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.

I think you just summed up exactly how I’m feeling - my lack of bags this year is probably a result of other priorities that need my attention, and I do feel less passionate about bags and shopping. Definitely don’t have the same energy as I did before; not 100 percent sure if my lack of interest is because no bags are speaking to me, or overall I’m just less enthused, but i definitely feel a shift in interest level. I still love admiring a beautiful bag but I don’t have the energy to pick up my cc and buy it lol.

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. View attachment 4604236 View attachment 4604242

I wish I felt the way you do about bags. I find I look at them more when real life is stressful. My saving Grace is this year I really got into selling or giving away things that aren’t working for me. So I now have lots of open space in the bag section of my closet.

My Nov stats are quiet - nothing in / nothing out.

I had one bag already up for sale and am listing 2 more today. :sad: 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 :facepalm: but with Mr. S’s illness and work, I just haven’t had the time or focus.

I would LOVE the chance to try out bags before buying. Once you figure out a bag doesn't work, it's too late to return or exchange, even if that were ever possible.

it took me a while to branch out into color, and I'm finding that I'm getting bolder with it. The key for me is that I have a fairly defined wardrobe palette, so my bags coordinate with pretty much anything I wear. It actually simplifies things a lot!

What is your wardrobe color Palette? What would you say your style is? Next year I want to focus less on bags and more on my personal style.

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.

Great stats for November!

You read 20 books in November, or 20 books this year??????? (I'm guessing for the year, but maybe you listen to audio books during a long commute?)

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 :angel:) 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!

Good for you, about your weight loss. It's always nice when one of your doctors is impressed… you are definitely entitled to crow!

I wasn't tempted by any of the F/W H scarves, but I did do a bit of damage on the reseller sites, so I have the same goal as you. Either no new scarf purchases, or (giving myself a little leeway here, lol!) only if it's something super-special.
