal Pink today:
Annnd, its perfect - fits shoes, toiletries and hair dryer - and makes my packing easier! I really like this pattern too, its so spring and pink and green - I think its almost reminiscent of a Lilly pattern. Probably going to get the large duffel now too because really doesn't a gal need all matching luggage?Another thing - so this J.Crew dress:
DOES Not look good on a non-JCrew model girl - aka someone 5"3 with hips - made me look "hippy" from the bust on...no good, so back it goes.
I ordered the dress for a plain, dark colored lightweight summer dress that I could dress up if I needed or just wear with cute sandals ...so now I have a couple of other options:
Here is the beach embossed dress (that I know everyone has) but its so simple and easy to dress up or down - I thought I could do a lot of fun corals/gold with it in black
Then here is the beach embossed in navy with white polka dots - I just have so much navy in my wardrobe right now...
Then here is the el cheapo version from Old Navy for 20.00 (seriously!) but I think its more on the casual side of what I want...I can't really see dressing this one up as well but its $20.00 - hmmm
Then, I saw this cute one from the Gap - looks like everything I want in the dress, including a sash that can be a bow on the side or back (not to mention affordable) but it looks a little odd on the models to me, maybe too big? If anyone has tried this on, let me know ~
Decisions, Decisions.
Off to Virginia - hope everyone has a great weekend & the weather WARMS up for petes sake.

I'm not a fan of JCrew at all - I do like the Old Navy dress a lot, and for 20 bucks, how can you go wrong?
I love that VB small duffel! I have the large duffel, satchel, small duffel, Vera tote and cosmetic bag as my "weekend" luggage. So springy and cute!
Gotta get the Vera Bradley garment bag too. It is such a lifesaver for all the trips to weddings we take. My dress and his suit never arrive wrinkled!
I tried on that J. Crew dress, too!
Talk about killing your self esteem! But, you are right you need to be tall and narrow. Not, 4'11" with a giant bottom!
You all are making me feel better I decided not to order that J Crew dress. The Old Navy one is really cute.
Cute VB bag. I need a new pattern with my new initals soon. I hear ya about hips! I like the Gap Dress best.
you almost have to get the $20 dress from Old Navy... I have something similar from last season that I wore with nice shoes and flip flops - the comfort factor alone is worth the $20!
$20 dress- I think you have to purchase it. I'm just saying...
love the VB selections!
I have that VB pattern. It's my current wallet. I also have the large and small cosmetic bags, which by the way are so much better now that they've change the shape of them.
I have the small duffel in apple green, it used to be called the sport duffel then they changed it and made it a bit larger. It's perfect for an overnight. I have to work on-call shifts at the hospital and I always take that bag. It's a great addition to any luggage wardrobe. The pattern is great too...so happy.
-I know, you can't go wrong with VB luggage!
-As for the Old Navy dress, I think I'm going with that...for $20, its pretty much assured I'll get 2!
I love the Vera Bradley Pedal Pink pattern. I have a big weekend tote that patteren and I love it. It's my trusty carry on for plane rides. Great pockets on all sides.
I tried on that first J. Crew dress and my boobs were like "HA! Good luck getting us to fit in to THAT."
