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

[msd_bags]

All this shoe talk is making me want to do a shoe cabinet clean up after my vacation! I have placed recently acquired ones on top of my bag cabinet as I don’t have any more space. I don’t buy really expensive ones as to me shoes are easily expendable.


Tory Burch flats are quite comfortable! I suggest this for those having difficult times with flats.

I think anything edgy and milleniallish is in at the moment but wear anything you feel comfortable and love wearing. I remember when mini skirts was hot back in my teenage years but never felt good trotting around with minimal piece of cloth and getting unwanted stares… I definitely couldn’t wear it with grace thought some of my peers were able to and they looked stunning because they loved the mini style!


Great advice and yup, it seems very überhelming with all the options available and the infomercials looks like skincare ads... a lot of promises plus I have to take into account which my country tax policy favors... I'll study all day today just about investing and bonds too.

I'd be irked away too if any fund advisor would ask unlimited PoA to maintain my funds... If it was limited to certain part then I do understand, because banking sectory (at least in my country) is as heavily regulated as health care so they cannot basicly do anything without PoA on behalf of me. Great you're happy with Schwab.


Alexander McQueen pink sandals looks very cute. My favourite is pair of leather lace-up shoes from late 90s. Of course I've to take it to be re-soled once a while but they are so well made and timeless. No wonder that the company filed bankruptcy. Not enough business if every customer buy a new pair of shoes from them after two decades… I sort of understand why the quality has decreased radically.


I’m using actively maybe 5 pairs but I’ve over 300 pairs so I’m definitely on a ban (or one in one out). I’vent bought a single pair last year and don’t feel the urge to buy anytime soon. I’m more than content with my shoe collection. Major slippery slope had been 70-80 % off from secondary market and that I worked at a shoe importer office where I had access to any pairs in my wildest dream from the brands we presented.


This is my favourite working breed:

@Rhl2987, @Dawn Brockman, @vink
If you can find any of German speaking brands like Rieker, Högl or Gabor, I highly recommend checking them out especially their comfort line with padded insoles!

I feel you @Rhl2987. I guess a bone near my ankle joint is grown lower than average too so ballerinas and sneakers are one of those models I have to try one first but the rest (boots, mules, heels) I can buy without trying.

I never tried those brands you said. I think the German brands I have tried are Dortmund and Josef Seibel. I don’t like their soles and the designs at all. Too wide. They don’t cup my feet nicely. But I’ll keep my eyes for the brands you said. [emoji4]

And I seriously Love those workhorse! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Regarding shoes, I’m surprised and a little pleased to hear so many people saying they don’t like flats! I don’t much care for them either, and everyone I know always acts like that’s an inconceivable opinion and I must just want to suffer in heels because I’m vain. So, high-five to all my fellow flat-haters.

I sold mine! It was so cute but I never used it. I got rid of all my geometric bags too, even though they were the rainbow of colors. Now most of my vintage bags are usable sizes. My smallest is a Sonoma small flap in aqua. I have a non-Coach vintage bag that is really small but it is so cute and it only cost $3.

I love this color! Gorgeous!

This is my only pair of heels and I can run in it. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

But I refuse to go any higher or with smaller heels. This one, although looks weird, has a nice balance just fine.

United Nude, right?? I love that brand!

Shoes.

I shall try to engage with the shoe diaries. However, I don’t generally feel much of an emotional attachment to shoes

And yet I own about a hundred pairs. Much more than the average person and 25x as many as @vink, but 200-ish less than @ipsum

My mother is a shoes person. My father gave her a new shoe cupboard for their last anniversary Before my wedding, she and I went shopping to buy a dozen shoes to coordinate with every colour in my wardrobe

I’m satisfied with my collection. I largely operate a one in one out policy at this stage, and I throw shoes away reasonably frequently. I don’t buy preloved shoes.

I have:
- a cupboard in my office with an excellent mix of choices for heeled pumps (around 10 pairs),
- a series of shoe organisers under the bed which fit about 60 pairs,
- some of the superbrands in boxes (around 15 pairs)
- some boots and sneakers on a shoe rack by the door (around 6 pairs)
- and a stack of more occasional shoes, maybe 30 pairs, including party shoes and beach shoes (an important category for someone who lives in England ) in dust bags, in my party clothes wardrobe. I attend a lot of formal events and parties, so I have a separate party clothes wardrobe.

Of these, I have about 25 superbrands. Mix of brands. Chanel, Prada, Gucci, Ferragamo, Miu Miu, Saint Laurent and Armani.

Why do I have so many shoes? I need lots of categories of shoes. For party wear I do coordinate colours. For work, I wear suits and blazers and I have heeled pumps to coordinate with whatever colour shirt / blazer I’m wearing. I have a lot of ballet pumps for commuting, mostly Prada and Gucci.

I don’t like boots. I have two pairs. My feet feel a bit claustrophobic in boots.

I don’t have many pictures of shoes, but here’s a few I can find on my phone. Two examples of the types of tall heels I wear in office (Chanel, Prada), and 3-4 examples of my “uniform” of ballet pumps (Prada, Miu Miu, Gucci).

Eta: I do feel an emotional attachment to some shoes, just not shoes in general (unlike bags). The navy & black Chanel pumps for example, Mr Dawn chose and gave me as a complete surprise. When I got promoted to Director last year, I started wearing them a lot more because they felt very “power dressing”. Now those shoes make me feel strong

Wow! I wish I could dress like that and coordinate like that. I’ll confess that I grew up with this concept of coordination and changing to match, etc as well, but at one point, I know I prefer sneakers and comfort. I used to wear platforms some time with uniform in undergrad to make it more dressy and womanly, but the rest of the day, I’ll always be in jeans and sneakers. When I started working, I tried again with some heels and stuff, but I had to walk a lot and construction sites aren’t a place for anything but sneakers so.... I guess it’s just fate. I wish I could manage a shoe closet like yours.

I have heard lots of rave fr Tory Burch flats. Maybe after I retire my new Hush Puppies. [emoji4]

I have 3 pairs of TB shoes. The only wearable pair is the flats. They run pretty narrow.

 

[Rhl2987]

Well, I’ve done it and spent the entire morning listing 4 bags and 2 shoes to sell. It takes forever to take the right pictures and write up your description!!! I think my sister will be buying one of my H bags and I’m happy about that because it is a very special one to me. But, I don’t want to have things sitting around that I don’t use, no matter how much I love them!! The funds gained from the sales will go towards baby gear, building a custom closet so that my nice things can be stored beautifully, a rose gold watch for daily use, and an upgraded pair of diamond studs. I need to only add things that I’m certain will be used often! Of course, my bag sales won’t fund all of my wishlist items, but those are my current wishlist items as they stand.

Good for you getting those listings up!
My current goal is to list this coming weekend - I've taken the last few weeks off, since it takes so much time to do them well.

Lucky you! In my 20s 30s 40s, I ran around in heels like they were nothing. In my 50s I blew 3 disks and the nerve damage twisted my feet pretty badly. It’s now really tough to find a comfortable heel. About the only designer shoe I can wear in a heel is a Stuart Weitzman. Sigh.

OMG! I’m so sorry! If I may ask, how did you incur the damage to your disks

Frankly speaking, I don’t like flats. They’re too flat and not comfortable. I’ve tried them all; Chanel, Tods, Ferragamo, Next, etc. whatever people raves about. I prefer sneakers and Hush puppies. Clarks sometimes.

When I say “flats” I mean anything without a high heel - ballet flats, loafers, sneakers, etc.
But, I get your point. Most flats don’t have any support.

This is my only pair of heels and I can run in it. [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]


But I refuse to go any higher or with smaller heels. This one, although looks weird, has a nice balance just fine.

The unique heel is cool. I’m surprised you can run in them with no strap across the back of the heel.

Surprisingly, Michael Kors has really comfortable flats. My personal goto favourites are Cole Haan, and MK for work; I recently discovered a brand called Vionic (can find them at Nordstrom) but their styles are hit and miss but I believe they are designed by actual foot doctors. Coach shoes are quite comfy too.

I tried some MK flats and they hurt too.
I’ll try the Vionic brand.

I don’t know how I forgot. I do have one pair of super comfy ballet flats: Josef Seibel Pippa. I wear these for work when I have site visits. I also will wear them to the mall or other times I have to walk a lot and sneakers aren’t appropriate. They aren’t very cute but they are very well padded and have good support. They also don’t rub the back of my heel. (Image not mine. I found it on google)

I think anything edgy and milleniallish is in at the moment but wear anything you feel comfortable and love wearing. I remember when mini skirts was hot back in my teenage years but never felt good trotting around with minimal piece of cloth and getting unwanted stares… I definitely couldn’t wear it with grace thought some of my peers were able to and they looked stunning because they loved the mini style!

This is funny. I don’t associate rock studs with Millenials or younger women. I associate them with very stylish women who are 35+.

Lol! On the working breed.

Has the quality of AMQ’s gone down? Dang it. Just when I discover the brand.

I would post in the glass slipper section about comfortable shoes but I doubt it would help. I posted once before to find suggestions on comfortable heels for work and had people saying Laboutins and Choos and Blahniks were comfortable. C’mon now. They may not be painful but they aren’t comfortable walk around all day shoes. For work, I like these from Naturalizer. They have a number of features for comfort: good padding, rounded toe, heel back isn’t too high toe box isn’t too short and the heel while high isn’t very high and is a little wider than a stilletto for stability. They aren’t “sexy” or “edgy” or even pretty. But they are smart looking and professional without looking like an old fashioned orthopedic shoe. And they come in a ton of colors from black to navy to beige to brown and more. So they work! I just make up for style (as much as is appropriate for work) in my dresses and suits.

 

[Sparkletastic]

Lovely! Can tell you like the round toe shoes [emoji4]

I think the shape of a shoe’s toe box can be really important for comfort.

I already mentioned I’m not a fan of extremely pointy shoes. They’re pretty but tend to hurt my toes. The funny thing is though. Other than my work shoes, all of my current closed in pumps are pointed toe because they’re super cute and they’re comfortable. That’s a crazy rare combo for me.

But, in general, I tend to look for almond toe shoes. I get some of the sleek look of a pointed toe without the toe scrunch.

Regarding shoes, I’m surprised and a little pleased to hear so many people saying they don’t like flats! I don’t much care for them either, and everyone I know always acts like that’s an inconceivable opinion and I must just want to suffer in heels because I’m vain. So, high-five to all my fellow flat-haters.

to you too on the love heels, hate flats club. ROFL!!!

Congratulations!! Good job!

I’ll bet having some clearly defined goals will make your selling all the more satisfying.

 

[Sparkletastic]

It’s the first of the year so, I’ll throw out another topic that I’ll be wrestling with a bit which is diet and exercise. Exercise later...diet drama now. LOL!

I typically eat a Paleo diet - no sugar, processed foods, grains (breads, pastas, rice, etc), beans. I modify it a bit as I do eat cheese and hummus and will eat a dessert every blue moon if I feel like it without any guilt.

I eat this way because I wanted to eat healthfully but not feel like I was sacrificing anything. And “my Paleo” means I get to eat the things I love - seafood, veggies, fruit, bacon (bacon!!!!), Brie, olives, etc. and stay slim without ever counting calories, weighing food, etc. (I’m not slim by nature or culture so I had to find an easy path.) I don’t like rice or pasta anyway. So, it’s win / win.

But!!!! My name is Sparkle and I’m a sugar-holic. If I “get off” sugar, I never want any. Not sodas, not cookies, nothing. It’s not even tempting. But, if I start eating sugar, the monster comes back and I crave it all day and night.

Well, what did my dumb bunny self do over the holidays? I ate sugar. One of my agencies sent me a huge box of my favorites - Cheryl’s cookies - for Thanksgiving and I tore into them like a ravenous wolf. That led to a slice of cake here, a taste of cobbler there and voila! I’m addicted again. Plus, I gained 6 lbs...all in the wrong places.



So, I’m going cold turkey no sugar. It’s only 1pm here and I’m already ready to track down and hold Willy Wonka hostage at gunpoint if he doesn’t give up some caramels. My family is in witness protection as I rage around the house snarling and threatening anyone who knows where the last of the peach cobbler is and won’t share.

I know this fiending for sugar will go away after about 7 days. And, I’ll actually be happy to be “clean” because I can taste all of my food so much better when I’m not eating sugar. But, ohmigoodness, while I’m in the battle, it’s h-e-double hockey sticks!

Anyone else bravely starting or restarting a healthy approach for the new year?

I eat whatever I want November and December. I am pretty tight with carbs the rest of the year. Like you, when I release the sugar fiend, it becomes uncontrollable. But starting tomorrow, anything left is thrown out and the discipline restarts. It keeps me within about 7 lbs of my ideal year round.

I work out a lot - January through October. I run/walk or use an Ellptical and lift almost every morning for an hour. I do a lot of pushups and planks. I ride a stationary bike about 50 minutes most days. At 60, it takes a lot of effort.

But I am a crazy holiday person. My routines all fall by the wayside over the holidays and I cook and bake and decorate and celebrate and EAT.
No time to work out!

lol on the working breed! That should have been entered in the ugly bag competition.
I have a similar problem with my ankle bone hurting with some shoes. I think my bone sticks out too much. It is worst on some flats because the tops of them graze the bottom of my bone.

Regarding shoes, I’m surprised and a little pleased to hear so many people saying they don’t like flats! I don’t much care for them either, and everyone I know always acts like that’s an inconceivable opinion and I must just want to suffer in heels because I’m vain.

I don't have a problem with all low shoes, just flats, especially ballerina type. Many sneakers have good support. I don't think I need a lot of support as I wear Uggs a lot. The fur provides lots of cushioning. Flats are just too flat and un-cushioned, plus I have the problem with them hitting my ankle bones.

When I was younger I wore heels for work, even wore them while commuting. I can't say they were comfortable, but I didn't have a problem with them except when the heel was really high. I had one pair of 5 inch heels that I could only wear for about 5 minutes.

No time to work out!

We are a lot alike! I use the elliptical and lift weights at 5am 5 days a week M-F. (No running though) I skip some days here or there when I travel. I never go to a gym on the weekends because I want to sleep in and play. LOL!

And, like you, my workouts and diet are usually more lax in Nov & Dec because of the holidays and my bday is in December. So it’s a lot of fun activities and fun food. I just usually don’t give in completely to the sugar monster like I did this year.

2018 overall, however, was abysmal for workouts. I hurt my knee in Feb, had knee surgery in June, eye surgery in July and toe surgery in August. Lots of rehab. My workout schedule has gone the way of the dodo bird. As a result of all that, I lost weight (working out makes me hungry), and got soft. Ugh. Then I gained 6 lbs of pure fat. Double ugh!

So I need to get back in the gym tomorrow but will have to go back slowly. More on that when I get started.
