One of my five final bags just sold! I really slashed the price to move it. It was frustrating to go so low because I like the bag and it’s in excellent condition. But, I kept reminding myself - You don’t wear the bag. You don’t want the bag. Sell it for anything and get it off of your mind.

I made a teeny tiny $200. But, I also sold a printer for $100. Those two together mean I can get the Tiffany sunglasses I’ve been ogling. I loooove it when I can buy something fun from “found” money. It feels like Christmas! View attachment 4412622
They’re dark blue and I want them to match the blue bag I’m not supposed too know Mr. S bought. He is so bad at hiding presents and I’m so focused ...er ...um ...lucky to run across them. :Rofl:

There are 3 pair I want. These T & Co. The Louis Vuitton DaliaView attachment 4412628And these LV Canvas clockwiseView attachment 4412630
I try to hold myself to one new pair of sunnies a year. Because I already have 9
pair. But the love is waining on a couple so I may sell those and get all three of these. I have a pair of Prada sunnies up for sale now that I never wore. Hope those sell soon too!
I ended up getting these pairs since I wanted gold in the frames since I mostly wear gold earrings these days - all prescription. Cat eyed suits my face shape well.
Gucci sunglasses
Valentino (I already have these in black and silver) and Prada

April's stats - a little early but I have time today
I did the Color Challenge and the Less Is More challenges.
I wore my rose/cream Camelia Roma once, I had intended to wear the Vespa too but haven't gotten there yet.
For the Less Is More - I wore Gerard Darel seven times (out of town for business), Coach Quincy four times ( downtown for business - I have no idea how much this was but since I've had it for close to 30 years, the CPW is super low), and the Camelia Roma once.
* Purses in - 4, Purses out - might be donating one.
Purses in were a super cute Coach straw and leather Bonnie, Danse Lente Margot in coral (this is like a Picotin but much more structured), @Sparkletastic's Proenza Schouler PS Courier Small (love!), and a Retta Wolfe 'ligator bag in blue.
This one might get donated… it's very pretty and I do like it but it's started to flake and crack. And I don't like that. I can't return it either so I'm kinda stuck.
* Scarves in - 4, Scarves out - 1 - Yay!
The 4 scarves in are all different formats - a plisse (L'Art du Temari) in bright pink, a pointu (H2O), my first Maxi T (Astrologie Nouvelle) and an HG - I found another La Rosee changeant! :panic:
It should be here tomorrow, but I'll have to pick it up at the post office Tuesday because I won't be home tomorrow morning.
I know this thread isn't about scarves, so I thank you for indulging me!

I also know I haven't been shopping my closet very well this month.
My goal for May is to NOT BUY ANY PURSES!! pray.gif
(or scarves unless they are HGs)
One month at a time, one week at a time, one day at a time.

Don’t feel bad I got three bags today. Two Mz Wallace bags and a Roberta Pieri bag. All of them are nylon and light weight. One will be my Mother’s Day gift . So I can’t play with it yet.
 
Lol :biggrin: i moved to SC 10 years ago and the roaches, called palmetto bugs here, drive me insane. Multiple sightings a week no matter how clean u are. :wtf: The big ones fly!
Oh, right, palmetto bugs! I had forgotten that's what they were called! I lived inland, in the Greenville/Spartanburg area, not on the coast where the palmetto trees were, but I still think palmetto begs were the kind I had there. They were awfully big...

These are really nice! The last ones (Prada, I think?) with the stripes on the side pieces are very cool.

I'm going to be picking out new glasses this week. I need my prescription changed, and I've decided to pick out frames that are more colorful than my current boring brown ones. These are the ones I'm thinking about. They're by Tiffany. The color of the frame brings out the color of my eyes, which go from blue to green depending on the weather (really!), how much sleep I've had, and what I'm wearing.

Some months are just like that. I bought some clothes in April, to replace the (too large and/or no longer flattering) ones I've been donating.

And one scarf.

:giggle:

These are so pretty! I have so many pairs of glasses but all are black, brown, white. Boring.

I love these frames. Oh and my eyes are the same. They are a beautiful green when I am upset. I don’t get that.

Yes Greenville is full of them. We lived there Until last year, up on the lake now in the Seneca area. The palmetto bugs live in the trees and fly around. Impossible to keep out of the house if you have trees or water near your house. :annoyed:
 
I’m on a trip and I went to this boutique yesterday. We don’t have this brand in my country, so I make it a point to visit a store when I travel. I was wearing my BV Pillow for a light and easy day.
IMG_8862.JPG
And since this particular boutique is closing in this mall, they have a sale and I got this - oxblood! My favorite Mulbery color!
IMG_8882.JPG

And now I’m being tempted by a Braun Buffel (German brand?) bucket bag. Do I succumb?? We’ll find out in a few days! [emoji16]

Hmmm, maybe I shouldn’t feel bad if I get that Braun Buffel bag after all! [emoji16][emoji3] Btw, what’s stopping me also is that it is more or less the same price as a BV wallet I’m eyeing from the outlet shop of the company that carries BV in my country. So do I get the bag or the wallet? Well, there is no real NEED for either in truth.

I love your pillow! That's the color I fell in love with at BV. It's so different from anything I have.

We know we don't need them, but the question is will you really wear them? I bought stuff I will wear I think. I am trying to get rid of my sport only category and replace with a better fun sport stuff that counts in my regular bag collection if that makes sense.
