I used to put mine in a drawer. We've moved office locations a few times and every time we move the building get more disgusting. So now I just leave it on my desk. I'm fortunate that I work in a secure area (even if it is disgusting) so I'm not too worried about people stealing. You could use the large bags during the weekends or on trips. Though I does stink that you can't carry them everyday to work.
2015 resolution - shopping from my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

Good job Mimmy!!!! 2 out 0 in is a great way to start off the year! At least you are getting more of your moneys worth with the Coach backpack.
Yay for the bonus!! And double yay for hte savings!! This Bal is really for you then, or at least, it's not yet time to let it go. Funny, I have a somewhat similar (not exactly the same) experience this weekend. I already took pictures of 1 bag I was planning to list in ebay among other bags. When I was making the listing for that particular bag and was just about to upload pictures, I stopped right there and then and saved my draft for later. It was not yet time to let the bag go...
Sorry to hear about your MAC. They said to use Apple cleaner (not conditioner) for extreme cases. But I tried that on a light colored bag but I didn't think it did much.I was waiting for DH in our garden (I accompanied him to their office to report for his dispatch to his new ship by Jan-end) and I snapped this photo of my mint colored RM MAC. Yeah, too bad she's quite dirty nowI've already cleaned her with Apple Leather conditioner but not all dirt was wiped out. Maybe I need to use another cleaner. Any suggestions? We might have it here in our country. Btw, the key charm I'm using with the bag was from DH. He bought it from Sweden (thus the flag and moose charms). I moved out of my MAM but just for today. Tomorrow I'll try to use a different bag
Nice bag you have there! I heard that Fossil bags are made well. What do you think about the leather quality?Hello all
I had quite a manic weekend however I did get to use my cobalt blue Fossil Sydney satchel as a pop of colour in all this dreary weather in the UK:
My new favourite (my Le Pliage) has also been getting more airings this weekend, with all the rain it has been perfect. In other news....I have sold my MBMJ Goodbye Columbus tote, great bag but I just wasn't in love with it so hopefully it has gone to someone now who will really be able to enjoy it. I also sold a Ted Baker clutch bag that I was given for Christmas, I didn't count it in my original list of bags as I knew it would be sold. That sounds awful, it just wasn't to my taste.
The Prada is still at consignment and I haven't had any news, have my fingers and toes crossed for good news soon
Bake - on your question about storage at work. I just put it on the work area at the back of my chair for lack of locked space to store it in. We have a security guard at the front of my floor so hopefully my stuff is secured.
For ladies asking about MAMs, the RM Team just posted this in one of the RM threads:
Sadly, there isn't a planned restock for the MAMs yet But, don't fret! We know how much you all love the MAM, and we will definitely forward your suggestions on to production (we'll also make note of beloved rose gold hardware)!

Well done getting 2 bags out & none in. I am a big fan of the Fashion Project too. I'm going to keep donating to them even though the promotion is over as well.
I already feel myself on the verge of screwing up with this goal after a really terrible day.

I know exactly how you feel, I promise. But buying something cannot fix the problems in your life. I tried to fix my own problems with bags for years and all I have to show for it is debt and a poor self-image. You will reach brighter days and you will feel better again

Awww, thank you. You're right, a new bag isn't going to fix any of my first world problems. They haven't before and they won't now. I appreciate your comment a lot. We can do this.
Thanks! Yes, my laziness has allowed me to use my Coach backpack for 1 week. Think I'll go change my bag now.
Thanks! Yes, the Fashion Project is an easy way to donate clothing and accessories and get tax receipts for them.
Some days are really terrible, scumone. Stay strong, hopefully tomorrow will be better. We are here to support you!
I just sit mine on my desk haha, no security. We're in a satellite office with secured entry and I'm surrounded by dudes, except for one girl who I talk about bags with haha.
Nope, I don't think it's bad at all - to me, it tells me that it was a right decision to let them go. I have a hard time remembering what I sold and when I look back, forget that I even owned them.
clevercat - much congrats on your bonus and a great way to remember Norton by.
Ebby - great bag, I love the color
msd_bags - my mom just got a Fossil bag over the weekend and she loves it. It's a beautiful red and the leather is really nice and soft. She's really excited to use it and has repeated that she 'can't wait to use her bag' and she NEVER says that about ANY bag.
Sorry for not responding to everyone, this thread is moving a bit too fast for me =S
Update - starting my second week in my KS - so far so good. I used to have to think about her a lot when I used her in terms of how everything fit, but I'm slowly not having to think about it and it seems like it's getting easier and easier. As of today, it seems KS will staying.. at least as of today.
Big hugs. Honestly, I know exactly how you feel. It'll get better - hoping today is much brighter for you.
I have some free time after lunch before my son and I review his lessons so I thought I'd drop by to say Hi!
Hang in there scumone! I know how you feel. I was that way before but now I'm proud to say that I am better in resisting the urge to buy bags or wallets when I'm emotionally "unstable" so to speak hehe. And this thread is one of the factors that helped me. Stay strong. You can do it!
And something happened today that will make me even stricter with my bag spending. DH and I talked to a contractor about a possible home renovation and it will be a major one. So now I see myself saving up more for our home than for a bag. This is a great motivation. I still have my bag wishlist but a bag can wait. I still have other bags in my closet for me to enjoy
Hugs to you, scumone. I'm realizing that I'm also something of an emotional shopper, especially since my finances are pretty comfy these days. I guess I don't really have anything useful to say except that you're not alone!
As for the security at work question, I often leave my bag on my desk. Our desks are U shaped, with a locking filing cabinet on each end, so sometimes I put my bag under the desk against the side of the cabinet, where you can't see it unless you're inside the cubicle. I don't have anything more expensive than Coach or Michael Kors and we have almost no theft in the office, so I don't fret about it a lot. Drives my boss and coworkers up the wall, they all lock up their purses. My boss has on occasion put my bag in the overhead if we were going into a meeting or something.
Thanks for the suggestions on the violet MK, everyone. I'm going to work on that since I have a goal of using all my bags this year. I just ordered a gray skirt from ModCloth, and I think I'll look at pairing it with that. I also have a pair of purple ankle boots. Hmmmm.......stay tuned.
Today I used a different MK, this suede snake print one. I have no idea what the name of it is, I got it at the outlet.

Hi ladies! I finally made it over here! So today while my LO was napping, I was able to work on my StyleBook app. I added all of my sweaters and sleeveless tops/blouses. Seriously, why does one need 25 sleeveless tops, 3 being white/cream bottom ups?? Anyway, I've added enough to actually start adding looks! Here's what I'm wearing to work tomorrow (I work in a very casual environment and it's going to be in the 70s in LA):
Jeans: 7FAMK bootcut
Top: Joie silk sleeveless blouse
Sweater: Equipment navy cardigan
Shoes: Vince Camuto wedges
Bag: Madewell leather tote
Jewelry/Accessories: Cartier love bracelet, Tory Burch logo studs, Kendra Scott large orange pendant, Chloe oversized sunglasses
