Thanks I had to laugh because the closure is so shiny you can see my green artist cutting mat reflected in it.
2018 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

Gorgeous! This bag will be so versatile in your closet.
This is such a great neutral color, and the silver hardware is a perfect match.
I agree because I sold both tannish bags I had . Last year I wore both a lot even though they weren’t quite right.
Thank you! I think so too.This is such a great neutral color, and the silver hardware is a perfect match.
Gave it a test drive at the outlets and it works well.

In additional to the loss point, my other concern is quality. If I've let go any of those bags I bought a decade (or over ago), it'd be a real pain to find something equally high quality in nowadays from the boutiques.
I know what you mean. I have that issue with a couple of my bags. I don’t want to downgrade quality and / or pay thousands to get back to parity.
This is a great neutral. It looks warm toned in some lights and cool toned in others. And it’s a very fashionable small size. I think you’ll get a lot of use from this one.
Very pretty!
Woooo - leave tPF for a couple days and look what happens!
@ElainePG - Happy birthday! Your cake sounds delish and I personally think everyone should eat birthday cake for breakfast! Why not?!
@catsinthebag - it sounds like you've made the correct decision! Buh-bye purse that doesn't stay shut!
It seems like everyone had a marvelous Christmas/Holiday - i did as well. My kids were all thrilled and that was all that really mattered to me.
I looked over my goals for 2018.
A black everyday purse. Didn't find, so a goal for next year too. The Gucci is darling and I love it but it is not an 'everyday' bag. I really do need 2 black bags that I consider everyday - otherwise I wear the same black bag over and over… That was my Loewe (still sad I had to return it), and is now the LV Lockme Bucket. I had written that I thought I wanted a Kelly - and I *think* I still do, but I have the same feelings about it. My biggest fear about it is that it will be too fiddly. I like easy-peasy (which would be a B, but no shoulder strap there, so Nope) purses… but oh my - I love those lady-like elegant bags! So, still looking for that HG Kelly - the right color, the right condition (because I'm going Pre-loved) and the right price.
Okay to get a bag if I love it. I bought several purses this year, and then discovered I didn't love them. So I turned around and sold or donated several of them.
Stop buying scarves due to Sales Goggles - well - I tried. Next year.
Sell scarves I'm not wearing - a work in progress. I did sell 17 this year, I hope to sell a few more in 2019. Since I do keep a spreadsheet for them, I know which ones should go.
My spreadsheet for my purses was interesting - this was the first time I'd ever done that.
I'll do it again next year to see if there are changes.
It showed me that I don't wear my beloved black bags as much in the summer as I thought, but in the cooler months, it's hard to get me out of them. I love my Just Campagne Confort 1 - love the leather, love the color. I have looked at other bags in this color and thought "Nah - I have the Confort - it's perfect!". My H Vespa was my 3rd most worn bag - it is a perfect summer casual, and just the right size. The H Drag 2 was 4th - I think it would get more wear if it had a shoulder strap… but I do love it so it's not going anywhere.
I've really enjoyed this thread, and look forward to joining y'all for 2019!
I love bag missions. Lots of ideas about everyday black purses. If you love your Lockme bucket (can’t blame you, wasn’t that your reveal with the hot pink piping? Stunning!) and want a practical style, maybe one of the following? In no particular order:
- LV Neverfull in Epi Noir
- LV PM in Empreinte Noir (I really want this one this year!)
- Givenchy Antigona small
- Burberry Banner small or medium
- Prada Galleria medium
- any top handle satchel or tote from Ferragamo (I have the Fiamma; quality is exceptional)
Anyways, let’s carry on this conversation on the 2019 thread. Did I mention I love bag missions?

Oh I miss seeing your paintings dc! Love, love this one. We don't experience white Christmases here in my country. That's why I love seeing pictures and paintings like this one you created. Perfect!
Belated Merry Christmas Elaine and belated Happy Birthday! Hope the fun never ends! [emoji319][emoji512][emoji8]
