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

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.

I’m also TRYING to be wiser in purchasing. [emoji3]

Here is the bag I’m thinking of - maybe the brown one.

As of this hour my decision is not to get it. I will probably wear it only for a couple of times then I will tire of it. On the other hand this is exactly the style (bucket that has a good strap drop) that I like.

Does it have slip pockets for your phone? If not then it will be a bottomless pit. If it does then I like it a lot.
 
The little black cross body I wore yesterday. The others are what I got. They did not have the silver back I wanted so I got the two tone tin/steel one because it can be worn crossbody or change it’s shape to a duffle and be worn on the shoulder. It has a fun cheerful yellow interior.

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.

And since this particular boutique is closing in this mall, they have a sale and I got this - oxblood! My favorite Mulbery color!

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]
So glad you gound something in oxblood... I know you've been looking for that color. Love the postman lock on the bracelet.

Love your new bags! Are they all MZ Wallace? I like the subtle pattern on the tin/steel one. The pop of yellow on the inside is a great bonus. :sunshine:

Very cute - I really like the small silver one with the subtle pattern!
(A pop of yellow always makes my day :heart:)
 
BWAHAHAHAA - ohmigoodness - you just made my day!
Here’s what I immediately thought of...

Well - that and the snake I found in the basement last year. [emoji15]
Spiders don’t bother me but, that spider right there would give me a creeps! Lol!
funny how I find rats to be disgusting, but I love bunnies! I would be so sad if it was dead. I had to scoop a dead bird out of the pool a few weeks ago.


I don't care for snakes, but I love lizards. Put some legs on it and I think it is cute.
I can tolerate the look of bunnies. Don’t like them but can tolerate them. But, when it was dead on the garage floor, my brain went to Killer Rat! That’s what a phobia will do to you. :whut:
Oddly, I like lizards (had them as pets) and am fine with snakes.
We don't get cockroaches here, or at least I've never seen any, but we do get slugs. Yuck. I read online that the answer was to put down a pie-tin filled with beer, which would attract the little dudes. I don't know if they were supposed to drink the stuff and then stagger away down the block to someone else's house, or if it was supposed to dissolve them. But I did pour some beer into a glass pie pan that I wasn't particularly using for anything else, and I haven't seen any slug trails since. So either they've gone searching for a better party, or else they've gone up in a puff of smoke. Either way is fine with me! :tup:
ROFL on the slugs doing a drunken - but grateful - pub crawl (slither?) through your neighborhood. :rofl:
Ok back to bags. How is everyone doing with the challenges if you chose one? I was sweating it for a while but the one bag I wanted gone sold and I will deliver it in person. I gave one slg away as the gift with purchase and sold two more. I still have some more slgs I would like gone. The bags I have at consignment are all bags I like but rarely use, so if they don't sell I wont be devastated but I still would like them gone. I like the open space. I have also been getting rid of my silver jewelry from years ago. That ironically has been moving. She even told me I could bring nonprecious jewelry and that stuff is really moving. I sent a multi colored glass heart necklace on a silk cord and it went right away. Who knew!
I haven’t done well on challenges at all. I’ve been working too much to wear my fun bags a lot.
It’s here!

And it’s fabulous - I’m just thrilled!
It holds more than I thought it would - it fits all my things (wallet, sunglasses, checkbook, phone, small cosmetic bag, and epi-pen easily. The chain is long enough that I can wear it crossbody (incredible), I didn’t realize it was half silver and half gold (which is awesome) and it comes off if I want to carry the purse as a clutch or if I wanted to put a red fun strap on instead.
This is going to be a great addition! [emoji173]️
Thanks again @Sparkletastic!
Yay! I’m so glad you’re happy! Wear her in happy good heath!

All are Mz Wallace except the black one with the flower . That is an Italian brand called Roberta Pieri. My sensitive shoulders are very happy with my choices. Lol. The tin / steel is the color block one. The second one with the pattern is basketweave.

I love this! It is exactly the type of bag I find so easy to wear.
 
This month is going by so quickly. Fashion wise what styles are you drawn to? I have been trying to add to my wardrobe, but I keep struggling. Can you tell me some of your favorite styles and how you coordinate them? I am tall with a long torso and a lot of tops aren't long enough and I am not in to showing my belly. lol I do have long slim legs but not a slim waist. So if you like to play stylist ,I am more then happy to take suggestions.
