Default Alma Dirt/Ink Spots

Ahh my post is up with lots of responses. Thanks!

Well, since you all love my Alma - he he thanks - I'll have to show a photo of her with her spots. They bug me. She came with an ink mark that was a lot worse than expected, then I let my mum carry her and she got more marks. Arrrggghhh.

I did choose her for her patina - noo water marks. Argh. Maybe a water spot on the bottom would be better?

So then I'd sell her, and in the near future want to buy a new (to me) one... and I'd end up paying more than the 1st time and way more than I could sell for .... Yeah, I need to think more.

Anyway, I'm far from done with my collection, too! (On the bright side.)

Default How do I choose my bags? Plus my Guccis!

Oh I often carry my latest, newest love. I often choose on how I want to impress. Always go with what I'm wearing, but usually I just tailor my outfit to which bag I wanna carry!! Brown, black, etc.

I have a Dooney All-Weather Leather that I bring out in the rain. Then there are summer bags. It's so much fun wearing my bags! Haha.

The smaller bags I only keep because they're the ones (out of my small bags) I love and can't part with, and I plan on using them just for dates.

And then I choose based on how much stuff I need, but my bags are all large now.

And then I choose based on if I want my bag over my shoulder.

And sometimes I don't want to look like I have expensive purses, so I carry a wristlet or an understated bag.

I need to post so many more pictures!!

Here are my Guccis, but I might want to sell them. I don't terribly want to, but I need to fund the Large Wave Boston Satchel ... and it's going to be EXPENSIVE even if I find an authentic one on eBay, even if it's USED! Ah!

I especially like the vintage, because it's a classic style, moreso than modern Guccis. More me, maybe. But it's a tad small for me, oh I wish it were Speedy size.

And the Hobo is great, I love the size, it was really trendy last Spring, but I'm not sure it's ME. (Besides, it's popular and widespread as a fake. Then again, it's nice that I have auth, and it came from Gucci.com.)

Maybe since selling them won't cover the new, I should think of some other goal for getting the Boston...

Oh yes and the Guccis are: Medium Chain Hobo, "Ryder" and Vintage Doctor Satchel, "G Love"
