Maybe that's why I haven't found one.
I had only seen two in over 2 years of searching. The sellers must have been as confused as me on the correct name. LOL! Thanks as always Vink. You're my Dior whisperer!!

Wow, that is quite a saga. I have asthma as well (although very low-level and under control with meds), and the info on the impact of corticosteroids on cell counts is interesting. Hopefully, everything will go back in balance for you, and all you’ll have to do is take an iron supplement and adjust your asthma meds. Keep us posted.
I also find that when life is handing me a really stressful challenge, I don’t switch bags as much, I just want to grab a bag that works and go on with it. In those times more than others, I want my bags to be stress free and just work for me.

Pairing my Dior with UGG Adirondack II serious boots because it is super slushy out there and mama ain’t got no time for not having cozy warm and dry feet.
Home all day today taking care of sick little. Poor thing. I only needed to get dressed this morning to take the littlest to daycare, she’s feeling fine and in the mood to clown around big time. Such a character, putting on a show constantly. Mostly physical comedy, because she’s 2 and she speaks in 2 languages but not so much enough to come up with knock knock jokes.
Her big 4 year old sister has a fever and is all snuggly and telling me over and over again that she loves me. Hope she gets well quick. I hate to see her missing out on the fun (she had plans this evening to have two best friends over, that got cancelled) but also, I need to study for my finals that I still have 3 left of!
Oh, I had a big one yesterday and I’m sure I aced it. Yay! The pressure was high to execute that one flawlessly since it was all math annd I’m the only one with a degree in math, in that class. It would be embarrassing if I messed it up.
I LOVE the color of this bag! What Dior model is this?
Hope you’re LO feels better soon!
@vink just shared that it's a New Lock!
Speaking of Dior, I've realized I really love (not this season) Diors. I want to add more to my collection but, prices on some preloved bags have seemed to increase. I'm looking for another Miss Dior in one of two particular colors and I haven't seen anything (in those colors or others) over the past 6 months at a price even close to what I paid for my three.
I've also noticed that there isn't any softness in the prices for the be Dior, Diorama or Diorever. Usually there are opportunities to get Diors at great discounts if I'm patient. But prices (while discounted) have been firm. I wonder why.
Yup it's the new lock in a size I've never seen before not even at the counter I bought it at, had to ask them to rummage in the back to find a big one!
It's 12" wide by 8" tall and 4" deep. The normal size of the new lock is significantly smaller.

I've just had a serious talk to Santa.

that's what i told Santa - get it now, before it's too late
whatever helps to get what you want
To me, that is just about the perfect size for a bag. Sometimes I want something a bit larger to carry more, but anything smaller and I start to have issues!
It’s dusk and still the same fever from early morning.
I guess tomorrow will also be a day nursing my girlie back to health, and the weekend will be furious cramming since today and tomorrow were earmarked for that, while I was supposed to be on my own. Oh well, all over in less than a week, all over in less than a week.
LOVE shopping my closet and wearing the oldest bag in there, the red Dior, but...need a reason to go out! This evening to the orchestra at the conservatory will do quite nicely although not a reason to dress up since it’s going to be all other parents dressed casually for inclement weather, so no need to bump up my look at all. But at least the Dior gets to go somewhere. I love it with my new camel second-hand wool/cashmere/angora full length coat. It’s crazy how the color makes my heart go pitter patter but yet.... it is a really difficult color to wear with my closet. This is the ONE outfit out of my 30 F/W outfits that this bag does not clash with, or actually there is a second one that I wore a terra cotta bag with that this would work with as well..but still 2 out of 30 is not terribly versatile. Why do so many of you consider red a neutral? I have a red wool coat I can only wear with two outfits out of 30, and my red bag can be worn with just 2. My black cherry bag can be worn with exactly 1-2 outfits out of 30. My terra cotta bag that is like a red brown, goes with 1-2 as well. I LOVE these leather colors, yet they just don’t find much ‘footing’ with my wardrobe.
When I feel the urge for port, oxblood, burgundy, sangria, whatever you want to call it, deep gorgeous red and purple reds and the like, I remember this and realize that the 3 I have in the red family are more than enough. My plum/pink has likewise similar limited functionality with my clothes. I wear that color all the time in various shades, which means that the bag is close but not quite to many of my tops, so not a great match. But there are 2 outfits it would go with. Out of 30. Darn.
I really do wonder how purple would work, but I suspect it would be a similar situation, but I have no purple bag. I suspect that the same situation would arise where there are a few situations where a colored bag could work, but I already am using the 4 bags mentioned above to go with those few outfits, and there are not any more opportunities left to warrant ANOTHER colorful bag. I keep thinking of tangerine as a delicious color to own, but then I remember my outfits don’t allow for very many statement bags and I have them already.
Beige, taupe, cognac, brown, navy, and reluctant-to-admit-it-boring-black are really the staples that look best with my peacock clothes. So boring but so true for me and my aesthetic tastes.
This is such an interesting question to me, and it is so personal, depending on one’s individual aesthetics and style. I keep hearing that red can be a neutral if your outfits are composed of primarily neutrals like black, gray, navy, tan and creme. But then, that’s how I dress (black, white, gray, navy) and I see red as a pop, not a neutral. It’s a primary color so in a way, it’s more neutral than, say, orange or green. I love what I call “jewel tone neutrals:” sapphire blue, royal blue, emerald green, and some reds (personally I don’t like orange reds).
So I guess it depends on your definition of the word “neutral.” If my wardrobe was comprised of more “peacock clothes” as you put it, I don’t think I could throw a red bag in the mix. But that’s me and I’m pretty boring!
Every day I thank the shopping gods that I actively dislike charms, am not motivated to buy SLG's, am very calm around shoes and am happy but measured when buying clothes. Otherwise, if I liked them as much as I do bags and jewelry, I'd be living in a box.
I’m the same way. I have never been into charms. I have a few, but don’t think to use them and when I do, I worry about them falling off the bag. SLGs are purely functional to me — I want ones that feel luxe, but they have to function. I have a small Chanel wallet that is perfect. Also a couple of card cases for when I want to downsize, but I always end up transferring back into the wallet. It has exactly the right number of card slots, I don’t have to fold my bills (pet peeve!) and the caviar leather (which I don’t love on bags but do love on this wallet) is both hardy and luxurious. And I hate switching wallets. I also have an LV pochette that is the perfect size and holds the extras, and so that goes from bag to bag as well. Basically, I am too lazy to switch both bags and SLGs, so the SLGs stay constant!
Thanks so much for showing the color so nicely. It’s a very beautiful color. If it were spring here, the temptation would be irresistible. Yoogis or Ann’s has a medium hobo in DR and the other has the Brick in that color. Both comfortably priced. But either bag would sit for the winter and that’s not a good thing. So I’ll hunt come Spring when I am always in a completely different color mood. Thanks again!
