I am plunging back into this thread (and the forum) after a messy 2016. In 2016, I switched jobs and moved and developed some complicated medical issues relating to my spine. I bought way too many purses in 2016 and want to go through my collection and get rid of the purses and SLGs that really do not work for me. This will be a bit tricky as I am still in the process of moving and I do not have all of my purses and SLGs in my current location. But, I am hopefully going to finish moving soon and then I can really focus and figure out what is staying in my collection and what I still want to add. So, I am going to try and develop my goals throughout the month of January.

For the first and second day in January, I've been carrying my Shinola Relaxed Hobo in Navy, which I love and has been a great addition to my collection.

Looking forward to a great 2017!

So sorry to hear about your spinal issues, lvdreamer. I've had low back problems in the back, and I know it is no fun AT ALL.
Are you better now, or is the problem ongoing?

Bag #2 for 15 in 31. Marc Jacobs 1984 in Terra Cotta. See the handle imprint on the leather? Just goes to show she's been in storage for some time! I really feel special when I wear this bag, I don't know why I rarely choose it though. Maybe I used it just 2x in 2016. She's not even broken in yet (got it preloved in excellent condition).

Hoping you well both health wise and bag wise.

I have not posted much the past few days since I was just on my phone app. I don't type much when not on desktop (office). Sometimes at home I am tired to access using my laptop. I was on vacation since a few days after Christmas. In my country, work days leading to Christmas are practically useless official business wise. More so after Christmas and before New Year. December 30 and January 1 are holidays here so December 31 also usually is declared a holiday. And this year, January 2 also was a holiday to give time to people to travel back to wherever since holidays are normally spent out of town/in home provinces.

So again, welcome to all new ladies joining this thread this year!

Great to "see you" again, lvdreamer! Sorry to hear that 2016 wasn't the best for you and that you had medical/spine issues.

Hoping that 2017 is better.

Love this. I actually have been searching for this in a burgundy or grey. So pretty.

Ok. I kept my promise. I listed 3 bags and 2 pieces of costume jewelry on 4 different sites. :annoyed: (Nothing was expensive enough for Vestiare)

So listing totals so far: 7 handbags, 1 wallet and 2 costume items.

Tomorrow my goal is to list the watch, 3 pair of sunnies and 2 more bags. Then Wed, the remaining 4 bags. That way all my purgatory bags, all the sunnies and some extras will be listed. I'll work on the furs, some of the clothes and the rest of the jewelry when I get back. I'm writing this down in my Evernote so I remember. :doh:

This is awful. This punishment is making me really committed to ONLY buying what I will keep. I hate this. :yucky:
