I did not think I'd be able to complete the challenge this week...lol! It was not easy but I did it 
I definitely need daily variety. I was getting tired of the same color everyday. I like having black bags but I enjoy color. Good thing about the week's challenge is that I decided to use my one and only Chanel tote. It's my first one and it's 9 years old now
. I still love it but use it very rarely because I dont carry much these days. I took a pic of what is in it...lol! It just lines the bottom of the bag Oh well, I actually enjoyed using the bag today.

So I finished the first week of the February challenge for one-color all week. I chose black because I like to switch out my bag frequently and black is the only color in my collection I have that would allow me to change bags as often as I like.
I learned I really do need variety in my bag collection. Wearing one color felt really constrictive, and I had a tough time putting together outfits I liked. That said, it did really help me with getting out of my comfort zone to try new combinations and pairings I might not otherwise attempt. It also taught me a lot about how I usually like to put together my outfit, which I might not have been able to articulate before.
I will need to consider if I want to participate in other challenges that limit my options. For this one, I kept thinking I needed other items in my closet if I was going to pull this off on a regular basis, and I don't want to create artificial gaps on my shopping list.
Here's everything I wore in black this week:

I fell short of completing this week's challenge. I managed to carry a purple bag for 5 consecutive days (4 in my eggplant Coach and 1 in my mauve RM) and then I got bored and switched into orange and black. So... I think I am not very good at keeping to one color.
For next week I was planning on RM but it's snowing a lot lately and in such weather I don't want to carry my colorful bags. I think maybe I will go with Fossil instead.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggled with one color, but purple would be a tough one anyway!

Very nice bh4me you have a nice range of black bags. I really like that all black reissue. Not typically seen; is it a patent or a metallic finish? ( I tried to zoom in on your Panarea to spy on your handles - they seem in good shape...knock on wood!)

AnnabelLee That's an unusual Chanel (1/2 classic quilt, 1/2 chevron). Very nice! What are the two black ones on the right? The square quilt and the one with round front & gold clasp?
Your Dora is an amazing blue, love the strap, too!
Gorgeous black bag family! I love black bags, especially your reissues!I did not think I'd be able to complete the challenge this week...lol! It was not easy but I did it

So so lovely! My one brand for Week 2 will be Bottega Veneta, btw.Here we go towards Week 2 The Hobos (one style) and these are my bags for the next week
Ha! I use it with my jonquille Alma BB.Love this blue bag and the strap! I have the same strap. I use it with my alma bb blueberry
That's just Wow! I love the Dora. Kind of want to pinch myself a bit for not getting it. You pair it beautifully with that strap. The colors are so good together. [emoji7]
I swap the weeks (2 and 3) as i want to wear my red hobo on 14th, so i am doing "one style" as week 2 and "one brand" will come next. But my "one style" will be "one brand" at the same time, lol
Looking forward to see your lovely BVs
