I'm still on a mini vacation and wanted to drop in to say I'm still looking for a few minutes a da for my black bags. LOL!

I did, however, find and buy a bag. :biggrin: It's an "opportunity" bag meaning it's a bag I LOVE and will wear but it doesn't fill a specific need. I'm thrilled. I'll share when it gets in and is authenticated. Happy Dance :yahoo:

Still looking for the three black bags, however. :whut:

Dc - good luck with tote shopping I find that to be the hardest of all.

My bag for today is another favorite. My Saint Laurent shopping tote.

Here's a short story. I was first attracted to her because of the price. It was relatively cheap for the brand. But as you know, I don't like to spend on totes. I browsed online looking for deals. Some European sites carry her at even more attractive prices and would come out cheaper than retail even with our customs and taxes. I kept looking, maybe a span of 6 months or so. Then I went to the boutique and tried it. I thought I could set the wanting aside since anyway it was a simple tote and I found it big for my taste at that time. I even declared that in last year's thread - that I'm over it.

Then somehow it crept back into my consciousness, but I still tried to deny it. I even ignored the free delivery and the signing coupon I got from matchesfashion.com. But months later, I still wanted the tote, especially when I went back to the boutique and the dark blue color I wanted was there and I was able to try it. I decided I really want it! After a total of a year or so, I finally bought it online from Selfridges (they already remove the UK taxes)! And I couldn't be happier when I got it. Plus even more now, with the bag insert with zip top that I got for it.

Here she is today:

What I forgot to add was, I was looking at a lot of totes at that time. And our discussions about place holder bags in the 2016 thread finally hit me then - that if I buy this, I will no longer want the other totes. So I made a go for it, and I was right. I no longer wanted the others.
ETA: On the patience aspect, I try!! But not successful always. :biggrin:

My favorites are the black perforated tote, which comes in a few more colors I think. Fun for summer!

And this! So adorable.

That was fun. You found some real pretty ones. I might go see some tomorrow if I can get rid of this headache I have had all day. It is fun looking at these without buying too. I get to enjoy designs that I would be to chicken to purchase like the floral one . Though I really like it. Hmmm food for thought.

Hope your headache clears!
the floral tote would be so fun, since it's not too expensive I'd spray it with a protector of some sort and enjoy.
