Just bring both!

OP, have you been living under a rock? Everybody in Manhatten is carrying their stuff around in trash bags this week. Sort of retro-grunge.

This "coast" is not impressed by labels. You'll look like trash.

Maybe she is vacationing with the Jersy Shore group in Ocean City, MD?

Oh come on ladies.

If DH and I took our fancy schmancy kids to a fine dining establishment, like say, Mango Mike's, or the Penguin Diner, I would probably go ahead and wear my peep toe Louboutins and my sparkly sparkly mini dress and bring the oversized Gucci bag. Especially if there is a concert on the boardwalk that evening. I mean you can't just go around Bethany looking like, well, like you are in Bethany. Now it can be a problem when those stilettos stick in between the boards on the board walk. But that just makes everyone appreciate your ensemble all the more!

It's hard to tell OP. Now, when I'm wearing my blue and red Lands End suit, I like the blue Ikea bag, as I feel it blends well with my ensemble. However, when I'm wearing the pink suit with the gut sucker-inner, I take my flowered LL bean bag for the same reason. The question of shoes also adds a totally new twist to the problem? Brown TJ Maxx flip flops or white Old Navy?? Which will be more fashionable? Sometimes it's all too much so I just stay home.

Someone as gullible as you shouldn't be throwing stones.

No on has addressed the "out at night" portion of her question. I think Gucci goes best with soft ice cream (or depending on where you are, frozen custard).

You talked to your husband about wanting to post this question? That is just one of many problems here.

I thought it was a joke.

I think she meant it as a joke, but the sad truth is that it would be perfectly plausible for someone to post this on DCUM. I mean some of these people are nutjobs -- if they weren't, why would we keep coming back?

OP it sounds like you're trying just a bit too hard. Actually, make that way too hard. Go with a basic canvas tote so you don't look like an idiot.
