Essentials for me - wristlet with my cards in it, phone, keys, inhaler, work badge.
I tend to gravitate to neutral bags so that it doesn't matter what I wear it with, lol. I generally only plan my outfits around a bag if I want to use a bag with a color.
Have you read the KonMari book? She believes in this, likely as part of her Shinto religion. She's Japanese, and the book was clearly written for a Japanese audience. She talks about emptying your bag each day, because your bag serves you all day faithfully, carries all your stuff, even when it's full to the point of bursting, and it deserves a rest at the end of the day. She also talks about how your clothes and books and other belongings become dormant when they sit without being used and for this reason you should pick them up and handle them before you decide whether or not to get rid of them. They will come back to life and speak to you when you handle them. She often talks about objects as if they have souls and feelings.
Disneyland has gotten ridiculously expensive.
In news for me, I got a bite on my Coach Turnlock Tote listing
I hope she follows through and buys it.

Congrats on the sale! I hope it goes through.
I have that Konmari book, but I only finish the clothing chapter. DH just brief me the rest and well, I kinda lazy. I notice something like this, too, but not much. Maybe there'll be more in the next chapter? But I really think that objects can feel the energy from us and can absorb and probably communicate at some way. But that's because I believe that everything, alive or not, have soul.
It's so hard for me to trash stuff. I prefer to find it a good home. I wish I could carry all my cards in a wristlet. I have too many crap, but I keep carrying them just in case.
That's the old style, which I think they are discontinuing, at least for the canvas, not sure if they've gotten to discontinuing the epi and emperinte versions.
This is the new model: http://ca.louisvuitton.com/eng-ca/products/zippy-compact-wallet-monogram-011226

I need to empty my bag everyday. Even if I don't go out beyond work, somehow my bag just accumulates things that I don't have to carry around.
So true, they even limited the So-Cal Annual passes, the other passes are absurd. I used to pay $500 for the premium year pass (something like that). Now it's like over $1000.
I just want the Starbucks ornaments. Lol.
Good luck with your sale!

I say read the Konmarie book, even if it doesn't get you to completely clean out. It helps curb bringing things in.
I keep my payment cards in my wallet. Then my card case (or a wristlet) for the loyalty cards, gift cards, etc. This way it's on hand, but if you gotta go with minimal things, it's a lot easier.
Yes! I was thinking about it last night after I see the pantone swatch. It would be lovely. A rose quartz Minerva in Merino. (I even have a weird idea of changing the flap's color into black since very likely this one will be a bespoke bag. I have to keep reminding myself that this is not a new year yet. I shouldn't be plotting on getting a new bag, but oh... well... Or should I have it in black with that pink color as a flap? Not that I'm big on color block, but I just love my bag to have a little more of something lately.)
Your essential sounds a lot like mine. And I tend to carry in bulk and some more. I keep telling myself there's a reason I can't go minimalism for long.But my shoulders and people around me don't seem to agree on me carrying such a load.
Ah.. you're so lucky you can wear camel. I look so old and fat and very very plain in that color. (It adds years and inches to my already not-so-little body) I'd love to one day wear a nice pant suit or a safari jacket in that color and look as sharp as Lauren Bacall. Well, not gonna happen.
Post it here when it arrive! I'd love to oogle on yours.
I definitely started carrying less when I started getting bad headaches. They said it was stress on top of tension on my back, shoulders, neck. The moment I lightened the load, the headaches lost their intensity.
I'm sure you look fine in camel check!
I got the kids length because I'm 5'2" and the adult ones I have require so many loops to not be ridiculously long on me. For the light weight scarves it's fine, but for the winter scarves where I'm already wearing a coat and just need the neck to be covered, the kids length is perfect.
Also, googled Lauren Bacall, and omg. She's pretty and I wish my hair would be like hers. Mine is too thick and straight to do anything with, haha.
The scarf bar has soooo many options, so even if camel isn't your color, there's a lot of other options to choose from.
The fun part is that it's still made in Scotland and will be embroidered in Scotland.
DBF and I were oogling every scarf displayed. So many weights and textures to choose from, though I think the embroidery is only on the winter wool scarves.
Oh.... no. You're not carrying too much. I carry quite a similar load to yours. (I even have a small bottle of baby powder in my bag, just in case of an unexpected sweat or else, I don't know what I can use it for.) I leave my house in the morning with a notion that I won't be back until the end of the day so if anything happen, I'll be on my own. And with that idea in mind, I pack everything.
That's such a cute bag! I'm sure it'll help lighten up your day. I smile every time I see a Tokidoki bag.
That's a great idea. I carry these stuff, too, plus some more.
I carry a notebook and a 10-color-in-1 chubby pen that I give to DD when we are at a restaurant that's not so kid's friendly so she has something to do. (I use it for taking note, too.) Not to mention I have 2 sets of color marker on me all the time.I think if you just carry it with you to work and back, then it should be fine. Well, but then again, I always pack everything.
Wow! That's such a compact bunch. I guess the key is organizing then. :shame:
Haha, there are times during my lunch break I wish I brought my coloring book, because I'm trying to not spend my break times looking at the computer screen. I'll have to figure out what I can take out of my bag (again, random items that seem to live there despite not being the essentials I need daily), to see if I can have the weight of a coloring book and pencils on me.
Essentials? 2 pouches with personal stuff like lip balm, travel makeup powder, tissues, medicine, crayons (kids), and a few other little items. Wallet, keys, and phone.
Do I change bags? I actually dress around a bag. I know it sounds crazy but I can't not coordinate bags with my outfits. If I'm going to be in workout gear all day, I'm in a longchamp for the day.
I've still been good about changing bags. Last 2 weeks I was in my Burberry I got last year for my birthday. I like to wear bags around the time of year I got them to remind me of happy memories. I'm currently in my RM jealous satchel I got two years ago for that birthday. I also started a new position that I have to go into the office 2-3 times a week so I needed to tote around a lap top. I'm using my Chloe Allison tote for that. It's perfect for folders and notebooks and everything else under the sun.
Going on a mini holiday to Vegas this weekend and have to figure out what to wear and what to bring. Thinking I might bring my MJ quilted flap and stay in my RM jealous satchel or I move into my Gucci Sukey. So excited. I haven't been to Vegas in 5 years. First trip without kiddos too! Woohoo!

Thanks, bake! It's funny because the new style (and I don't know how long its' been out) is the same as my MK wallet lay out lol... I like the old style a bit more actually. Buuuuut, I'm not in the market for a new wallet, so moot point lol.
Awesome, have fun!!! I'm heading there in January for our team retreat. Woot! it's been about 5 years for me too. Wow, time flies!
hmm, that's weird.. have you met already? If not, maybe ask them to send you the link to show the price difference? Could just be a tactic they're using to have you lower your price. Hope it works out!
It's on Tradesy, so we haven't met. She did ask me to lower the price once and I did. Then she mentioned the factory site, and I did ask her for the link. I do think it's likely a tactic to reduce the price again. Or the bag on the factory site is not the same as the one I'm selling.
IME, the bags on the factory site are only a season or two old. My bag is at least 2 years old, so it would surprise me if it showed up on the factory site at this point.
That is a pain in the neck. I hope it works out. Lately the ones who chew down the price on my yard sale site are the ones who end up as no shows, not all but quite a few.
Hello! I wanted to drop a line and let you know that I have been away from TPF and keeping myself otherwise occupied. Our family is making some adjustments in our life and that has kept me busy.
We are helping our kids with buying their first home. We have been looking and trying to decide what to get in a price range that works but still in a decent school district. Both kids are single and don't have plans to have kids in the near future (to my knowledge) but wanted them to understand how location plays a big factor. It's tough in our market as it's very expensive around where we live.
With this upcoming expense, I am going to try and go on a real ban. In order for me to stay true to that I have to limit my time on TFP and keep myself busy. I am going to try and keep active here but in a low key way. My problem is that I tend to wander into other threads and I get off track. Lol.
Since my last post, I did pick up a couple of things. I bought a Kate Spade rose gold planner that I love [emoji173]️. Then of course when I was there I saw a mini purse that was in the clearance section. I bought it. Think it's the mini romy but I really don't know anything about her bags. I was caught in the moment and still wonder if I should keep her. If I had been on my ban at the time I would have tried to resist more.
Recently I have not even carried a purse when going to work. Just throwing everything into a Henry Bendel freebie tote I got a few years ago. Otherwise I am still in my Julian during the weekends.
DC, Congrats on your new Julian mentioned a few posts up! I know you will enjoy her as I have. Glad to be twinsies with you!
I also want to wish everyone else well with shopping in your closets, finding new homes for your bags, buying new bags and resisting bags. I will pop in periodically but with year end sales going on, I will need to be extra strong to avoid temptation. I will be realistic and not ever say that I won't buy anything but it will be only very small items and even then I should be more strict with myself.
Hugs to all[emoji178]!
