I think this is a great purse! I get compliments on it all the time. The color (Dusty Plum) is just stunning. It's a great fall color and looks good with any color I wear. The shoulder straps are wonderful. They pass the elbow test. Which is extremely important for a fall purse for those cool days when I might have a sweater on, and want to carry my purse on my shoulder instead of my elbow. The size of the bag is also great. I have bought a few Jessica Simpson purses and have returned them because I didn't like the size, color, or quality (I like my purses to stand up when I put them down, not fall over). This is defiantly a purse I'm happy to have bought, and will be keeping!
