Ksuromax & Dc, thanks for your input. I'm leaning towards yes. I know I've wanted it, it's on my unicorn list, it's at a great price and I can afford it. I also know I'll use it. I'm trying to let some time pass though to make sure it's the right thing to do. Maybe I'll sleep on it and look at things fresh in the morning. :whut:

Yay! :smile: And don't feel bad about the outlet price. The two different leathers make them two different bags. By cross hatch do you mean the leather treatment similar to saffiano?

I'm totally in! :tup: The weather will make it a fun challenge - I won't want to wear more delicate bags and I won't be going out as much in the evening necessitating a "costume change". So, I'll have to be super creative. But I won't be traveling as much so I think it's doable. I really want and need to make sure I keep using all my bags. It will also force me to rotate my clothes too. LOL!

I was going to post both challenges (that and the 3 in 30 challenge) in in the 2017 thread.
Yes, the other bag was a kind of saffiano. I prefer pebbled leather. I'm glad you are going to post the challenge . I was hoping you would for all the new people who might want to join in.

I'm not a fan of "kind of saffiano" at all. I only like Prada Saffiano and having 3 of those I don't even want any more of it. I'll be soooo glad when this trend I over and we can go back to great traditional leathers like pebbled, saddle, etc. This is one reason it's hard for me to buy contemporary right now. Too many bags are Sorta-Saffiano and not just good, quality leather with indestructible construction.

Can I have just a minute to whine and cry once again for the Coach leathers of old. The leather on those bags were truly amazing - especially for the price point.
 
Oh dear.

My December tally is out of control.


I think DBF got me something in duty free. I believe it's an SLG. [emoji85]

So excited!! I can't wait to open everything in a week!!!


Anyone else know they have bags and SLGs under the tree? I know some mentioned they do!!
I don't know what my December tally will be yet. I counted last month the ones dh is giving me because I picked them. Everyone in my family knows I love bags so I guess I will see on the big day. You are not alone.
 
Yippee, yippee, YAHOO! My LV LockMe II BB just came in! :yahoo:

I am in LOVE with this bag! The leather is amazing and I adore the chain. Swoon!:hbeat:

It will happily replace my worn out MK mini Hamiton as my small run around bag. This is my first LV bag but I don't think it will be my last. :graucho:

And I forgot to share a pic of the Gucci drop Hoops I bought. I adore the little horsebit accents.:love:
Love your LV Lockme II!! Congrats!!

Thank Liz [emoji173]

Confession I'm feeling regret now. The "high" and excitement is over. I put in my usual stuff and the bag feels heavy [emoji33] I'll probably sell it locally [emoji29] I need to remember the more I buy the more headache I'll face.
Oh no! This has happened to me several times too. Maybe you can still give it a chance? It's a beautiful bag. So, is it the weight that is the only issue?

I'm having a moment. :whut:

One of my super hard to find / unicorn / jackalope almost holy grail bags is available for less than I've seen at any time. I had told myself that if I ever found it I was buying ban or no ban. But I really don't want to buy another bag right now!

But, honestly, I may never see this bag again.

What to do???:panic:
I think you should get it if financial position allows it. You might regret it for a long time if you don't!

I am glad I ordered my tote yesterday. Now with with friends and family over it is full price again. I am really looking forward to a midsize tote. I could have gotten something similar at the outlet for almost half of my sale price but I prefer pebbled leather to crosshatch leather. Glad I stuck to my guns and waited. Now I hope they ship fast.
Can't wait to see your tote too!! As you know, I am also not a fan of saffiano/crosshatch leather. Btw, once I ordered a Furla tote in crosshatched leather for a friend. I was really not pleased when I got it. Good thing my friend liked it. My 2 Furla totes now are non-crosshatch.

Is anyone one else going to do the 15 bags in 30 with me in January? Are some of you still going to do the 3 in 30 again?
I'm in for the 15 in 31 in January! As I mentioned a few days ago, I'm actually silently doing it this December since I set up my list. I'm in bag 13 to date!! I realized that when I go to evening mass on Saturdays (not always, usually Sundays), I use 2 bags for that day. I change to a small bag for church.
 
Just to clarify the game for Jan'17 what if the gal has less than 15 bags? Does it mean she just need to use all the bags she has to be part of the 15 out of 31 challenge? [emoji5]

Hi ladies,

How I have missed my pocket friends....between insane work projects and DH wanting attention, I have not had anytime to chat. I am so far behind that I can't even try to catch up...I am just jumping back in like I never left haha. What's this new 2017 challenge or goal that we are doing. I'm definitely in.
