My final bag for the 10 bags in January challenge is a very rare Hermes Birkin 150, the color is Rose with yellow gold hardware, the LEGO material that it is made from is very rare. The only real issue I have with this bag is it’s weight, it extremely heavy.
I just got a wonderful news form my company - I'm being issued a new computer (life cycle management) and I'll be getting a Dell xps that is only 2.2lbs and super thin. This is going to allow me to use about all of my handbags as my work bag!
I'm so excited about it.

We have reached the end of the month. How did we all do? I have a tumi card holder and a nylon pouch in I will count the nylon pouch in as an slg just so I don't pick up to many more.

For me not to have a bag in is huge. I am really trying to only get things that work.

This challenge really helped me to edit my bags and focus on what I really want and need. Thank you for putting the challenge together.

I think I found a black tote. Argh. I don’t want to spend the money on it but, I think it’s perfect. It’s a Chanel large City Shopping tote in caviar. @catsinthebag, don’t you own this tote? Any insights? @missie1, we were just talking about the tote. Whaddayathink?
What do you ladies think? It’s caviar so it will be sturdy. It’s the right size. And, it has the center zip section I like. The only down sides are the back pocket is a little small. And the strap drop is two inches longer than I prefer. (I can do longer. Not shorter.)
Yikes. I was kinda hoping to get a replacement for my black flap this year. No way, I’m going to buy both of those bags this year because I know I’ll see something else and I had set my bag limit to one for the entire year.View attachment 4326147
I'm not sure I'm hearing the giddiness you want to have for all your bags. Is it just the price tag holding you back? Or are you not quite sure this is "it"?
That is really lovely. It looks so sumptuous, and it's such a pretty color.
Wow! That is a stunner for sure. I've never seen anything like it, but I really love it.
I could haha! I might have to curl my feet a little bit, but the base is almost exactly my height. So funny!
Shoutout to your workplace for helping you shop your closet!!
For me, no bags in or out in January!
I did let go of my black HB Jetsetter on Dec 31st though. Now that I'm doing interviews again, I wish I still had it. A stately black handbag is never me, except for interviews where I wear my one black suit and pretend to be official
So really, I'm glad I don't have it because it wasn't very me. I think I just need to buy a suit that isn't black and stop pretending I'm a subtle/quiet dresser 
No SLGs out as well, but I did add one Longchamp club pouch to hold my makeup for the day! My SLG collection is pretty much complete
I am still looking for a slimmer case for my sunglasses. I prefer big sunglasses for my face, and so the case that comes with my Tom Ford sunglasses is so bulky. I'm glad it protects them, but it never works out for my mini bags. I found a pouch on etsy that's a similar color to the TF brown with a cute pink suede lining to protect the lenses! Maybe I'll buy it this month. Side note: I could totally upgrade my SLG collection and I've even made a wishlist of items I'd get to "upgrade", but right now spending close to $400 for an Hermès Calvi or $270 for an Anya Hindmarch nylon pouch is out of my comfort zone! The most expensive item here is my Comme des Garcons wallet which I still bought with a coupon…I'm still in a place where I'd rather buy a bag with that kind of money
Maybe when I'm out of grad school I'll update the pieces but for now I will not be buying anymore SLGs and I'll be using what I have for the next few years. Love the functionality of each pouch; I'm so obsessed with stuff like that.Attachments
Ha ha ha
It’s an original!
Congratulations on no bags in for Jan and a great start to the year!
Outstanding edit (so brave!) Do you have anything you are planning to add right away? I would love to hear more about your thought process of exiting more than half of your collection.
Congratulations on your Jan stats and fantastic SLG collection. I’ve been interested in the Comme des Garcons wallet for awhile. I don’t need it, I think it’s cute.Shoutout to your workplace for helping you shop your closet!!

This is beautiful but feels like you might be settling. Have you tried all your stuff in it? Also how will you hide the logo?
