thanks for the replies, girls! they have been very helpful.
i'm leaning towards no. 2, but i have fewer accessories to go w/ it. i don't want to go w/ dark brown b/c it's too matchy and expected, so i am thinking about getting a bronze clutch and maybe dark brown or bronze strappy sandals.
Has anyone seen anything fitting that description, or does anyone have a better idea? i might also go with red peeptoes (which i have) and a dark brown or bronze clutch.
