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

[msd_bags]

Bake and Vink, as to clothes I think I am fine. I don't buy a lot, but sometimes I do buy in different colors if the fit is really good (for trousers; but I try to resist as much as possible for tops). Just on my trip back home from the province a while back, I made a quick stop at a rest area with an outlet shop for Giordano (I think a Hong Kong based store). I brought maybe more than 5 pairs of pants to fit inside the fitting room. I ended up getting 2 of the same style in khaki and navy and a pair of shorts. I don't shop regularly. Maybe it helps that ever since I got addicted to bags, I lessened my window shopping trips to the mall. Will be hard to sustain more than one vice.

Bake, at least your clothes were enjoyed by family members! But I totally get you on wanting to cut down, for yourself.

Bake I am enjoying your old Burberry puffer as well - bought via Insta when she was saving up for the Herbag. This is what I'm wearing this morning to get coffee with my cousins [emoji5]️



Yay that's my first look! Look No 1 is the example look that was preloaded into Stylebook. Bake's blue Burberry puffer coat, geometric print infinity scarf, French Connection dress, TOMS boots (furry on the inside so kind of like a more fun Ugg), Cuyana pouch & Tiffany watch.

Maybe I should re-upload my scarf and edit out the holes in the infinity bits...

I also have gray tights on but I didn't load my tights into Stylebook yet.

Amor I bought myself a Goyard St Louis PM in burgundy last month when I was traveling in SF for work. I was using my DA Speedy as my daily work bag & then carrying a separate laptop sleeve / file padfolio around when needed which was fine but I wanted a work tote that wasn't as large as my Neverfull GM. Which I used to love as a tote-all when I lived in Chicago, took the el everywhere and carried around everything & the kitchen sink all day but now that I am back in Texas I don't need as voluminous a tote for everyday. Still love it for travel and beach days though!

Lv- Super cute outfit!!

 

[AmorNChanel]

So even though said I saw done this year, apparently Santa thought I needed another... DH went on his own and asked if they had a rhyder. How he remembered that is beyond me. I'll post a photo tomorrow of her. She's so cute and has a metallic finish. I kinda want to move into her right away!

Excited for you, Lou. Can't wait to see.

Bake- Your long champ is so cool with those patches. Your Alma is so elegant.
Lvk8- Your Cuyana pouch is very pretty as are your new slgs.
Louvigilante- How sweet of your Dh! Can't wait to see your new rhyder.
Amor- You are doing so well. You are a fantastic mother with all you do.
Vink-You can do anything you set your mind to.
Egg- I am so grateful to have found this thread long ago. Who knows how many bags I would have if not. I also enjoy all the wonderful virtual friendships we have made here over the years. So glad you started it all. I hope one day we can meet for real.

Thanks DC. Forgot to mention that I went to Madewells when shopping for DH and tried on their totes. They had 25% off everything but I was able to put it back. Loved the brown one, thought about you and put her back. I admit I had to run out asap before I broke down. Lol

Hi Amor! Nice of you to drop by, we miss you!! Glad to know you are keeping your ban. I think I'm not ready for a total ban, hopefully one day I'll get there.







Yeah, this MJ is just wonderful! And I'm so happy that I got this for a bargain!!



That was one nice trip you had!! Glad everybody enjoyed!





What a pleasant gift! It's lovely! And from your other posts, it really fits a lot!





I might get another All in One if I come across one that is a good deal, it is really wonderful! This is an SLG, right? I will not include SLGs in my 2016 resolution since it is one area where I've not yet gone crazy.







Your DH is so sweet! Would love to see a reveal.

Hi msd_bags! I must admit it's not my willpower. It's the fact I have been distracted. Miss you too!

Awesome outfit, Lvk8. I will have to scroll back and peek at your Goyard so I can drool over it. Burgundy sounds like a great color choice too. Congrats again!

Here's my mini rhyder DH picked up for me.

He said he remembered it because I saw singing slow rider when I mentioned the bag and it stuck in my head. Lol

 

[louvigilante]

It didn't load... Odd.

Thanks vink! I wish you and your family a wonderful new year!



Hi bake! Miss chatting with you. I hope Santa was good to you this year

Congrats on your new Herbag! I missed your reveal so I will check instagram. So awesome you found her[emoji106]

Good luck with your after Christmas shopping.



Nice Cuyana pouch. I totally want to check out their totes one day. I missed your Goyard reveal. I don't recall that bag so a belated congrats is in order [emoji106]



Beautiful alma! Love how you continue making your LC your own with patches.



I adore my Bal City. Glad she didn't sell and you rediscovered her again. Great 2016 resolution.



So happy you for you. Sounds like a terrific goal for next year. I feel the same too.

Thank you!

I just felt overwhelmed with how much stuff I had given away/ sold. Clothes, handbags, shoes, all of it. Crazy.

Plenty of Herbag pics on Instagram! Lol. Went photo happy on it since I got it.

Planning more places that have patches haha. Need more!

Bake- Your long champ is so cool with those patches. Your Alma is so elegant.
Lvk8- Your Cuyana pouch is very pretty as are your new slgs.

Thank you! Hope 2016 brings more patches to add!

So happy to see you use the jacket you bought! I really am happy seeing people use the things I've sold to them/given away. [emoji4] it's being used as opposed to being sadly hidden in my closet.

Isn't stylebook fun? Love making outfits.
If you can find stock photos online it makes it a lot easier to insert pics, but it's literally just a lot of sitting down and editing them.

Msd - I am more like you with clothes.

This is the shape I've been craving for! Your DH surely picked well. Enjoy this beauty!

 

[msd_bags]

I love love this bag, one of my RM MAM keepers, an older beauty made of thick luscious leather, but somehow I rarely use her.

As I was about to leave for work today (2 days of work and then another set of holidays for us), my Bal City seemed so monochromatic with my khaki pants. Had to chane quickly. I'm so happy with this choice and I'm glad to have used this before the year ended.

DC, this thread has turned into something that I wasn't expecting at all when I started it. Everyday when I check into tpf, it's like checking in with friends - it would be amazing if we were to be able to meet for real. We can make that a goal too =) That said, if any one is in Vegas January 12-15, I'm there!

I might get another All in One if I come across one that is a good deal, it is really wonderful! This is an SLG, right? I will not include SLGs in my 2016 resolution since it is one area where I've not yet gone crazy.

Is it a discontinued item? I don't know too much about MJ bags.. and that said, is it MbMj? Or MJ?

+1 I couldn't agree more!

I really hope we can meet up one day! That would be sooo fun.

Haha, I'm in London in March!
