Like own a HUGE pink bag with a HUGE pink bow on it.
Bag: TJ Maxx Shirt: TJ Maxx Jeans: Gap
I mean, I know it's a ridiculous bag. But is it RIDICULOUS? So ridiculous that I should leave it at home as I try to fit in with the big whigs? It would be pretty impossible to hide when one of my literacy idols walked by....
Should I leave it home? Or, do you think it'd make a good carry-on for my flight? ...even if it is bright pink with a large bow?

hehe, I think it's a little ridiculous for a literary conference ;)
You would definitely stand out. Maybe if it was black? It's really cute though, so rock it!
Haha I LOVE that bag! You will be the most stylish PhD :)

Cute bag, but I definitely think it's a little too much for a conference. Have fun in Jacksonville!
Oh my word that bag is way too cute!!! Love your blog and I am your newest follower. xo
If there is one thing I have learned while being in the academic world, it's that you have to be yourself. Rock the bag. It's adorable and if anything, it's a great conversation starter which helps with networking!! =]
It's a cute bag but I personally don't think I'd wear it to the conference (where you want to be taken seriously!)
Lose the bag, but keep the homey bungalow. Wendy has some stuff that can help with the mold...
Legally Blonde was all I could think. I mean it's cute - but you might be taken more seriously if you took something a little less attention grabbing...
that bag is huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!
& so so pink!
I like the bag a lot, but I would probably not use it for work-related travel.
It's a great bag for traveling. I love it!
But I would leave it in a hotel room and take a smaller purse everywhere else.
Hmmm... I think it's a bit much. Too big and too pink.
I flipping LOVE it!!!!!! I must have one ASAP!!!
Pink AND Bows! How could you possibly even consider not bringing this bag with you, lol?!

I agree with above: you can take it if you really love it, but leave it in the room. There's nothing to squash credibility better than a giant pink bow bag. Trust me, I work with scientists and know their perceptions on anything fashion related.
I would take it no matter what. I love it. You can be professional & still have a fun side. If they're judging your intelligence based upon your choice of bag, they're not very intelligent...
i think YOU could fit inside that bag!!
i love the bag! and i think its perfect for a carry on... for a girls trip or family vaca... i dont really think its fitting for this conference. i would either take it for the flight and leave it in the room, or trade it in for a more subtle bag :)
hahaha it's ridiculous in all the good way, I love the bag from the color to the giant bow!
I LOVE THE BAG! But I love Pink and girly things. Looks like a Valentino. Carry it and have fun!!

This bag is AMAZING! While I'm not in the PhD world, nor the literary world, I am in the "I love this bag!" world... Very Legally Blonde... or should I say Literary Blonde?
TAKE IT! ;)
i think it's adorable and will make you stand out in a good way! :)
TAKE IT WITH YOU!!
that's pretty awesome with what you're wearing!! Have fun on your trip!

I'm also a PhD candidate in musicology and I'd better not tell you what ridiculous stuff I have in my closet :-) and for my subject you have to add, that the normal "musicologist" is very fare away from being interested in fashion... I think being different doesn't matter, even on a congress, literary is a women field, so they will understand ;-) Do you know Barbara Vinken? She's a professor at my university for French Literature (I studied it as minor subject, just search for via google and look at her website and you won't feel ever out of place with your bag - promise!) Good luck for the congress - do you speak there also about your PhD-project? xxx Anita
Super cute Bag love the bow :)

It shows your personality! Wear it. Be proud. Perhaps you'll get noticed by someone impressive and something great will happen? :)
I LOVE this bag!! It's so bright and cheery. Definitely makes me smile :) :) I say keep it. It's all about personality!
That bag is amazing. I adore it.
