By the way, I am licking my wounds of disappointment and bought a bag I have had my eye on for 7 years. It is preloved in my price range and I am so glad to get it, as this bag has been in the back of my mind as the only fendi that has ever been SO my style, and I've never gotten over it. Now I don't have to.
Thought it would be interesting to tell you guys about it because I have read so much anti brown bag sentiment on here. So many of you are so over brown bags or never liked them or are just starting to tolerate them after never liking them, and blah blah blah. Whereas I LOVE earth toned and natural toned leather. Especially lighter tones, but not super light like white or ivory because that's just scary. But I like a pretty beige and tan in spring and summer.. Even year round. So here is the bag I bought today.
Reminds me of the pilot episode of Friends when Rachel is licking her wounds about not getting a job by buying new boots. She calls them her, 'I don't need a job because I have these new boots' boots, or something to that effect. I guess this bag is my shopping therapy as well. But I really don't feel any qualms or doubts about it and after seven years of it being 'one that got away' and a bag I always wanted, now it will be a forever bag in my collection. I'm sure. That feeling is rare! Plus I am getting an 80% discount from retail for being such a patient little puppy for all these years and waiting for it to be in my price range, preloved. Yay. No almost bag for me, this is the only fendi that has ever sung the true siren song to me but budget stood in the way. Now I will get her! And all my favorite beiges and tans in there, in a lovely subtle colorblock making her match very many of my shoes, boots, jackets, and coats.

I usually restrict bracelets to my non work life.
