I should have said 'welcome' in my earlier post - so WELCOME!
Tpf is a great resource for exploring - I love it when people post real life photos and mod shots so we can get a sense of how things wear and appear in normal lighting. Always something good to learn.Purchasing used items is a wonderful way to go for economy, of course, and is a nice way of keeping it fun. I add to what others have said about remembering that and not to overdo it. By going used when I am curious about a line or specific style, at least for me, the challenge is frequently of the search itself and there is fun in discovering something that fits my budget in a manageable way which also expands my sense of style. In the last couple of years, I was quite surprised to discover that I love a good tote style or larger bag with some slouch, even though I had previously/always purchased smaller crossbody and satchel bags. Part of my revelation was also figuring out that I like to change my bags to work with my outfits on a regular basis and that using pouches to carry my items really facilitates that idea well and helps my organization. Who knows? You may discover you are a one-bag-a-season person or that you change every day. One thing for sure, though, is that none of this is a requirement and it does not have to break the bank. The options are truly endless.
