Bag for the holiday weekend. I wanted to change to my Herbag again but this will do much better for my adventures. Today was museums and a bit of shopping (I bought shoes to replace a pair I’m retiring).

Thanks Bake! They look beautiful. Nice idea of stamping Chinese zodiacs from them to bring more uniqueness.

You've a lovely collection of bears. It seems they are out phasing the classics and replaced them with stapped version. Good you managed to catch so many "sane" bears. :smile:

@hbg-
Yes, that's an AMAZING system!!! I wish I could do something like that, but coordinate specific clothing with what I'm doing that day, so not sure how I could adapt something like that. Plus, I use those drop-down closet drawers, so it's not as clear with the left-right thing...:confused1: And what exactly does Stylebook do? I just can't wrap my head around it.

Okay so stylebook is an app you use to create outfits by photographing each individual item. You can use stock photos as well which is easier. But I just put on the outfit and photo myself in it and don’t plan to mix up which items coordinate with which that often. Well it’s not entirely true. The skinny jeans and stretchy pants of different variety are twenty of the same basic comfy pant in very dark blue and black so they get pretty easily swapped around.
Here’s how I deal with exceptions. If my day or my bloat does not agree with the outfit that I see is next in the queue, I just look at the next five or so on the hanger and choose one of those. Easy peasy. I don’t care if my order gets reshuffled, the order is not important.
 
View attachment 3889200 What I carried on Thanksgiving Day. Dior again; this time the Delices. Not really a tote, although in a pinch, I can fit a file folder. I must be a gray person...love Dior gray, this one has a lavender undertone.

You are killing me. That is the exact bag (in any color although I have only seen it in that and black) I’ve come close to buying preloved because I have loved it, it has screamed at me since I first saw it. I have hemmed and hawed over it for my entire year and a half on TPF and I ended up every time feeling like I could get two non-premier new bags for the same price as that preloved bag, and you know what? In the end, looking back a year after the last time I gave it a lot of thought, I really should have skipped even 3 of the non-premier purchases and just get that bag because I love it so.
You live, you learn . Hey at least can I sign up first in line if you ever rehome it, you message me first? I’m sure that day will be so far in the future if ever, I won’t be banning then! Or I’ll break ban!

I'm somewhat glad I pulled the trigger on the Mulberry bag I have been wanting for some time. If not, I would have bought something from the sales (which will be filler(s)) and then delay purchase of the bag I really want and then eventually buy it. I have so many other expenses this period so I should manage funds really well.

I just said in the Ban Island thread that I might head there. We'll see.

I hope you love your new bag when it arrives. I had a bag in my shopping cart online when I realized that I now have a small black tote already that doesn't go on my shoulder . I had gotten the dooney at a great price a while ago but it is nicer then some of the more expensive bags I was eyeing. So I removed the bag from the cart.

Yay! I think we are really getting more introspective of our (potential) purchases vis-a-vis our current collection. [emoji3]

Kisses to @tenKrat who is the loveliest kama’aina + TPF friend in the world and finally succumbed to all my Jedi mind tricks to get her to send this purse back overseas so I could wear it with my dark brown boots with dark gunmetal hardware on the corset details there on the sides, and be all matchy matchy ridiculous. I’m in seventh heaven now. Thank you!!!!!
Showing my style with my new-to-me MM aura in dark chocolate merinos and dark gunmetal hardware, my first in this style and I really love how it is small but holds my ipad + essentials. My favorite DVF green python print wrap shirt and diesel skinzee jeans with my fave tod’s boots and beloved thrift store find Erich Fend terra cotta wool coat. My mom made the gorgeous emerald colorway wool scarf keeping me so cozy up around my neck and décolleté.

THanks!
Do you guys remember about a dozen years ago when dark chocolate brown was super super en vogue and everyone was saying how it’s ‘the new black’ and their new #1 favorite neutral to stock up on, etc.... I don’t think that lasted very long, and I don’t think it has had quite the moment as it did back then when I was pushing my teen and tween in a double stroller when they were babe&toddler age. I bought this full length toscana shearling coat in dark chocolate and these Michael Kors wedge shearling knee high boots in dark brown....but not much in terms of clothes I don’t think. Anyways, I still adore the dark chocolate long coat but wonder why the color itself had such a short lived moment, and then has not been favored by the fashion trends since. I LOVE IT. Plus dark taupe which can look sometimes very close to the same when I wear the colors together, they are near enough as to ‘match.’
I guess black is really king. And I see a lot of grey love.
