Well, my packages yielded extremes. LOL! From bad to good. I hated the bag. The dresses were blah. They're all going back immediately. It looks like I'll have to go into a store to buy dresses this season. (Gawd, how I hate to go shopping in a store!!! :frown: I would rather have a tooth pulled. I really wish I'd gotten the shopping gene.)

The Burberry silver lamb trench, however, is killer!! :yahoo: I love this coat!! :loveeyes: And, it fits well too. I had to take a leap of faith as I don't own any other Burberry items. It's the tensiest bit big but that works so I can wear it over sweaters. But, still, belted or hanging open wearing something lightweight or sleeveless underneath, it still looks great. It will be perfect for date nights and evening.

This is the stock photo from Yoogi's. View attachment 3693699Going back to our jewelry discussion. With me loving to wear statement pieces like a silver trench, I certainly can't wear busy jewelry too. LOL! A girls gotta make some hard calls. :lol:

The trench coat is absolutely gorgeous, spark. You say that it's lamb? So it's for winter, then? How will it do in sloppy weather???

On the other end of fashion, I bought a nylon tote for my trip. :hrmm: Giani Bernini foldable packable tote.

The positives: it's packable, it's lightweight, it was super cheap from Macy's with coupons (under $30), it's size doesn't overwhelm me visually, and the straps are comfortable

The negatives: it's so neutral it's bland. :yucky: It's the black hole of bags. I'm going to have to tie something to this thing. LOL! I'm thinking of getting a scarf to tie on it. <yikes!> I just need to decide what I'm wearing so I can get a scarf with those colors.

I know I'll never "wear" this bag again and it surely won't be counted in my collection. LOL! I'll use it to shop at a farmers market or to lug stuff to a picnic. But at the price that's fine. In any case, I feel good that I didn't waste money on an almost bag. I'd have had awful bag buying hangover. And I hate that feeling.

So I'll take this and my little LV with me. Now to figure out what clothes to take. :shocked:

I think it's fine. Tie an inexpensive black & white scarf on the handle, and it will look sharp. And b & w will go with everything.

Anya hindmach clutch; i actually forgot i had this! I found it while looking through my bags. I've had this for close to 10 years and it still looks new. Will have to include this in my rotation now (this is one of the reasons I love this thread; hidden gems are always exposed when we have to post pics, lol)
