11 bags in , 12 bags out, 2 slgs in, 1 slgs out.
Of all the bags that came in only one went back out. I got rid of most of the really huge bags and bought more medium size lighter weight bags that really work for me. I have so much empty space that I didn't realize that I still bought a lot of bags. I guess because some of the bigger bags took the same amount of space as three smaller bags.
 
Here is my first LC Le Pliage. It's large long handle (LLH). Don't know official color name. Nowadays a utility bag for me.

Here are my small short handles. Love the color of these two - Bilberry and Cyclamen.

And these 2 are among my favorites for nylon LPs, small long handles - Khaki and Blue.

These are all so great! I really want to add a small long handled nylon tote, I think it would be very practical for me, but will wait until December or January. Gives me time to decide on a colour!

Congrats everyone on their monthly totals. It looks like most people are doing really well with their goals. :tup:

I, however, am going down in flames. :whut:

Bags (Total collection: 28 plus 10 carefree)
• July: 0 out / 2 in
• YTD: 10 out / 9 in (Really, how???)

SLG's (Total collection: 6)
• July: 0 out / 0in
• YTD: 1 out / 2 in

My two adds this month were
1) a temporary fix: the black Dior tote that we've talked about here.

... and...

2) an "I soooo don't need it. I can't possibly justify it. But I want it!" bag [emoji38]

I finally got a yellow bag after seeing all the pretty ones here during yellow week and then dithering over whether I could make it work with my wardrobe. The deciding factors for me in taking the plunge on yellow were I got it in a bag I know I love and I got the bag for a ridiculous steal. :yahoo:

And so, I got another Miss Dior Sliding chain!!
This one in bright yellow lambskin with soft gold hardware! :hbeat:

I love these bags because they are super functional. They are really roomy without looking too big when I wear them. And the sliding chain let's me wear it crossbody or shoulder. I love these bags!! But now I gotta stop. No more MD SC's! LOL!
Oh my goodness she's beautiful! The happiest bag in the world! She will make you smile everytime you see her [emoji7]

Yay, lots of space!!! I've wondered if you kept the Massaccesi Selene midi? It's on the heavy side for you as I recall.

Small long handle is my fave size as it is a shoulder tote that is the right size for daily use. Hope you'll find your color!

Great collection of LCs!
Thanks!!

Love Longchamp! Will try to post pictures later. Thinking of adding my first leather Longchamp (a cuir) later this year.

I ended up being 1 bag and 1 SLG in for August - ordered a crossbody and an SLG from the Massaccesi sale. Still have a few more bags to sell, but it seems like sales have stalled recently.

For all you scarf lovers, I just saw that Hermes's dip dye pop up Hermesmatic is in DC through Saturday (a free service). I am thinking I will purchase an older/vintage scarf and take it in if I can find the time this week. I'll post before and after photos if I go for it.

Congratulations on having developed the self awareness to know what works for you! I admire your discipline around continuously improving your collection.
My collection continues to evolve. I am in mindful purchasing and thoughtful downsizing mode. My most used bags include Longchamp Le Pliage, Hermes Etain Bolide, Chanel black Reissue 226, Hermes Etoupe Evelyne and Celine black small Phantom Cabas. I am content that I have bags that work for my lifestyle, bags that I both love and use regularly. I still admire many beautiful bags from afar and no longer feel that I need to own all of them.


Beautiful bright Dior trio! Congratulations on your bright yellow addition.


Your Gucci bags are lovely, the teal bag is especially gorgeous- you do great with colours!
I hope to be in your state soon. Admire from afar and no longer need to own all of them.
