More clothes arrived and almost all of these were a bust.
I really wish I had a wardrobe fairy godmother who would make clothes appear in my closet.
Anyone up for challenges this month?
1) Holiday Colors Challenge
Pick the color that reminds you of the holiday you observe or simply find fun (for example red or green for Xmas, blue for Hanukkah, red or purple for Saturnalia, etc.) Wear all the bags at least 1 time this month.
2) Festive Times Challenge
Wear all your special (as you define it) bags at least one time. These could be your evening bags, metallic bags, embellished bags, etc. Get those beautiful but, more rarely used bags out at least 1x this month.
3) Most and Least Challenge
Wear the most and least expensive bags in your collection at least 2x this month.
And, since several members (including me) have had success managing their closets with this challenge, we’ll repeat it:
4) Love It or List It - Pick a bag that is on the “bubble” in your collection and wear it twice in a month. If you don’t like it commit to selling / donating it at the end of the month

I went down in flames on my challenge last month. So, of course, I’ll try 2 this month. LOL!
Festive Times
• Chanel gold Boy
• Dior silver Diorama
• Dior cream Diorama
Most / Least
• Dior cream Diorama (yep I’m cheating a bit. LOL!)
• Trussardi red mini Lovy
If you ever find that clothing fairy godmother, send her my way!
I’m going to try to wear my red Kelly this month as part of the Festive Times challenge. I love this bag but rarely wear it because it’s so, well, RED. And fancy, at least to me. But if you can’t wear a red bag at Christmastime, when can you?
this is my last bag purchase for a long long time. I now have a polène in red, yellow and blue so I think I'm just gonna have to consider myself numero un set and I'm now going to find a new thing to do than consider bag purchases! I'm all set now both buying and selling! But I won't believe myself until I see at least a month on ban island happen for reals....
i did well with mine in November, wore all black bags (11) min 2 timesMore clothes arrived and almost all of these were a bust.

we will travel to ski resort for a week, so i won't be able to plan and follow any of your suggested ones, but i will do my own - wear whatever you want to wear and capture it next to/under the tree, decorated, or natural, this will help me to relate to festive theme!
answering your question and starting my challenge in one go!

Yay! It will be fun to try to use our festive bags during the season.
And FYI, this month’s most and least is based on amount of cost not amount of times worn.
Yes!!! You definitely should wear that gorgeous bag a number of times this month and again in February.
(That being said, I like wearing red bags all year!)
This bag is stunning!
You seem to have had a lot of movement this month. Are you tending to buy multiples more often now? You mentioned you have 3 Polenes and I think I saw two Fendi mono bags? I know that I will definitely buy multiples of styles that work for me - like my four Chanel flaps, three Miss Diors, two Dioramas, two Prada DZT’s and two PS Small Couriers. I absolutely intend to buy more Dioramas, and add some siblings to my Chanel Boy.
The PS Sm Couriers need to go though. Lol! I did a mini Love it or List it challenge on both last month and they are definitely the bottom feeders in my closet. I love the mixed metal chains but the bags are too soft so they’re a little inconvenient to wear. It’s hard to explain but they squish in and it irritates me.
Good job on your challenge!!! And LOL! I love your “challenge.”i did well with mine in November, wore all black bags (11) min 2 times

Quick dilemma ! Went to Mulberry outlet and the finally got my Union Jack Darley in and a gorgeous large wallet in it. The Darley in person seems so much smaller then I recall. However the wallet is gorgeous. It is not rfid but it is red on the inside and blue leather on the outside with the Union Jack closure. Do I be good or get it because I have waited almost two years for this to come in and this will be my last chance?
What would be the reasons by to get it? Do you have other bags that are similar? Do you have room?
The main barrier for me would be if I thought it was too small. Will it still be functional?
I was going to go for the wallet instead of the bag.
some items, smaller/funkier, we get for love, and not for practical/functional aspect.
If money is not a problem, i say get it. It will be your good mood booster
Here is a picture.oh, yes! i am creative!
