Hi everyone! Shameful as it is, I was not able to do the January challenges. And just when I thought I was doing "good" (January was almost over) and would not purchase a bag this year, I succumbed and even bought 2! My excuses were that the 1st one was part of my wishlist for 2 or 3 years already and the other one was on and off my eBay watchlist. Now, I want to say I am done. But I might just jinx myself.

For the February challenges, I was able to read them early this morning. AOTM, I do not have a red bag. I had a Vivienne Westwood pochette with streaks of red but I sold it last year. But if I can recall correctly, I have 3 purple bags. I am lazy to stand up and look for them in my closet now as I am preparing to sleep but I got the chance to wear 1 of them to a birthday party of a co-mommy in school early this evening. It is my Vivienne Westwood small sling bag:

I'm 1 of 3 purple bags down for the Color Challenge and 1 of 3 smallest bags down for the Extreme Team Challenge.

My other purple bags are:
- Vivienne Westwood speedy-like bag
- RM Mini Cupid

My other smallest bags are:
- LV Pochette
- Fendi Baguette

My late January and early February purchases are:
- Balenciaga Town in Latte with RGH
- Marc Jacobs Single Baroque

I'm planning on selling my lesser known brand bags bec. they are basically redundant bags already and haven't touched them in 6 months or so. And I'm starting my decluttering in the house. That should keep me busy and away from eBay. If I should sell something, I'll post them on Facebook rather than on eBay where I can get easily tempted to search for bags and other items.

We don’t have to do purple yet so you have no worries. It only red and burgundy.

Don’t worry. We all have those moments when the bags we reeeaaaally want come around just as we put a hold on our buying.

I don’t have any luck selling anything on Facebook. Have you been able to move bags that way?

I think @LVintage_LVoe is taking about the Feb color challenge not the showcase which is to wear all your red or purple bags.

I keep a group shot of all my bags on my phone but I don’t have Individual photos. So I quickly took a group shot now of my 3 red bags:
- Hermes Tpm Evelyn, rouge garance
- Hermes kelly 28, rouge casaque
- Hermes medor, rouge vif
I feel like I have great coverage for red - casual small bag, dressy clutch and medium size bag that can go from casual to dressy. So I have no interest in adding any other bags.

Oh, what a gorgeous collection of reds. Yes, you definitely do have great "red coverage." That's a good way to analyze it.

Beautiful reds!! And I see the little sister of my Marc Jacobs 54! That size you have is perfect!
Click to expand...
That's right! I was thinking of you when I posted the photo! :ghi5: The Mini 54 size holds an amazine amount. It honestly isn't "mini", despite the name... it's a little over 10" across. So I use it as a daytime bag. To me, a mini bag is more like 6" or 7" across, and only holds a small wallet, keys, lipstick, and a couple of tissues. More for evenings.

You bought two very special bags this year! I would LOVE to own another Town bag. It's the perfect size. What color is your MJ Baroque?

If you have time later this year, I'm sure we'd love to see pictures of your new Balengiaca and MJ bags!

The Mulberry Daria is so pretty. I should have bought one while they were still being made.
I honestly don't like anything in the "new" Mulberry collection. Do you?
Click to expand...
thank you! mine is from the last season, i ordered it from Mulberry.com when it was on site right before they discontinued it and i glad i did, every time i carry it, i admire it! gorgeous colour and leather is like butter!
from the new collections i like the WOCs, those that @Miss_Dawn has 2, Indigo and Red
others are a bit too structured for my liking

View attachment 4329234
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. :shrugs:

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. :loveeyes: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.:graucho: 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.

Be still my heart - that darlin' lil Trussardi! :heart:

2019
  • Same as 2018
  • Considered replacing Red Lambskin WOC with Black Caviar WOC, got quotes, decided to pause on selling red WOC, purchased the black WOC and use it frequently (fantastic little bag for traveling), carried and reevaluated the red WOC and decided to keep it for the time being (silky smooth leather as it is 5 years old now) and monitor my wears

Love the Chanel!
