I can't find my Red shot from last year. I guess I missed that week coz I was traveling and forgot to follow up. (I'm pretty sure I took it, but after a while, I just couldn't find it.) That could also be the reason I don't have it saved on my mobile.

Reading through that old thread is like going through the diary and I miss many of the old pocket friends that are no longer here. I hope they're happy and healthy out there in the real world.

Anyway, here're my Reds for this year. Only missing that one Prada mini bag. One good thing, I found my old Coach Hampton Demi pouch, which I'm sure wasn't in the shot from last year. (Yeah... turn out, I misplace my stuff way too often. [emoji28])

And this is the missing Prada. The shot is from last year's "mini bag" week. I'm sure if we're doing this again this year, you'll see that this category of mine sure grows tremendously. [emoji4]

I know! That's why I usually assign a place to keep my bags, but this one get moved a lot coz I try to find the opportunity to use it. Between my house and the condo, I know it's there somewhere, just don't know where.

I hope you find your ring! I'm sure I'd be out of my mind if it's were jewelry. [emoji37]

I donno if you do the same, but sometimes when i travel i pack a smaller bag into a bigger bag to a) save the space and b) help the bigger one to keep the shape and not get too squeezed, do you think you could have put one into another???

Thank you. [emoji4] It's a red from 09(A?) I believe that this red was made exclusively for the USA market only. I couldn't when I got a hold of her, either. [emoji4]

Wow, so much discussion going on. I can't participate more actively but what I shall do is to post my red bags before red color week is over. :sweatdrop:

I bought more than these 3, but one is too mini and I no longer use it. Another has been given to my mother (an oxblood bucket bag).

MZW small Sutton in papaya, Mulberry SBS in oxblood and Chloe Marcie in tulip red (a bit difficult to capture the actual color)

Gorgeous and versatile range of reds!

View attachment 3629285 Hi again, I had a heavy week so I'm just getting my red bags up. Here they are from top left: my much loved Tod's double zip tote, my primary fall/winter work bag; the Coccinelle that I carried back from Sicily; a little Coach from 2013; and a perfectly flat Coach that I roll up tight for travel. If, in 2017, I found a red bag that really called to me, I would switch out any except the Tod's. I'm not terribly bonded and one should be bonded with a RED bag, I think ...

Your Tod's double zip tote is gorgeous!

this is my combo of the day
OS Alexa by Mulberry plus BV flats and scarf and Bal Giant studs bracelet
haven't worn this beauty for a good while, almost forgot how great she looks and wears.... very appropriate for the Spring mood :flowers:
one small side note: for me "shopping my closet" has become a good lesson of coordination of my accessories, and i am at the moment a bit more focused on filling up the gaps in this part of my closet rather than bags, a small new accessory can bring fresh breath to an old bag or spice up a boring, plain outfit and by spending a little on the accessory i am saving big on NOT getting another "better matching" bag....
and i am looking at you, Misses Enablers-2017 @papertiger @ElainePG and @msd_bags it's all your fault!! my first H scarf is on its way to me.... :D :angel:

I've just been enabled myself!! [emoji7] lol! And I'm enjoying it. [emoji6]

It looks great with your bag, and I like the way you tied it. You really don't need to be fancy with such a pop-of-color scarf... just a simple bias fold, as you did, and then a little loop is perfect. :smile:

Thanks!! Coming from you, I'm happy I did good in styling it. [emoji4]

While I went through last year's thread, I found #NeverWearWednesday project. Should we revive that project?

I was in #NeverWearSaturday during the time.

Nice reds, Vink. You know I love Chanel and yours is very nice.

I can see how the Prada would be an issue. Sometimes my problem isn't width x length, it's depth. I was just thinking I need depth of 3" on the smaller bags. 2" just doesn't do it because it's harder to have 2 rows of items.

I can't believe I forgot about #NWW & #NWS! How about we start them in April? I really enjoyed those. And I also agree that looking for my old photo caused me to remember old forum friends that don't come around anymore. I hope they are well and we see them again soon. :smile:

I'm loving all the burgundy / wine / bordeaux bags that we're seeing this week! :clap:

I just put in a best offer for a burgundy workhorse. I have been wanting a certain bag but keep talking myself out of it.

Anyway, I don't think I'll get this one as the asking is way too high for this model and my offer was just under market value. But we'll see. I'll share more details if I win. Wish me luck! :biggrin:

Vink - do you have a list of your bags? Maybe it would be good to keep a list on your phone and always note where you put a bag after you use it. That way you won't have to look for them in both residences. You'll know exactly where you put them. :smile:
