2015 resolution - shopping from my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[Mimmy]

Got bored while I was parked in the carpool line today, so I snapped a pic of what's inside my pochette.

Simply wonderful, cupcake! I love how you're getting so much use from your pochette.

Thank you to everyone who replied to my post about Norton's passing...it has been a very difficult few days.
Normally I would shop when stressed. So I found myself sitting in front of the laptop yesterday with a heaving full trolley full of goodies from the SpaceNK sale. And I walked away from it. Then I was about to hit 'Buy now' on another Dyson vacuum cleaner (seriously, how many do I need??) - walked away from that too.
*sigh* I know it will become easier to bear, I just need to remind myself that buying something is only a temporary fix. That said, I have emailed Samorga with measurements for a custom purse liner for my Cabas Chyc. Something I actually need.
And I am seriously contemplating selling a few bags/SLGs and sunglasses.
Anyway, this feels like a bit of a monologue so for anyone who makes it this far without dozing off - thank you!

Just popping in for a catching up.

JennyErin and Clevercat I'm so sorry about the loss of your furry friends. Think of all the good times you spend together. I hope you will feel better soon.

Beautiful beautiful bags everyone. So much eye candy...

... Regarding the Ritter candy: the white chocolate with hazelnuts is our favorite at the office. I'm glad that my colleague is much faster than myself. I get two pieces and she eats the rest. 😉

Thank you so much Ludmilla

Lou- Congrats on not buying a bag.
Cupcake- when you carry your pochette do you carry it like a clutch. I actually took mine out to use but did not feel like holding it ,so it went back in the closet.
Egg- Congrats on not getting the bag.
Bake - I was looking at your burberry online and it said pvc and leather. Is it not a coated canvas? I love the dark leather on it.
Jenny- The dogs running in a field in doggy heaven is how I envision my dogs that passed too.

Awwww dc, I bet they are all running around together, having an absolute blast and getting to eat people food without getting sick from it

More hugs to you clevercat!! So proud of you for resisting the online shopping and yes you probably only need one vacuum cleaner Let us know if you decide to sell any of your bags, I always find finally deciding to let something go or not feels like a little weight of my shoulders

 

[misskris03]

Jennyerin & clevercat, I'm so sorry for your losses. I have 2 old cats and I dread the thought of losing them.

Oh clevercat ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so sorry about Norton. Our pets always have such a piece of our hearts

Good luck consigning btw! What are you planning to let go of?

Lou I tried on a leather Vince jacket at NM Last Call last week. Sooooo comfortable. But the color was not so awesome so I left it behind. Lately DH has been shopping til he drops & I've been "meh" on adding anything to my closet unless it's a home run. How the tables have turned!

Although I have been shopping for DH since it's his birthday in a few weeks. He's a man of many hats so I picked up a few new ones for him during the Goorin Bros 50% clearance last week

It feels like coated canvas. I don't know really. Once I read its coated canvas then I read its PVC.

Great job in resisting the sales and only getting what you need.

Good luck on your sales, that will be much more productive than another Dyson.

Thank you so much misskris, I wish your kitties the longest of lives

This thread moves fast! Hopefully I can catch up!

Jenny - very sorry for your loss. I understand exactly how you feel - walking in, expecting to see a familiar furry face...I too am heartbroken today. I had to let Norton go this morning. He was one of my first rescue cats. Four years ago he lost the use of his back legs and against the advice of my original vet, I refused to put him to sleep. Instead, I changed vets and after months of doing everything for Norton, there was that miracle when he started to walk again. So he had four extra happy, healthy years with me. That doesn't help me right now when I am in pieces and can't stop the tears, but I know at some point I will remember him with smiles.
This is one of the last photos.

I'm so sorry about your kitty. What a handsome fellow.

So two bags will be out this month!

I gave away my Coach Madeline to my mom. I felt I had too many crossbody bags, and with my love for the others, the Madeline won't get much love. It had a cpw of $5.35. Not bad, since I got it for $150 (50% off) and wore it for 28 days.

And tomorrow I'll be returning the Ferragamo clutch to Nordstrom Rack.

1SLG out, I'm giving away my Fossil passport case, since my pocket agenda holds everything for me. Quite nifty.

Good job on clearing out!

 

[thedseer]

Got my M0851 all loaded and ready to go out , when the school called to say they were closed due to severe icing of the roads. So home I stay and thought I would at least take a shot of it since it was all packed and ready to go.

Love the bag!

Got bored while I was parked in the carpool line today, so I snapped a pic of what's inside my pochette.

I love the pochette! Seems like a great size. I'm hoping to buy a small bag like this later this year, and it's on my list.

Don't congrats me yet. I am almost ready to pull the trigger on it.

Ohh, a Vince jacket; which one is it? I passed on a black leather, moto one last year and still kind of regret it.

Great job on consigning your bag, and getting more than expected lou!



Great job on resisting the bag that wasn't there! But seriously great job, because you didn't buy another bag either.

I am up early today because I need to resume my yoga routine. I am feeling better; don't think I'll have a coughing fit during class.

Here is a stock photo. The color is elephant. I love how it's light weight!

So I said goodbye to my baby spy. It was in mint condition so maybe that's why it fetched a higher price tag. As for the Vince jacket, the funny thing is my friend bought the same jacket but in mauve. I loved it but they only had XS. When I hopped into the store they had my size and yellow tagged. I spend a good few minutes there trying my hardest to see why it was there. Like, something MUST be wrong. The SA said someone returned it yesterday. Such a soft and light weight jacket.

It feels like coated canvas. I don't know really. Once I read its coated canvas then I read its PVC.

PVC and coated canvas are kind of one in the same. Have the same feel.

Moved into my TB quilted satchel yesterday.

Thanks. Me too. I have a son on the autism spectrum and he loves those kitties so dearly. They are his best friends. They are such good cats. 😇

*hugs* we're here for you! Grt job on getting something you needed. Nowadays when I feel like buying something u start thinking about what I can let go of instead and that helps.

Not to enable but that's a great jacket! And congrats on selling your spy! Great TB!

Really beautiful jacket, lou! Congrats on the sale of your Spy; glad you got a good price.
