I'm in! I lurked in the 2013 thread, don't think I posted.
I got into terrible debt ten years ago when I bought bag after bag - remember when the It-bag madness was at its height? I paid everything off and started afresh back in 2010 - no credit cards, so I either save up, buy preloved or on layaway.
Last year I hit eBay and found a Chloe Bay for £80 - my beater bag, great for weekends and appalling weather. I also won a purple patent Prada - my day-to-evening bag. Finally I got my two HG Bals.
I posted in another thread yesterday that I wanted to have a year without any bag purchases. Of course, this morning I woke up with an all-consuming need for something Chanel lol.
Seriously - this is a year I really do want to shop from my closet.

On day one of shopping within my collection, I'm using my BV Brique Cervo Hobo. I expect to use this bag through the weekend as I've used it for the past two weeks.

I was wearing my Onna Ehrlich Maya and Ferragamo wallet today. Both are actually deeper red color, just very difficult to capture.

Happy New Year everyone! Cant wait to see all pretty bags next year!

Here is my little family of bags. (Clutches and wristlets excluded). I did find a Rebecca Minkoff travel tote this morning on clearance for 49 and think I might just make that a diaper bag or day trip bag. The new Kate spade is the little Nadine (shamrock? Don't really know the color --looks like Kelly green and is so bright and lovely). As you can see I need warm colors (red or yellow) or even a nice bright turquoise to fill in the gaps. If a find a good preloved bag that needs a home, great but won't go out of my way for that. No more than 3 though. Totally going to print this photo out and post in my closet to reference when doing the "what am I going to wear dance?".

Happy New Year everyone!!

I am starting out the year with my newest bag -- Coach Black Madison Shoulder Flap. It's a great medium shoulder bag that gives me the classic feel of a Chanel flap, without the price tag that I don't believe I could ever bring myself to pay. Since I have to work this week and travel to Northern California to visit family and attend a string quartet concert this weekend, I thought that this would be a perfect bag for all of those events. I'm planning on carrying this flap through this weekend and, possibly, into next week.

Ended 2013 and started 2014 carrying my Brahmin mini Arno tote in Black/leopard/brown from the vineyard collection. January is going to be my Brahmin month, switching between this and my snow leopard/khaki small tote.

Happy new year everyone! Here's what I carried today on a snowy, gloomy day. LV DE Speedy 35 and it's contents. I think I am the only person on the planet that isn't in love with the cles even though I do use it occasionally :sad:

At the very end of 2013 I bought a bag that I think can allow me to sell two and be at my preferred level of eight bags, my one never-let-it-go bag, and my formal evening bag. Then I should be able to shop within my collection.

Thing is, it's red. I have this love hate relationship with red. LOVE to look it at, don't often feel confident wearing it. But it was such a fantastic red and a good price and good return policy I decided to risk it...

Can't wait to see! :graucho:
