Is this month’s challenge pinned somewhere? I know I saw it but is it easily accessible like the colour of the week one?

Lovely curating!

2019
Same as 2018 except I sold the Gucci Stirrup which I miss terribly!! But, I didn’t reach for it so, it’s probably good that it’s gone.

Wow! There has been a lot of change as I’ve refined my style. I’m pretty content with my reds. The color is a neutral but, I still don’t wear them as often as I’d think I would so, I don’t feel any need to add a fourth. I ADORE my Chanel flap and tiny Trussardi. The Prada - meh. If anything I’d sell the Prada and get a red I’d wear a little more often - like an LV lockme II BB. Or, perhaps I should sell it and get a different bag in a different color. I’ve considered selling to for a number of years. We’ll see what happens.

These are gorgeous. I love the transformation.

I don't recall what year these are from as I couldn't find my stuff on tpf so I searched for old photos .

The only bag I have from back then is my Ruby Paige from Mz. I had finally bought the Mulberry bayswater in small and sold the fossil super cheap to a friend. My speedy I just gave to my daughter because it was her dream bag and I struggled to wear it. Right now I have the three bright red bags at the consignment shop. I only want my Bally tote ,Mulberry and small oxblood coach. If they don’t sell they come back so for now this is my reds and burgundy bags.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday to those who watch!

Today is going to be another listing day. I’m going to sell the red Prada. I only wore it 4 times last year and 3 wear were “forced” because of our challenges. I have no heartburn over this one. Better to get the little bit of money it’s worth and put that to another similarly functional bag that I’ll actually wear. Bags with gold hardware are tough for me to rotate in as I prefer white gold jewelry and don’t mix metals. I’d rather just get a second smallish gold bag (I have my gold new medium Boy) and use those when I wear yg jewelry v my previous approach of trying to have bags with both shw & ghw in all my “key” colors.

And, I know what I’m getting for V day so I’m selling the item it’s replacing in hopes someone will want it for their Valentine. I also have 2 other pieces I’m ready to let go. Jewelry is the one thing I’m bad about hoarding. So, I’m trying to have a 1 in 2 out approach for the next couple years. I’ll let you know if I can pull this off without having a stroke. LOL! With V Day, I’ll have 2 pieces in over the last couple months so, I have to make good on the four out I’m really dithering on what #4 will be. It’s easier for me to give the jewelry to DD than sell it. So, I may just pick something out and give it to her as a V day present. BTW - I’m so happy, her project has been extended so she’ll be here through the first week of March!!!

Finally, I have some clothes the were lurking earmarked for sale a couple months ago that I forgot about. They are mostly mistakes from my last trip to Europe. I just went buying cuckoo. I look at the items and think what alien took over my body and made me buy these??? One cream colored jacket is my size but so voluminous, that it looks like I’m being swallowed by demonic yet artistically designed marshmallow. Another bad idea is a black pantsuit with ankle pants hemmed in 3 inches of white lace. I really have no idea what I was thinking.

Yikes! Assuming the black tote is a keeper but I remove these latest bags from my collection, I’ll be down to 22 bags. This will make my collection the smallest it’s been since I started getting bags as a teenager.

But, I’m happier with my collection than ever before. I’ll never be a minimalist but, I’m certainly learning that if I get the right bags I’m more content with far less.

I still want to get a black Chanel single flap in caviar or lamb to replace the black patent I sold. Other than that, the only bags I want right now are on opposite extremes. I want a unique green bag that doesn’t cost much money at all (under $500 and in the vein of my Trussardi) and I want a bag I refuse to spend the money on - a small pink Kelly. I’m on the hunt for the green. The Chanel I’m going to try to put off at least til my bday in Dec. And, the Kelly will be added when my fairy pursemother drops it off.

The bags I have in shades of red at the moment:


Furla Club M


I don‘t know the exact name of this Tod‘s bag. It‘s a great shopper with nice slouchy leather.

I had at least three more red bags that I‘ve sold a while ago (another red Tod‘s, a Mandarina Duck Hera and a Modalu Pippa Bag). Red is much more versatile than I would have guessed before I tried it out.

Your collections of red bags are great, as far as you‘ve showed them here yet!

I have always liked your red Speedy. But then again you were not reaching for it, so I was happy when you kept it within the family. Your daughter must have really been happy. Do I recall correctly that you gave it to her for Christmas?

And I really like your Bally too! I wish I found one in this color. That Bernina (?) tote appeared once in a while at Yoox, but never in that color combo.

I'm getting this feeling (bolded statement) too!! I'm slowly becoming content and really feeling happy about my bags. This is not to say though that I do not lust for this bag or that. (Because at this very moment I'm thinking if I should make an offer on a bag.) Just a wonderful feeling with having these beautiful (to me) bags!

I used to have this Furla Club M, but in sage green. The color didn't work for me. But this red is pretty and more versatile! And I really love the color of your Tod's.

My red Rudsak satchel that I’ve been carrying this week. I love this design so much I have it in black as well. My favourite detail is that it comes with a tiny led flashlight on a leather cord on the inside to help you look for things in the dark.

Also, apologies if I just jump in and out of this thread, I like the challenges but find it hard to keep up with the conversation.
