Yes ! I actually bought it from the men's side of the store. It is so comfortable and the leather is so yummy on it.
Love your Cole Haan, Dcooney4. I bought a preowned one in brown leather for my "Mountain Man" DH last year. It wears like iron and still looks great. Which is saying something given that he takes it with him both hunting or felling trees!
Gosh this thread moves fast! Happy New Year, everyone!
I have deleted all the sale emails coming in from Anya Hindmarch/RDC/HG Bags. I've stayed away from the Harrods sale, too. Yesterday I ran out for groceries and used this
It's a great size and I can wear it cross body. It also seems pretty much scratch proof, rain proof, cat proof.
Today I've been writing out my goals for 2015 and for the first time in I don't know how many years, I don't have a new bag on my list.

I'm re-joining the club. Started out in the 2014 thread but dropped off due to not checking tpf for several months. Tpf can be quite the shopping motivator when you see all of the reveal threads, etc! LOL. I just have to keep telling myself "just because it's pretty doesn't mean i have to own it". Wish me luck!
For 2015:
(1) I'd like to keep my bag collection as-is (<20 bags) or reduce it by sharing w my loved ones or else selling/donating.
(2) Need to rotate my bags more often. I tend to use a certain bag or two for months and months, while others sit in my closet. Still have a Bal Day I purchased in early 2014 but still haven't used. Ugh. I recently bought the bright blue bag I felt like I was missing in my collection (MG large calfskin royal blue bucket tote), so I'll prob use it almost daily for the next few months since I love it! I really do enjoy my bags. I just get lazy about changing my nice bags out, since I'm already changing bags when we take our dog out - we try to bring her w us wherever we can (so I carry her collapsible water bowl, container of doggie treats, poop bags and some antibacterial hand wipes just in case), a diff bag for the gym or some place super casual where I don't want to bring a nicer bag.
(3) Clothing-wise, continue w my annual purging/donation, if not more frequently. I've got suits that are 10+ years old, some pieces w tags still on, pants still unaltered to my height, etc. I went from a formal prof working environment to now telecommuting almost 100%. I can't seem to let go of those suits due to the money invested and the thought that i might need them one day. Any advice?? They take up at least 1/3 of the closet rod. I would love to clear up that space. I already got rid of the dated ones or colors I wouldn't wear. I kept the classic styles in conservative colors, but I haven't had a single occasion to wear any of those suits in 4 yrs now?
(4) Shoe-wise, I really try hard at the one (pair) in, one (pair) out mantra, but I can't always stick to it. I'll try my hardest though.
Thanks for being a supportive community! So appreciative to have you, esp since you all understand how much we value our bags!
A lot of women in here have slowly become "ruthless" with their wardrobes. Maybe just get rid of one for now and see how you feel. Baby steps make things easier
although I loved the suggestion to wear blazers with jeans, I love that look! Good luck Beautiful dc!!
It is a very versatile bag. Can be used as a clutch, shoulder bag or cross body. Holds just the right amount for going out.

This is the red sevruga WOC I wore yesterday from a few years ago. Tiny but convenient when I don't need to carry much. I can put a few cards in the card slots and inside the zipped pockets, iPhone, lipstick and keys. Maybe more, but I try not to stuff it as the side will bulge and the snap on button will pop open. Not good!
The length of the strap is long enough to wear it crossbody. The straps r not removable, but you can tuck it inside the woc and hold it like a clutch.
I don't wear it often enough due to its size, but I don't think I can part with it.
Hope this helps!
