It must be the influence of this thread but I'm going to take a hard look at my closet and sell off anything that's at all questionable for my needs. No matter how much I love it...I hope I don't hate myself for it down the line :panic:...

Just get rid of the ones that annoy you when you wear them for starters or anything you don’t love anymore. I just got rid of a bag that worked but I had others like it so I rarely grabbed it.

One bag came that was final sale. It was gorgeous but my shoulder immediately protested before I even finished taking the wrapping off. Luckily a friend of mine said if it comes and doesn't work for me she would buy it from me. So in and out the same day. I won't be counting it at all. Such a pity because the color was stunning. This fall I have worn almost all my fall winter bags, not all this month though. Two I wore this month as soon as I was done wearing them I put them up for sale at a great value and out they went. I get so excited when I look at the space I in my closet till I remember that the consignment shop still has quite a few bags. These challenges have really helped me this year. I have now sold most of my large totes. I am still looking for a small one with a long strap drop but it seems to be elusive.

We are here to help! We've all had to downsize for various reasons, and it almost always feels GREAT!

So far I have worn 16 different bags this month. How is everyone else doing with the challenge?

Nice! That's great!
I've worn 8 bags so far this month - I got 'stuck' in the LV Lock Me bucket for a few days :giggle: - I really like that bag!
8 bags = Coach Dinky, Ferragamo 'Sofia', Hermes Drag and Kelly, LV Lock Me and Pallas, Proenza Schouler PS Courier Small (will show tomorrow - have to take a pic), and the Longchamp Le Pliage Neo.

Back home - woot!
We had a lovely time in Paris, but I’m reporting back about the shoe question...
I did bring the ones with the chunky heel and wore them twice.

And that’s the last time I’ll ever wear them again. They were SO uncomfortable. They fit fine when I bought them, but the first time I wore them, my feet kept sliding forward in them (even though I wasn’t wearing hosiery), so I thought I’d just put gel pads at the ball of my foot and would be okay. Nope-ity, nope nope.
They are well made shoes, but too wide. Humbug!

I’ve sold many bags in the past so it’s not a new thing for me but I’ve realized that there are definitely bags in my collection that I’m hanging onto for no good reason. I know the feeling I get when I carry a bag and it simply works for me. That’s what I need from every bag in my closet. The work begins...but it’s such a bad time to sell, the market’s sooooo slowwwww.

That’s a shame, they look great on you. But yes, comfort first!

That's too bad! I feel your pain. My feet are narrow so I always have that problem. I've learned never to bring new shoes when traveling. I always bring the ones that have been tested with lots of walking already. That's true for bags too. I brought a bag I thought would be great on a trip and by the second or third day, my shoulder was aching.
