Happy birthday Elaine!
We are phone twins now that I finally got my phone upgrade and now I'm just waiting for a couple days for my LifeProof frē waterproof shockproof case to get here so I can relax about my phone. It is SO SLIPPERY!!!

Oh, I'm so glad your phone finally arrived. Yes, I have one of those cases for the back of my phone too. I never used one before, but with the all-glass case I really thought I should protect it from slipping out of my hand, especially in old weather. Enjoy the new phone... you are going to LOVE the camera! :smile:

So I'm giving the hairy eyeball to @HopelessBagGirl who prophesied that my trusty 6s wouldn't last. All of a sudden it's painfully slow. Even though I refused to update to the latest software. :annoyed:

I am NOT buying a new phone (or anything else) after buying a house, 11 bags and a car this year. At some point ya gotta say NO! I'm getting out tin cans and string.

I was reading an article about slow-downs in older iPhones, spark, and it sounds as though the problem is maybe the battery. Replacing the battery properly, at the Apple store, costs about $50 - $70. Buying an entirely new phones costs... well... you know the numbers.
So it might be worth a phone call to check and see if a battery replacement would fix the problem.

I had my iPhone 6's battery changed middle of this year after 22 months with me. Here it cost me about $100 including diagnostic fee at an Apple authorized service center.

That's worth a try. I just don't want to spend $1000 on a phone. :whut:

That clutch sounds adorable, do you have a picture of it?

And yes, it would be totally sensible! One of the things I think about though, is if you have that $34 clutch in your closet along with, say, a Chanel, and you choose to wear the clutch over the Chanel, does that make you feel guilty about not wearing the more expensive bag? I struggle with this sometimes because given how much money these bags cost, I want to make sure I’m getting good use out of them and using them is a sign to me that they were worth the money. Totally first world problems, I know! :panic:

I'm carrying a very sparkly Marc Jacobs red sequined bag that I got via TheRealReal in 2015. A tPF friend pointed me towards it; it was a runway bag in S/S13, eye-wateringly expensive, but was listed at something like 95% off on TheRealReal so I simply HAD to pop for it! It's called the Tweed Girls Mae, and it's a red, cream, and black sequined plaid that is perfect to wear this month.
The outside is fabric. Inside, it's fully lined in leather. The strap can be worn either doubled as a short shoulder strap, or long as a cross-body. Actually, it is one of my favorites, but I only wear it in December and on Valentine's day, because of the "sparkle" factor. :giggle:
I haven't had a chance to photograph it, but here's the image from the web site:
