Hello! Happy belated Birthday! Can’t wait to see what you kept.Happy belated Bday @Sparkletastic ! My bday was on Monday (the 11th). Growing up December birthdays were pretty rough when we always got shafted on the presents so I always feel a bond toward other December babies
Oh, and I've literally been lurking and reading this thread for what seems like a week now, trying to catch up. I feel like I know you all now (not creepy at all...).
I plan to join the ban in the New Year with bags though I have yet to decide the amount of time and from when. I have already started a clothes ban from Today to April 13th and this is specifically towards online clothing purchases.
I live on an island, so while we do have some nice stores here, I order everything online. And because I'm in Canada and it can be so expensive to return or exchange (plus the duties will kill you), I have way too many clothes in my closet that I don't like or don't even fit right. And then I keep adding and now I have so much stuff that I order more stuff because I don't remember what I have
Anyway, long story short, because my husband and I (and pooch) are heading down to California and Hawaii after Xmas until about Feb or March, I've decided I'll only buy clothes in person. Like at an actual store! So, no online shopping at all from now to April will ensure that whatever I do buy I have tried it on in the store and know I'm getting something that's good and I'll use.
As for purses...I think my ban will commence from February 27th (after I get back from London) to May 27th (before I go to Rome). That way I can get a nice bag in London and Rome if I wish but the period between I won't buy any, online or otherwise.
But I'm still deciding. Say a prayer for me that I don't go on a bag-buying frenzy between now and end of Feb!
Hope you guys are all wellI really love reading all of your posts as it's really made me look at my collection. I've recently sold a LOT so I feel like my collection has been downsized to the point where it feels like I'm missing things (my last sales were my black and white chev medium Gucci Marmont, a black with ghw metalasse YSL college/envelope bag, a YSL large college bag in grey and my teal *sobs fave color ever* Gucci velvet marmont mini). I work from home and don't leave the house much so I don't get to use my bags unless I'm traveling for events, so I really have to look at the functions of my bags differently.
I'm rambling, sorry. But I'm excited to finally say hi!
So darn cute!Mulberry!

That’ll be my bag till next week. I’m surprised I make it to work dressed appropriately considering how tired I am. Stupid cold.
@ksuromax, I can do one better. How ‘bout I show you one of your absolute faves...? [emoji6]
Here’s the Bottega Veneta handbag I recently bought on sale (not a Christmas gift, but a “just because”). She’s the last bag purchase of the year for me. She arrived last evening.

This cracks me up because it can happen. Today I went to drop another bag at the consignment shop. Her display was so beautiful and I was eyeing some of the bags till I realized a lot of them were mine. Lol Well if they don’t sell it won’t be to upset. Though one bag I truly want gone so I told her she can drop the price.Sometimes this little method can backfire on me. Like right now for instance. I was going through some old pics on my IPad and I came across one of me with a Coach bag that I know is DOOMED and of course I thought, “That’s a nice bag. It does no harm ... and so easily wearable.” Now I’m thinking of moving it back into the closet. Woe is me ... it might just get a reprieve,
