Still on the blue color challenge. And cute that this morning a colleague approached me with some twilly and charms for sale. So I got this white fur ball. Immediately it got slung on my Longchamp Cuir.

I like your new charm! Very cute! (I'm very into fur ball lately, too. I feel it's kinda therapeutic when I just rub it against my palm. I think I'm getting weird. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23])
 
I read through my old journals and go through lists of stuff last week. I find something interesting I never notice before about myself.

I thought I can wear one bag on and on for a month or more. Apparently not!

According to my journals, the longest I can do is, indeed, a month, but I usually switch bag after 3 weeks of wearing, regardless of switching out for weekends or not. And if I switch bags during weekend, it seems like I can go on with the same bag a little bit longer, but not longer than 5 weeks.

This is something interesting about myself I just found out.

Have you ever go through your old diary or journals and find something new about yourself? Or do you keep a diary or journal at all?
 
The journal discovery makes me think twice about myself and the bag coz I was intended to wear my Dark Taupe Aura for this whole month. I think it's quite sensible and should be easy. But at the end of last week, I got restless. I want to switch bags and I'm trying to resist. I think I'm trying to justify myself a bit being a spoiled person that I am. [emoji16] But I kinda really want to.

I almost went through the first week with only one bag and I seriously want to switch out. I can use my other brown bag just for tomorrow to complete the challenge or can just keep using it. Arg... I need my bag closet here.
 
Oh.... I love the leather on this bag! I heard good things about the Vitello Daino, but I also heard many things about Prada that worry me. That's why I never pull the trigger. Your bag looks really really good. I wish I could touch that leather.
i personally don't like saffiano, thus don't own any, and can't comment on it (heard very mixed reviews) but i have a few in calfskin, smooth and grainy, and cannot say anything negative about it, very soft, durable, good looking and fab quality bags!!
P.S. if you ever decide to give it a try, i recommend you to look at these 2 types of calfskin!

And belated answer to Spark's question.

I think I got my style mainly from a handbook on how to dress yourself according to your shape combine with my own comfort with a splash of magazines.

I learn early on that I can't find clothes here in this country that fits me right. I'm always too big/chubby/curvy for the local brands. (Thank god for the globalization and Zara, UNIQLO, and the gang. I love you. Otherwise, I just need to rely on tailors 24/7) Everyone will be size 2-6 and I'll always be size 8-12 and no store will have clothes for my size. And the style that's popular with the majority of people isn't what I like or what makes me look best. So, I read a lot about how to dress to suit my body, plus, since my mom often left me with her magazines and I love reading, those fashion spreads are one of teachers I learn from.

And when I actually dress, comfort is the key priority. I know I should wear heels. But my feet love sneakers and flats so I choose to spoil my feet and ignore the book. ;) I should wear tailor pants, but I love my elastic pants lately and just bought a dozen from UNIQLO which I swear I'll wear them out.

Like I said, I may know a thing or two, but I usually end up listen to my heart or just spoil it to death. [emoji16]

I say return. But take my opinion with a grain of sale. I'm really on the warpath about bags that aren't functional and easy to wear. I'm irritated from yesterday when my medium flap wasn't working with my stuff. It and my LV LockMe II are my smallest bags and they should be glad they are so flipping adorable. I don't like having to compromise with what I want to take in a bag. I'm actually looking at larger than my normal bags for my workhorses.
Spark,

My Sissy came over last night and said to keep it. I showed her how the Epi could hardly fit. She said you only vackay with me or my BIL so one of use will just carry the Epi pen. I don't know about that.

Eh...I don't know about that either. I really feel our bags should hold our essentials. An Epie pen is an essential. If it held everything, you'd be more likely to wear this while not vacationing. I just think this will get in your nerves. There are too many GREAT bags out there to ever settle.
