Looks like too tight a squeeze. I think this would frustrate you. Maybe a deeper bag?
Once the new-bag love has faded, do you think this will keep you from wanting to carry this bag?
Somewhere out there is a person who would carry that bag. it could be kinda cool-looking . . .I have zero art skills. Anything I drew would look like a box with tentacles for a handle.
Did carrying it make you want to put it back in rotation?
Whew!You get as many years as you want to be 30, sweetie!!!
@dcooney4, I love the rooster!

Very good and accurate insight. I've been hunting bags for my overhauled / rebooted collection for 5 years now. So, I think I'm in a habit of hunting and getting happy (adrenaline then endorphins).
That was ok when I needed bags. But not now when I'm almost done with my main collection. I do have a short, specific list of bags I intend to buy in the next 2-3 years but they aren't priorities over the jewelry and clothes I plan to get. And I only have descriptors (i.e. Bordeaux workhorse satchel) not specific target bags. So I wander through too many sites with too many temptations. If only I had a money tree and didn't have to prioritize. 
I have my detailed jewelry list. And fine jewelry is the only thing I love more than bags. So I'll shift my focus to that which should keep me happily occupied while I try to figure out a clothing list. The first thing I'm hunting is my perfect casual diamond hoops. So when I get a bag search urge, I'll redirect to that...and keep acting like a lunatic and petting the bags I have. LOL!
I love the blue on this msd_bags! Charms work well. I only know the longchamps fabric bags..this leather I like. Is it heavy!
Wow vink. How long have you been keeping a wardrobe journal? I am impressed!
Gulp. HopelessBagGirl Love this bag! I really like blue bags for some reason. Strangely, I don't have many..go figure
Well the tassel is cute nonetheless! It appears that bakeacookie is quite the wise one!
Here she is, my ban breaker! 2012 in Lagoon, in mint condition with all cards and tags
Holy guacamole...another blue bag. Heaven help me! I Like this north south style ksuromax
Nice tassels! I think it adds so much to a bag. Who makes these? I think i am allowed these ..is this considered an SLG? Even if it were, did i commit to an SLG ban?
Great news! Evidently my grey Chanel didn't need long / much effort to touch up. Leather Surgeons just sent me the invoice and it will ship back to me tomorrow. 
I was hopeful it wouldn't need much work. The structure and leather were perfect and there was no scuffing or scratches to the hardware. It just had the weird scuffs on the top of the bag (how the heck do you scuff the top of a bag??) that were worrisome.
I see me getting a LOT of use out of this bag! I'll post photos when she arrives. Ohmigoodness, I can't wait!

Mmm great bracelet collection missie1! Which style do you like best? I really like the one with the 3 slots..can't recall its name..kelly dog? I would like a black with gold hardware. It is an arm statement though. Im not sure how to dress with it.
I have a bad case of the "wants" today. I've been puttering around my usual online shopping haunts with nothing resembling good intentions.
What makes it even kookier for me to have bag cravings is that this year isn't about handbags for me. My 2017 wardrobe focuses are 1) adding to and upgrading my clothing 2) adding three more pieces of fine jewelry to my collection. This is not the year of handbags.
So I'm fighting the craving. I dragged myself off the shopping sites and touched / looked at my bags to remind myself how happy I am with what I have. Then I rooted around in my closet and storage area for more things to list and sell.I'm hoping this will cool my jets a bit.
Have any of you ever awakened with an out of the blue "I wanna buy something pretty for me" mood? Please help me stay on hard pause.
Well sparlkletastic I have to admit...i am no help. I can barely be of help to myself..hence here I am on the discipline thread. So ..well..um.. hang in there. (Psst...Did you find something really pretty?
