I ended up getting the Montorguiel PM. It's in great condition and love the shoulder carry aspect.

Thanks for the ideas of the twillys. I only have 1 or 2 but just never use them. Going to check out your thread now.


Oh I love that bag! I was considering it for my first LV, years ago, but ended up with my Neverfull instead. I can't wait to see her! Congrats lou!!

Thank you! Yes, we're all missing Norton so I'm spending as much time as I can distracting them from the grief...
I've purged my wardrobe and have found just SO. MUCH. to donate...ugh, I wasted so much money. But the upside is an animal rescue will benefit and also I found two dresses that were always too small for me - now they fit perfectly so I have 'new' things to wear to next week's meetings. Yay me. I am going to spend an hour or so now looking for a new wardrobe.
Meanwhile I have spent some money today. I needed to find a purse organiser before I could use my new-to-me Saint Laurent bag. I've just ordered this - in purple to match the bag

Can't wait for it to arrive!


That organizer looks great and yay for fitting into your smaller items, that is always like having new clothes :)

Bake- I love your new Longchamp. It looks almost like a stingray pattern.
Clevercat-Great job fitting back into your smaller sizes. I hope to follow in your footsteps.
Yesterday, I wore my LV beaubourg ad then in the evening we went to dinner in an area that is not so good, but the restaurant is fantastic so I switched out to a leather bag I picked up in Switzerland years ago.


Lovely bags dc!!
 
Lou- can't wait to see your Monty . I came so close to getting this years ago. I just wanted the strap drop to be a smidge longer , so I could put it on my shoulder with a jacket if I needed to.

Ooh! I like it! It looks comfy to carry.

I pinned more ways to wear a twilly. I'm excited.

Great job in fitting in smaller sizes. Definitely need to do that too.

And thanks for the pic on that brand of liners. I gotta look it up.

Thanks! The pattern is really cool.

ETA: I must say, DC, you have a great collection of bags from so many places.

You've been doing a great job of shopping your closet dcooney!



I really like the little Soho. Know what you mean about evaluating bags in one's current collection. In addition to the 2, I have for sale now, I think I'll donate another one. ETA: added a comma ;).

clevercat, please allow yourself the time to grieve. I think it's important that you recognize during stressful times you either buy or purge. I am sending supportive thoughts your way.



Very pretty and unique LC, bake!


Thank you!

I am suddenly having lots of issues with weird articles popping up on tpf when I am on my phone. Is anyone else?


I haven't. But I saw on the feedback forum that it's getting to be a problem. :/

More hugs to you clevercat! Love the idea of donating to an animal rescue charity shop :)




At least you didn't walk out with a bag :) Can't wait to see them all!



Ooooo exciting lou!! Can't wait to see it!!


I really feel bag content, except for the last one on my wishlist. Lol.

I am really grateful for the input to go only get the bags I've been wanting for a long time. I looked at the WOC again yesterday and knew I wouldn't be as happy if I spent the money on that instead of the other things I got or am planning to get. So thank you all for knocking sense into me.

And I feel like I'm getting into silks, but I'm picky on my patterns. I told my H SA that I'm picky on my patterns and prefer different things. Not big on florals and animals, it's too common. Beautiful but common. Lol. So I'm waiting to see what the new themes will be so I can see if any catch my fancy.

Also, we were discussing how I typically (both my old SA and a new one I met were talking to me) come in at a good time. If the store is busy, I don't go in. If they're attending someone, I wait patiently. They liked that I usually know what I'm looking for, but am open to looking for other things. They also said they liked that I wasn't demanding and was willing to take the time to be served properly as it is part of the experience at shopping at Hermes.

I told them that I didn't mind waiting as long as I wasn't being ignored or won't be dropped if someone else came in. I also said I preferred how casual they were and that they didn't mind my easily distracted shopping (I typically will ask for the item I want, then will peek at other cases for other things). Also complimented their friendly service and that they had made every single purchase I had at SCP Hermes pleasant and fun.

So patience wins great service and awesome SAs who will find what I want. Haha. SCP can be hit or miss. But they were pretty candid on their not so pleasant customers who were so demanding. Like yes, it's H, you expect luxurious service, but you also have to wait because everyone gets that service. It was an interesting shopping trip, lol.


End of long story. Lol.

Scarf stock pics on the Stylebook thread. I did get the green twilly just for my Evelyne. Can't wait to use it.
 
The blue Burberry leather tote I was eying is sold out on the Canadian website. It was not meant to be... I guess I'll just have to keep looking at other brands. This is the second blue purse I missed out on because I wanted to actually save up my fun money for instead of dipping into my savings. Can't win :(

Something even better will come along. Just keep saving!

Keep saving, something better will pop up and you'll feel much better not dipping into savings when you get it.
 
So I decided to purge more clothes (house clothes) and I ended up with extra cloth bins.

So I put all my LPs in one cloth bin, then thin bags in another (Burberry, pochette, pouches, Dooney bag) and plopped both bins up top. Since it's free and organized, I'm happy.

Sorted my scarves by silk and winter, repurposed an LV and Chanel bag boxes.

The only thing I need to get now is a plastic shoe bin for the keychains which will fit perfectly in between the bins.

And now the small cheapy shelf I have can hold my Prada and speedy without getting squished. Nothing is squished now! And no pulling out 3 bags to get 1.

I feel so organized. Lol with room to spare, but don't hope to fill any time soon.

Thank you all for the ideas! :)
