I think it was @ipsum who just asked about buying duplicates

It was actually @bellebellebelle19 who brought up about the dupes. Honestly, I'ven't been buying any new shoes straight from the shop for ages. Most of them are pre-loved in brand new condition 50-80% off original prices... If I were you, I'd go for cheaper option too. Schutz has good quality-price ratio like Hush Puppies. Downsizing 16 bags is a quite achievement. Congrats! :tup:

I do. They did the second runway in Bangkok so I suddenly turn weak and want to have a piece of it. I already like pastel so.... I’m eyeing a bag. I stumbled into a boutique the other day and happened to find that one bag that is just “nautical “ for me. I may get it. Meanwhile, I already got some brooches so I’m pretty much set on that. I hope I won’t want anything anymore. I have goal I want to spend money on, which of course, isn’t Chanel. [emoji4]

What are your spend goals?

Yes, that's what I'm hoping. And jewel tones are good colors for me... so I'm crossing my fingers! That's why I want to buy the dress in the winter, even though the event is in May. By March or April, all they'll be showing are pastels, which are not good tones for me.

I saw a lovely dress in the shop in an amazing shade of garnet, but I didn't have time to try it on. Cobalt would be good, too.

Sounds great. I love cobalt. Do you have sapphires to wear with?

I keep contemplating next years resolution and I might keep it the same. I had a lot of movement this year but I really like what I kept. The main thing is nothing can be squashed together and no bag in bag because I won’t use it if it is not easy to grab. I won’t limit myself to a certain number in . However I have to sell or give away before I buy something if it looks like it may be a tight fit.

Sapphires would be gorgeous with it, but no... I don’t have anything like that, other than a pair of diamond studs that belonged to The Hubster’s grandmother. I hadn’t even thought about jewelry! Goodness! Would pearls work? I’ve got pearl earrings and a choker. :panic:

Of course pearls work. Very grande dame.

I had a black tie party on Friday. I wore this pearl necklace (with white zircon) which my parents gave me to celebrate a work promotion last year. My parents colluded with Mr Dawn to have the necklace made to match with a pair of statement earrings he gave me years ago. I didn’t want to wear the huge earrings so I wore small floral diamond cluster earrings instead, which (kind of) matched okay.

:rofl: you crack me up Sparkle! No, not as in “forever!” Absolutely not...I’m not THAT crazy :cray: :giggle: My life took an unusual but happy turn this past year & my lifestyle is more casual for the time being. Things made me lose interest in buying any bags ( I’ve really only bought new Lululemon attire;):lol: & sneakers this year) & I’m very content w/ what I have. @Miss_Dawn (your pretty new avatar almost threw me off for a minute)hmmm, no bags that you likely know of (no chanel’s) A few Balenciaga, Mulberry & a bunch of “contemporary” designers went bye-bye/off to lovely new owners.:hugs:
