I went to a family gathering today. Haven’t worn this Alma in Epi in ages! I sort of missed her!! (Originally intended to wear white sneakers with the outfit, but had a change of mind last minute thinking - “is it age appropriate?” [emoji16]

Outfit looks great. I love wearing sneakers with dresses, especially when travelling since I end walking so much.

I know this isn't exactly on topic but I figured since I saw the bag here first it's @bellarusa 's fault that I bought it :lol:. The Bandit has arrived, lovely bag, especially for the price point...now I'm curious about the smaller size, did I read somewhere that someone wasn't happy with the strap drop on the smaller one? Here's my new baby...View attachment 4343000

Here are my 2 green bags - bambou 32 Hermes kelly and malachite 30 Hermes Birkin. I had originally asked for a malachite kelly but my store never got one in in the specs I wanted so my SA offered me the bambou kelly instead. I said no over the phone since the description online at the time did not appeal to me but he convinced me to come in and see the bag. I loved the colour in real life and it has become my most used bag. It is a work horse, I use it year round and it has been soaked in rain showers, I have fallen on ice with it (once I broke my arm while trying to protect it!), it has been dragged around by my kids and stuffed under the stroller and it has travelled to many countries. Yet it still looks great!
The malachite I got years later in Paris and was happy to add the colour to my collection since it is a beautiful emerald.

Stunning choices! These are beautiful H greens. Your twilly selections go great with the bags! Which leather is your Bambou Kelly?

And here is my green BV bag and the current laptop. Coincidentally the laptop died on Friday so hopefully this expedites the arrival of the new lighter smaller laptop? A girl can dream, right? :giggle:View attachment 4344485

Even though I am not on a purse ban, I will make sure that I rotate my bags weekly this 2019. In the previous years, I tend to stick to one bag until I see some problem / wear out of it which is not good for the bag.

Also, I want to take them out evenly so that they won't be stucked in their dust bag for a long time to at least give them some air.

These are great goals for 2019. "Airing" bags is good... it makes them feel loved! :lol:

Thanks! I hope it gets scheduled soon so it will be behind us. He had the heart attack in August. It took us completely by surprise. We didn't have an inkling he was at risk.

Oh, how frightening that must have been. A lot of pressure on BOTH of you. I hope you're able to take good care of yourself, while you take good care of him.

I think your flats look beautiful with the dress (and I wouldn't have worn white sneakers, FWIW). If they are the silver TB ones, I'm your twin! :ghi5:

I’m so glad you are wearing this purse again. I love it.

Your outfit is wonderful including your shoes! But, I also thing white sneakers would have been adorable as well. Wearing sneakers with a dress elevates the sneakers and is a very cute casual look.

Hmmm. I just posted the exact opposite! :shocked:

I guess I'm just not behind the "sneakers as fashion" look. I wear them with jeans, of course, and I elevate the look of the jeans with a cute sweater or jacket and pretty jewelry. But I don't go in the opposite direction, pulling the sneakers away from the jeans and wearing them with dresses.

I know the fashion blogs (and runways) show it this way. It just looks strange to me. Like the top and the bottom belong to two different women. :confused1:

Your Kelly bags are both insanely gorgeous. Such beautiful greens. And I'm fascinated to hear that a Kelly can take so much abuse and still look great! Though I'm so sorry to hear about your broken arm. :huh:
