I changed my outfit because, brrr, it is quite chilly when I did some Christmas shopping this morning. So I changed into warmer clothes, jeans and my favorite leopard piece, a tailored wool/acrylic jacket with black elbow patches and pleating in the back that makes it flare out a little. So, I also had to change my bag. Back to the Zhoe with that awesome Coach strap.

I like the tailoring of your jacket. Plus, now that I’m older, I like the fluffy furry jacket. I reminds me of dolls or petting animals. [emoji28] I’m actually debating getting a faux fur jacket. (I know it’s crazy. I don’t need it living in tropical, but I have an excuse of traveling very often. But then again. I’m chubby. I look like a bear myself in that fluffy furry jacket. [emoji28] And it’s too much of a piece I’ll wear to bed. So, it doesn’t make sense, but my heart is throwing a tantrum and pouting right now.) Reading about your jacket description makes me smile. [emoji4]
 
A day later than I planned, but here are some photos of my new BV Chain Tote! Yesterday was gray and snowy and it was too dark to take any good photos. Thank goodness the days are going to start getting longer now — here in New England, the sun has been setting so early it’s dark at 4:30 pm! There was some sunshine today, however, so better for taking pics.

Between the comfy shoulder straps and the interior organization, I expect I’ll be using this one a lot! No mod shots yet as I spent the day in my sweats.

lol, there is nothing quite like a completely impractical item to make the heart throw a tantrum and pout!

That's a really cute jacket, and it looks perfect with your Zhoe bag.

If I could get the same money back, probably my Lady Dior. While I love it, it is not a bag I am ready to carry at this stage of my life, so at most, it comes out once or twice a year. My justification to myself was that prices would keep going up... but now I worry about it growing mold and think I probably should have kept it as an aspirational HG. I don’t want to sell it now that I have it though.
The Lady Dior is such a classic that I belive you can hold on to it.

Such a pretty bag, MSD.
How do you feel about owning a bag that's only arm-carry? Or does it also have a strap?
I only use long strap for emergencies and quick situations. So this has not been a must in my specifications. But that being said, I still appreciate a bag having one. This Gucci doesn't have a long strap. But for emergencies, the handles fit over my shoulders so it's okay. Not for prolonged use this way though as I don't feel comfortable with the look.
I'm a little befuddled and oddly frustrated. I've let myself off ban but I don't see anything I want. :-s

Well, let me restate. I see things I want. I just don't see anything that's a good add to my collection because I'm trying to stay super conscious of not cannabalizing wear. :huh:
Fate really sometimes plays with us, lol. But I see in your later post that you may have found a red Chanel. Just one question though, are you not settling with getting a double flap?

Love this tote! :heart: Congrats to you! :flowers: I'm a bit envious as this would work for my needs too, but I won't be able to afford it full price. :sad:

Today’s pick when I shopped my closet this morning, Bottega Veneta cervo loop hobo (large size) in New Light Grey.

The only large bags that I will buy from now on are hobos. My favorite bag shape is actually the structured satchel (as well as the softer satchel), but hobos definitely have a place in my life for times I dress casually. BV hobos are so fun to wear!

Great OOTD, I love the overall look!

Pretty Sukey!

Another fabulous outfit. I like that jacket! The Coach strap looks great on your bag.

Congratulations on your BV tote - it looks awesome!
 
Layover in the airport. :-s Please tell me what sense it makes to fly from Nassau to Baltimore to Dallas. :annoyed:

I think I may have found a red lamb Chanel to replace my red caviar. It's double flap which isn't perfect since I prefer single flap. But the color may actually be better for me. And the price is great.

I need to do a little more recon. Wish me luck. It would be great to find something now and be able to sell the red bag I have during Valentine's Day season.

Wow, that was fast — I thought it would take much longer for you to find the right red lamb Chanel. Do you mind double flaps that much? I’ve never had a single flap, so I guess I’m just used to dealing with the “extra” flap. Still, don’t compromise if it will annoy you!

Oh... no... [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] I hope not! [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33] Frenzy isn’t healthy. [emoji28] Plus, I find myself enjoying simple totes more and more. What I already have are more than plenty to fit the bill. That’s what I’m feeling now.

That’s good!

Frenzied shopping isn’t healthy but it happens. Just have to figure out how to handle the urges when they come. [emoji4]

Yum yum. I love the way BV weaving looks in black. It has a lovely sheen. Congratulations!
