2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

@dcooney4 my response to you triggered my memory! He did buy me a bag once, a long time ago. Actually a friend bought it and gave it to him to give to me

Oh my goodness. These are some awesome boots!

I think the way you have them without being squeezed together as well as behind cabinet doors works.

Thanks. Unfortunately I’ve run out of space up the top (unless I start throwing away clothes ). I’ve got a few at the bottom of one cupboard but these I use quite frequently. Here is the rest of my collection edited together. It’s the bottom right image that’s below hanging space. It’s modest in comparison to many of you and mostly Mulberry or contemporary. I definitely find it easier to select/switch when I can see them all.

That and the usage spreadsheet with colour representation piechart that I got the idea from this thread. I’m loving seeing that change as I use my bags. It’s fun.

What a beautiful collection. The colors and leathers are so rich!

Thank you @dharma. I’m a real fan of luxurious leather.

Lots of people love the Neverfull. It was light and I liked the shape, especially the ability to pull in the sides. I think I’m just not a big pattern person so I couldn’t quite get my head around it.

The Mulberry shop didn’t have the colour I like in stock so I’ve only seen it online. I did look at other colours which were full price so I know I like the style.

I’m very tempted as I don’t have any open totes like this that could be work and casual. Just wondering how many bags I really can have in my collection before it becomes excessive. Still pausing for now...

I think this is gorgeous! I'm especially partial to this color.

I haven’t used the exterior pockets yet other than for parking passes, but they have been very useful for that purpose. Thank you and yes! I eat from 9:30a-5:30p, which I would say is quite normal hours. I am a big eater and wake up early so usually I’m eating from 6a-7:30p or so. It’s been great so far! And I eat little bits of food outside the timeframe as needed, since I’m still breastfeeding. I mostly let my body tell me what it needs.

I love that beautiful watercolor-esque flower!

Thank you!!

Good for you for taking a pause!! I was eyeing the Onthego MM but took a pause and now I don’t think I’ll get it. I do think these are usable and useful bags though!

In my experience, breastfeeding is the best thing to do to help lose weight. You don't realize how many calories you need to produce breast milk. When I was breastfeeding, I was eating a lot more than usual and still losing weight. I breastfed around a year with each one, and ended up at a lower weight than before I was pregnant.

Amazing!!! Do you speak French? I would be so intimidated to bargain in my cave man French. You should just wear them anytime.

You make me laugh! My French is worse than cave man, but the lovely man spoke English except for the numbers and after I had finally figured out in my head what he was saying I deliberately misunderstood him while discussing the price with my husband in German.
After a while he offered me the price I had "suggested".
Usually I´m really shy when it comes to bargaining in a rather elegant surrounding. This time I was quite bold, though. I don´t think there were many customers in sight for this particular pair of boots and the seller was very obviously interested in making the sale.

I love your bag attitude @More bags ! It´s role model material! In my town there´s no room for special occasions and special occasion bags at all. Most of my poor bags only see the light of day when we go away, some actually live in my parents´ house in a more "civilized" region.
My Galliano bags certainly go well with quirky or casual outfits and I will try to follow your lead and finally USE them. People have got used to seeing me with my simple vintage bags so I should take it a step further.... wouldn´t I always be scared to ruin my bags...

You are so sweet @cowgirlsboots! Bring out your beautiful bags and wear them!

Great looking backpack. Way to go DH!

I might be carrying a blue bag but I’m all pink on the inside.

Lovely bags and SLGs!

My dose of Dior from Paris: Diva boots!
View attachment 4671462

Honestly, I don´t have any idea where to wear them... but leave them behind I couldn´t do. Who knows when another pair in my size, a halfway decent state and at a halfway ok price (after a lot of haggling with the nice owner of one the charming vintage boutiques at the St Ouen market.) will turn up, again.

The little black 40ies bag is the only bag I bought in Paris. It was 5 Euro...

Great looking boots and congratulations on your haggling success!

Wow! Wow! Wow! To both: stunningly dramatic little bag and the boots are just gorgeous. Did I mention I collect high heeled cowboy boots?
Not beauties like these... only the household stuff from the 80ies: Tony Mora and the like of it.

I love burgundy bags!

Good looking leathers!
