2019 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

What a pretty bag!

Very pretty!

Thank you so much!

I’ve ordered these Badgley Misha shoes for the Fendi bag. They will be bite with summer dresses. I wish they were leather vs satin but, if they are comfy, I’ll let it slide. View attachment 4407810

These are so pretty!

How is it going with challenges?

I completed one - April white. I wore my white Diorama.

And I’m hoping for Crash and Burn to work. I’ve lowered all the prices. Still no interest.

When you have trouble selling a bag, does it ever seem like the world is telling you “We don’t want your junk - you had bad taste!” I surely felt that way with the Celine and now these Proenza Schoulers are making me feel that way now.

I am trying crash and burn. No luck yet. Bags take forever to sell!

My least used bags are small bags and ‘repeat bags’ that I have other options I wear more. So far this year I have not used:
- birkin 35 black - I keep thinking I should use for work
-Kelly 28 red sellier - I looooove this bag but I find the ridged structure hard to use for a day out
- Kelly cut blue - clutch, not going out much with little kids but will use in future
- red medor - clutch
- Prada tote black - I need to switch into this for work since I use to use equally as my neverfull, just been lazy

My least used bags are at the consignment shop. The others least used are summer bags since we still have chilly rainy weather. Then next least used in my Bally Woc and my clutches. All of which are special occasion bags so they stay. Everything else I am using.

I am doing crash and burn. I sold a wallet so far but not the bag I wanted to sell. I dropped the price and offered to trade it. There is some interest for a trade but it is for a red bag. So I said no. Though it looks like a darker red that could possibly work. I still have a bit more time. I thought I picked an easy challenge ,boy was I wrong.

The market is really tough right now. I just picked up a bag that didn’t sell at my local consignment store. I’m going to ask my sister if she wants it, as I’d rather send it across the country to her than sell for pennies.

The idea of a trade makes me wary. Would you be trading one unworn bag for another? I think I’d only do a trade if it was for a discontinued bag I wanted but missed out on buying.

It is within a private FB group. I am not doing it because it is not a bag I want but it would have been to someone I have sold to before .

Oh, I have DEFINITELY felt that way when I've gone through consignment sites! Like... wait, whaaaaaat? I paid good money for that bag!
Certain brands (I'm looking at you, MJ!) have dropped to the point of ridiculosity. To where it makes no sense to sell a bag if there's room to keep it, and maybe wear it once a year. Or find a charity that does an elegant "bags and champagne" type of fundraiser, and just donate.

Agreed. At some point it’s just worth it to keep the bag. I can wear the PS’s. I just have better options so I wanted to rehire them. But, not for pennies.

The ivory Chanel needs to just go. Too much money to keep locked up in a bag I don’t / won’t wear. This one shocks me because it’s in great condition and ivory / beige is a popular color.

My C&B results are telling me that I was way overpriced for the market even though I didn’t think so because the markdowns haven’t moved anything. As I mentioned to @ElainePG - I’m not dropping the PS prices anymore. At this point, I’ll just keep them.

These look like a perfect match. You might laugh as I am kind of doing the same thing just with flatter sandals to match my bags.

No laughing here! I've now bought a pair of sneakers, flat sandals and high heeled sandals for the Fendi. I’ve also bought a pair of flat sandals and high sandals for the Dior. My brain just can’t make the coordinating thing work for these two bags and I’m not fighting it anymore. Lol!

Also, I mentioned how badly my typing plus autocorrect mangle my posts? Look at my last one. I ended up typing that the shoes would “be bite” with summer dresses. What the heck? It should have been “be great”

Beautiful! Can't wait to see your pictures when it arrives! Do you have a date for when it's arriving at your house? Do you have to wait at home for it... is signature required?

Should be here Monday and I am pretty certain it will be signature required. I can't miss work because of couple crucial meetings so DH will have to sign it for me.

So I’ve done really well keeping to my resolution. Which was buying the classic WOC ghw with cash once my bonus came through. But then 2 days ago a vintage piece that’s been on my wish list for years fell into my lap and I had to pull the trigger. I’d planned to only buy a WOC and SLG this year but I guess the universe had other plans for me My Chanel Classic Duma backpack in black lamb arrives Tuesday!

My least used bags are not used much because they are too small for every day use, with the exception of my weird bag that is just too weird to be used regularly.
1. Coach fur trimmed hobo (this is the weird one)
2. Henri Bendel No.7 camera bag in black
3. Brighton New York pouch
4. Coach vintage Sonoma small flap in aqua
5. Coach Poppy silver cinch (this one is also too delicate to be carried a lot)

I have some other bags that don't get carried much. I need to really think if I still want them in my collection.

I knew what you meant . Auto correct does this to often.

I figured it was a slang term that I was too over-the-hill to know about!

It was actually really hard for me to think of my least used bags!! When I'm not at work (and can therefore wear bags no matter their functionality), I pretty much make a conscious effort to wear all my bags. Without tracking it's hard to say exactly, which is a great reason to start tracking.

But after much rumination, I'd say my Chloe Faye and my vintage Coach shopper. They're both extremely precious to me…even though I'm not too fussed about wear, perhaps that's part of the reason why I use them less?

Both are pretty!

My five least-used bags are all small or mini bags, because I only carry these occasionally, either out to dinner or to a special event. So even though I rarely carry them, I have no incentive to move them on... I just think of them as special-purpose pieces.
5. Nina Ricci Mini Marche (multicolor: blue, purple)
4. Jason Wu Daphne Mini (multicolor: black, orange, blue)
3. MJ Tweed Girls Mae (red & black)
2. RED Valentino Bow Clutch (raspberry)
1. Cordé vintage clutch (black, with lucite clasp)

Great set of small and mini bags, excellent analysis, too! I love your Corde and Bow clutches.

Just switched into my large Michael Kors Jet set floral embellished crossbody in soft pink.View attachment 4407795

Perfect for Spring!

dc, congratulations, I love this - “my least used bags are at the consignment shop”. Well done on the self awareness and acting to get these out the door! Also, “everything else I am using”, great job!!!
