No bags this time. Got her a pretty nightgown and matching robe.
2017 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

I wanted to get her a bag, but she said no. I still have no idea, but Mother's Day here is in August, so I still have time.
Can you borrow your sister's bag for a day? Or even a few minutes just to try it on and see how you like it? Coz if you can say you don't like a soften bag, then, this one has to go.
I want to, but this year so far hasn't been too kind. [emoji28] I'm writing up some projects now, but I'm tired and want to sneak out. Too bad I know I have to get it done before DD 's school is off and I have to pick her up. [emoji29] Dropping by the thread will do. [emoji28]
I left the gym tonight and my car wouldn't start. 
This is the second time in about 4 months that this happened. So it seems I need a new battery for my car. 
The battery + installation will cost far less than any one wardrobe item I've purchased over the last month. So why does it feel like a tortuous financial burden / pure highway robbery for me to spend the money on it?
I just don't care even a little bit about cars. I would drive a rusty 1940's school bus if it weren't for the fact that my DH insisted I get a "nice" car. I just want a box on wheels that simply GOES!
Anyone else feel no qualms about buying a handbag that costs 3 - 5 figures yet squawk loud and long at teeny bills for other stuff?

DC/Vink, I'm now thinking if I should go back to the consignment shop that quoted me low on this bag. In fairness, they sell bags fairly fast, although of course with exceptions. As a side note, my SIL tried to consign her almost new LV Pallas monogram (forgot the size, but not the smallest) with them, but she was offered a very low price. Good prices for buyers, but not for sellers really.
Oh yes, this sounds so familiar!!! Sorry about your car.I left the gym tonight and my car wouldn't start.

when my DH replaced a small motor that drives the blinder under his car's sunroof back and forth for 1,000$ i was nearly tearing my hear off
but then i thought - he must be feeling the same seeing me paying the same $$$ for something that i already have. in multiples. so i shut my mouth and didn't say anything
better not to trouble trouble

Guilty as charged [emoji23]. I get panic attacks when we need to get quotes for work that needs to be done around the house but won't bat an eyelid on dropping 3 - 4 grand on a handbag [emoji23].
Sorry about the car though; thats one of my worst nightmares, having a flat tire or dead battery whilst on my own. Its right up there with one of my kids playing with my high-end designer bags [emoji33], lol
That actually make sense. If the price isn't low enough to make a significant differences in paying first hand, it'd be very hard to attract buyers. I got that a lot with stuff I'm selling. [emoji20] That's why I just choose to give away instead. [emoji20]

I know. [emoji4] There's also a similar thread in the financial section of the forum regarding this issue. Well, I don't like paying for a big car maintenance, but I know for a clueless like me, it's easier than to have it break on me. Plus, I drive a long way very often (twice a week) so I have to suck it up. Yeah... I know I'd love to spend it on stuff I like, yeah... but sometimes, I have to suck it up, too. [emoji20]
So, here're my metallic.
These are the last year lot.
I still have them. Plus these two. [emoji4]
