The Reva comes in a myriad of colors and leathers, including patent, suede, snake-embossed, and so forth. I wanted something I could use year-round and wear with many colors. In the end, it was between Mouse (grey) and Pomegranate (a sort of wine red) and I decided for the Mouse, because it seemed like a more neutral color – and because it had the silver logo, instead of the gold (you know I’m not a big fan of gold) [...] [...] Next decision: the color.

I love it!! I do not do white, or camo, and I MUCH prefer silver or white gold...but my husband always insists on yellow gold....so I do have alot of it...it just doesn't go out much! Great Post!

I can't help it, I just love to wear white in the summer, not to meniton you can always bleach white. Although I would probably feel different if I had kids! I will admit a little secret, I'm not so sure my figure supports wearing white lately. I'm hoping to knock off a few pounds and maybe I will feel more confortable in white again. As for skinny jeans, you really must be skinny. Gold is definitley gaudy. And camo is for war. I agree with everything you said except for the white.

I just think white is not practical, so not even an option for me. Fine on others, not on me. Gold? It's pretty rare that I see a piece of gold jewelry and don't think it would be better in silver. But skinny jeans? No, no, no. Not now, not ever. When I was in 8th grade, I wore these jeans. In pastel colors with bows on the ankles, no less. How ugly! I'll a bit further than you and say that even on the tallest, shapliest woman, skinny jeans just don't work. They look out of style, and not in a cool, retro way. Just in an out of style way. The only exception...they are easier with boots...but still too tight! .-= LZ´s last blog ..<a href="http://mymessyparadise.com/2009/07/who-brought-grandma/" rel="nofollow">Who brought Grandma?</a> =-.
