Ok, so I LOVE your decision and I agree with sublimefemme – I think A would make a great winter umbrella (let’s hope you don’t need to take it to any funerals!), but B is perfect for spring. PERFECT! Happy umbrella-ing!

I know I’m late too but I just wanted to say that I love the umbrella you chose. It’s a great spring umbrella. I think you need to get one of the others for fall/winter! ;)

Good, because that’s my favorite umbrella too, so much so that I went looking for it before I saw that Ms.(?) Punk had already pointed it out.

I also like this one:

I realize I miss the closing of the polls, but whatever.

I know, it’s gorgeous! Classic, but feminine and elegant. I don’t know if you noticed that the handle comes in different colors too… Just beautiful.

I know it’s silly to own multiple umbrellas, but I’m seriously lusting after that one.

Well the umbrellas you shared were delightful!! I seriously seriously love the blue skies one. So cute. It’s now on my radar…

And I might, at some point, have to get a rainbow umbrella too. A bit overstated for most of the time, but sometimes (Dyke March anyone?) just *perfect*.

oh my, i know i’m running late, but “a” is the most lovely umbrella ever (not that i fault you for your decision; that is a hefty price tag)

Love the points system! When doubt, construct a scale of direct comparison and quantify!

(Please accept my apologies for not voting as requested, I got carried away in sharing my excitement about beautiful umbrellas!)

Thanks SO MUCH for all your input! The advice is seriously, seriously so helpful. The little comments in favor of each one helped me get a better understanding of what was behind each option. (Am I taking this too seriously? Definitely not.)

SO. I went with B. I know a lot of you are going to be “NOOOOOO” and in fact, it was a very tough decision that ultimately boiled down to three things:

1) Style
2) Money
3) Durability

So each one got points. A got 2 points for style, and 2 points for durability = 4 points. B got 1 point for style, 2 points for money and 1 point for durability = 4 points. C got 1 point for style and 2 points for durability = 3 points.

So it was down to A and B, and while I LOVE A, love it, I think it’ll have to go on my wish list, because I just couldn’t justify spending $50 more for it.

Plus, B is totally cute. :)

But… A is definitely going on my wish list. Too bad my birthday isn’t until August. :(
