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

Yesterday: View attachment 4588114 View attachment 4588115 Carried my orange Trim 31 in gulliver (swift) leather. Most of my H bags have some little flaw (because all are from the secondary market), which means I'm not afraid to actually use them. (Because it's a closet, not a museum.) This one has a little mark (like a small pencil line) that I haven't tried to clean because I don't know enough about this leather.

I know H use one of those large, soft, clear erasers in the first instance foe some marks (not biro or pen). Sensational little bag. I missed out on a barenia Trim (35) but the mark on the front was just too noticeable to get past. Little marks are path of the course (unless buying new).

I have started to rotate slgs a bit too. Not as often as my bags but it feels good to finally use some of my matchy matchy stuff. Today’s bag was the LV papillon 30 in de and mini zipped wallet also in de. I can’t remember it’s name at the moment. It was fun to use both pieces.

That sounds very well put together, I admire that.

I have plenty of SLGs but can never find the right one at the time needed. I must to back to preparing outfits the night before.

I get this. At least I try to alternate shoulders....
Have you seen the re-released Kelly Danse? A Kelly fannypack. I can't even.

I saw the article on The Purse Blog. She writes very well, and of course I understand that she's only reporting, not endorsing, but… no. Nope. Nisht. Not even in an alternate universe.

I had an interview today so hope all went as well as inside my head. I carried my black Evie plus RH Box Bolide. Good thing DH drove me as it poured on the way home.

No problems with the mink sale. She loved it and gave great feedback. I know I could have got more for it if I could have been more patient but sometimes I just have to get rid of stuff once I've made up my mind.

I've just been rereading through the thread and saw this post. Did I not reply? Apologies dear Elaine.

The clutch is from AW2002, so one of the first bags Frida G. created for Tom Ford when she became head of handbags and he was still CD. Wow, almost 20 years ago OMG. I was still at uni and spent every penny of my living allowance on fashion (so not much has changed ha ha). I still have the springbok fur jacket with emperor sleeves from the same collection (a Christmas pressie) and 'harem' pants from the same year.

I just love your sense of style. How great that you're still wearing clothes you bought 20 years ago.

Best of luck on that interview. Will you hear soon?
And I'm so glad to hear the mink sale went through smoothly. ikwym about wanting something OUT OF THE CLOSET once you make up your mind. Even if you lose a bit of $$$. I've been in a closet-clearing mood recently. Linen closet was last night. Now I have a big pile of sheets & towels, ready to go to either the thrift shop or the animal shelter, whoever wants them. And I won't twitch every time I open that door!

Thank you, I hope to hear soon.

Exactly. It gets to the point when I just don't want to open that wardrobe door anymore.

Fingers crossed you get the job. I feel the same way about getting things out of the closet once I have decided it needs to go.

Best wishes on the interview - I can’t imagine that you were anything other than amazing.
I’m so glad the sale went fine!

Ladies - might impose upon you all for a bit of sartorial advice?
We’re leaving for Paris in two days and I’m trying to pack sensibly. We had two nice dinners set and I’ll be wearing a skirt - so I’d like to wear a heel. But - which pair?
Both are comfortable, both are black. One has a very low heel, one has a mid-height chunky heel.


Opinions? TIA!

The low heel to me is a little more chic.

I believe we're Miu Miu, Mulberry, and Tory Burch this week.
