Love both bags. You look fantastic! Glad you had a nice time.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!
Thanks. I might need one of these.....Art is worthwhile.
Those do look like excellent travel bags. And elegant too, with nice slim lines.Posting 2 of my bags from ‘other’ brands and at the same time showing where I was last week. I had a great time!

So far I have worn 20 bags for the year end challenge. Still have a few to go but only if the weather permits as they are the more delicate bags. Book wise I am well over 20 but stopped counting and just handed my Mom three more that I forgot to enter too.

I'm enjoying the scarf challenge also, but it will take me well into 2020, LOL. Were there any that you decided you don't "need"?Thank you muchstuff!
Thanks for your kind words Elaine! It was fun wearing each scarf this month.
Lately, because I’ve been so busy and I have a lot on my plate at work, plus the unplanned vacation in Japan, I have not been changing bags much. And the past sales didn’t tempt me as much as before. So I don’t know, maybe I’m becoming less bag obsessed??
Oh and btw, my co-workers were asking me, “what bag did you get during your trip?” And they were surprised when I said none. Lol! The vacation was unplanned and I had to spend (though my sister who I went with paid almost half of the tour package) so no new bags!

Well done!
Awesome job!
Like you - right now I’m really happy about my bag situation. I am eyeballing a couple H bags on eBay but I’m not 100% on either of them, so I might stop?
My clothing is still in the works after losing weight. (and I am patting myself on the back over this - my GYN was astonished - so I apologize for crowing a bit about it
) I have to admit that it’s been hard not to buy “work” clothes, apparently I like dressing up for the office. Right now my biggest goal is also my biggest temptation - to reduce my purchases of H scarves, and to be serious about selling the ones I’m not wearing. Aaarg! This FW season has slain me - so many gorgeous scarves! I know, I know this thread is not about scarves - but that is one for certain goal for next year.
For purses - I will try to curb my ‘Ooo pretty! Let’s get it!’ tendencies. I have noticed lately though, that my current roster of 12 ‘everyday’ bags makes me happy. For example, I really like the Just Campagne bag - even though it is arm carry only - I have no desire to replace it... even if a gold B were to present itself.
So today, December 1st, those are my 2 goals for 2020... I might add a couple more!
I’ll post my November stats tomorrow!
Congrats on your weight loss. Achieving health related goals is tough. You deserve a bit of crowing!Well done!

Restraint is a good thing. If it helps, just keep thinking about how buying new limits your opportunity to wear what you already love. That usually stops my buying.
My Nov stats are quiet - nothing in / nothing out.
I had one bag already up for sale and am listing 2 more today.
I’m contemplating listing a third because I see a bag I want and don’t think owning both makes sense. I get very irritated when I find I “need” to list a bag because the function isn’t quite right. For the millionth time, I wish I could rent some bags to wear for a while before buying.
Other than listing the bags I have a couple pair of sunglasses and 2 pair of shoes to list. I wish I had listed them before today
but with Mr. S’s illness and work, I just haven’t had the time or focus.

Here are photo collages that I made of two brands that I love and collect. I'll try to post a few other rando bag pics later today.
