Yes -it’s a good sized bag! I think the large would be humongous.
You *do* know how tall I am! I think I like the brown best!
I love the shoes and I prefer the brown bag on you. Good luck with your decision.
Are they the same bag, just different colors?
I'm drawn to the brown one, because of the pop of gold hardware against the warm brown leather. But the real question is: would a brown bag with gold hw fill more of a hole in your collection over a black bag with gunmetal hardware?
Have fun deciding… keep us posted!
@Sparkletastic , so sorry to hear about your DH’s health crisis, but so glad Mr. Sparkle is on the mend. 
@Sparkletastic I sincerely hoping your DH is recovering well. I cannot imagine how difficult this time would have been on all of you. 
Very tough choice! Both are lovely....i am leaning toward the black tho...which one did u go with!
Thanks the brown/ tan and gold win. The other was actually more plum / gunmetal but I am stepping out of the box and going with the tan as I only have one crossbody bag with silver hardware in tan. Dh is getting it as part of my Christmas gift. He likes to go places that gift wrap for him.lol He chose the tan too. I usually go with dark colors in leather.
It is dark plum but I bought the tan . I would normally have chose the darker one because I love pebbled leather but Dh and everyone suggested the tan so I am stepping out of the box.
I'm glad to hear Mr. S is much better. I went through that scare last year with my DH, and then had a scare for myself this year. It really makes you appreciate the time you have together.Hey, all. Sorry, I’ve been AWOL. I think I mentioned, Mr. Sparkle has been quite ill. At one point, we thought we would lose him. I thought I was going to lose my mind. He’s my everything.
But, he’s much better now. So, I’m taking time out to be incredibly grateful, decompress and enjoy the complete lightness of bag candy.
Thanks for keeping us on track. You’re awesome!
Oh no! You look quite chic so I’m sorry the shoes are a no go. Did you wear them a bit before the trip? The last time I was in Paris I took relatively new shoes and completely regretted it. I know better and should have taken ones that were broken in. But, the cuteness factor fogged my brain.
Did you get any new cute finds?
Kudos to you for getting to this key insight. I think it’s the pivotal one needed to truly curate a great collection.
I’m not sure what country you’re in but, in the US and several other countries we are approaching the holiday / buying season. So it’s the best time to offload bags. List them ASAP.
Yes!!! This thread has been so influential in getting me to make the hard calls to sell bags (and clothes and anything else) that I don’t love and use. And except for 2 bags, I haven’t regretted selling any of the 150+ I’ve sold. Pretty good hit rate. I’m learning that if I’m in doubt, just sell it.
Yes! I like the free physical and mental space. Plus I love knowing I haven’t wasted money on bags that sit on shelves / in boxes.
And, when I do buy an item, I find I adore it because I’ve taken time to really consider it. So it’s win / win. No museum pieces and ever upgraded items to wear!
I've never found shapewear that didn't make me look like a sausage so I'm happy to go without.
