Cute outfit! I love the bag, plus the bows on your sleeves are adorable.
Thanks Elaine! It’s a summery blouse, as you know it’s oftentimes hot here. [emoji3]. Though not really at the mall.

Love your outfit. Did you buy anything cute while there?A trip to a newer mall I’ve not been to since they expanded. With my Mulberry Leighton supported by Massaccesi shoulder strap. [emoji3]
Love how much you use this beautiful bag! I remember reading about your struggles getting it, great to see it paid offA trip to a newer mall I’ve not been to since they expanded. With my Mulberry Leighton supported by Massaccesi shoulder strap. [emoji3]
Thanks! I was mainly looking for peripherals for the Microsoft Surface Go I bought during Black Friday (love this gadget!). Oh, and also a rice cooker at the appliance store there to replace my broken one. [emoji16] Nothing cute, lol. I’m not ready to shop yet after all the shopping I did during my recent vacation.
Thanks! It’s now one of my favorite bags! [emoji3]Love how much you use this beautiful bag! I remember reading about your struggles getting it, great to see it paid off
Bag no. 8 in 10/31 for tomorrow. LE Lady Dior in cream lambskin.
Miss_Dawn Your bag is lovely! I’ve always liked this model. Seems just a bit easier to get in and out of than the traditional Lady Dior. Did you add that chain..for shoulder carry or? Do you find it easy to use an ivory/cream bag?
Also, inspired by your fountain pen posts, I’ve decided to rotate through my fountain pens...and to mitigate the ink drying inside the pen, I am going to carry and use only one until I use up the ink, clean it, and move on to another one. Let’s see how many I get through in 2019. This is the pen I’m carrying in my So Dior tote right now. Shaeffer with stylized nib. It is one of the smoothest nibs I’ve ever used! Is it ok to post the “current fountain pen in my bag” in this thread?
What a beauty!Bag no. 8 in 10/31 for tomorrow. LE Lady Dior in cream lambskin.
Love your idea of rotating through your fountain pens! The marbled Schaeffer is so elegant. Is it a new model, or is it a refurbished vintage one?
What's the story on your bag? It's a Dior, obviously, but I've never seen one quite like it. Is it fabric, or is my laptop acting up???
This photo looks like it should be a magazine ad! I love pens and would love to see yours as you rotate through them.
Fabulous Lady Dior!Bag no. 8 in 10/31 for tomorrow. LE Lady Dior in cream lambskin.
essiedub, I like your bag and elegant fountain pen. I’ve never seen this So Dior tote - it’s lovely!

Thans ElainePG and MoreBags!
I bought The Shaeffer at Flax in San Francisco in 1990/91. I haven’t shopped for fountain pens in a long time so don’t know if they still do this nib. I fell in love with the look of the nib and the silky smooth writing sealed the deal. It is definitely one of my favorites!
The So Dior is lambskin side and out. The fancy chain does make it quite heavy, which is its only drawback but it’s super silky smooshy, which is Dior lambskin. It has that interesting cannage “grommett” which adds another level of interest...like jewelry. There is a slip pocket on the outside in the middle behind the cannage band, which could be used to stash a phone or bus ticket, though I don’t use it. It is from 2011.. I was mad for Dior that year..here was the commercial that entranced me. You’ll see the So Dior in the last room
aren’t all those bags divine! I think that was the heyday of modern day Dior (no clue what they’re doing to the brand now
)Thanks catsinthebag! I love pen and I love paper..so old fashioned, I know. I have got to start ysing all these pens Ive amassed cuz they do spark joy and what’s the point of having them if I don’t use them. So this is one of my themes for the year.
I did it! 
#10 of 10 for the challenge. I wore my Ltd. Edition Black studded Diorama WOC to an alumni sorority event today. The attire was dressy black with tons of pearls so, she was a perfect accent! But, I swear by the Great Turtle that these bags don’t hold a lot. Lol!! It makes me rethink my back o’ the head plan to get a pink Chanel WOC.
I don’t have the best photo of this bag from today
I actually repurposed the photo I sent to my main BFF as she wanted suggestions because she ACTUALLY MAY BUY A DECENT BAG!!! The one good bag she owns is one I bought for her (a Dooney & Bourke Alto). Her other bag is a beat up, pleather, zipper infested, lime green monstrosity that couldn’t have cost more than $25 new and saw it’s better days over a decade ago. 
She feels about bags like I do about scarves or belts... or putty knives. LOL! She just does NOT get why anyone wants / cares / collects / etc.
Having her in my life is a welcome reality check when I’m about to plunk down an ungodly sum of dollars on yet another bag.
BUT, I may have infected her with my mania at least a bit. She admitted an affection for Dior bags from all my ranting, sending photos and dragging her into the stores. And, she said she may want to look at a Lady Dior.
This is the equivalent of me deciding to go camping...
like for real...
in the woods...
with bears and trees...
and no hotel rooms...
or concierges...
just untamed ...nature.
LOL!!!!!
(I still have to do my red bag challenge. Eeeek! So few days left!)

OH MY GOSH!!! I love that commercial!
To me Dior’s recent high water mark was about 3-5 years before and after this time. Total swoon!!!! You could wear all those items and still look stunning. I mean my gawsh. That gold LD they show. I just can’t!!! I also loved the Rafe years. He did great things with the brand.
What are they doing now? Delivering product that isn’t fully true to the band ethos. I haven’t abandoned ship. The quality is still wonderful. I can still find feminine glam in some items. And it’s one of the only premier brands I will suck up the price and buy clothes and shoes as well as the bags. But much of it feels off to me. I can’t WAIT for a new head designer.
LOL putty knives!!I did it!

I swoon over this WOC! It’s totally unlike anything in my wardrobe but I aim to keep an open mind and this is definitely coming into my way of thinking.
