Who wouldn't?!Thanks, I have a thing for purple.
Posting 2 of my bags from ‘other’ brands and at the same time showing where I was last week. I had a great time!
MCM Clara medium hobo - not her best photo during the trip, but can you see where I was?
It’s already winter in Sapporo! My bag got snowed on later that day, but she’s fine. Sprayed her with one coat of Collonil (last minute) before leaving for the trip. Btw, we had an early morning flight and upon arrival the tour already began. I’m all bunched up but I forgot about matching the bag with the outer coat. 
This MCM is really working very well for me. And she’s perfect for both shoulder and crossbody carry!
Next is my Tumi Canton bag. She’s served me well during trips!
I hope I can come back to Sapporo again!

These are terrific stats, especially the 1 in, 1 out policy on bags. (Oh, and wearing ALL your scarves. Yay!)
November stats
2 bags out, I've got 1 coming in but I haven't gotten it yet
2 SLGs out, I've got 2 coming but I haven't gotten them yet
There is a chance I won't keep all the stuff coming in. The bag I bought was much cheaper than the two I sold.
My purchasing in 2019 is way down compared to previous years. I'll wait until year end to figure out my yearly stats.

Kudos on the restraint for this year!
Egg’s comments made me realize we are ending a year and need to start thinking of handbag collection goals for next year. Anyone have an idea of what they want to do?
My overall goal is to always streamline while upgrading. For bags, that translates to me holding to no more than 2-3 in and perhaps 1 out. But, honestly, my bags are doing just fine. I need to keep translating the principles I learned here to my wardrobe. Honestly, I’m doing pretty well on that front but, I do still have opportunity. My shoes are my weakest element.
So, what are you all contemplating?
I'm just going to continue what I've been doing. I think I'm not as passionate about new purses as I used to be. Other things have taken priority. I don't have the energy or compulsion to shop much. I guess I want to still reduce my collection, but I'm also inspired by what someone posted on another thread. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...-support-group.894409/page-3273#post-33460739 I'm sure there is a happy medium somewhere between being completely austere and surrounding ourselves with material things we love.
There absolutely is. I’m pretty much there.
Thank you muchstuff!
Thanks for your kind words Elaine! It was fun wearing each scarf this month.
