For orange week: my Dalvy is technically “brique” but often looks orange. 
2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

I forgot to mention that in the red and pink bag challenge for February, I successfully carried all my red and pink bags, including my new pink bag, but I ran out of time for the burgundy bags.
I carried 8 bags (not all red and pink.)
I didn't keep track of how many books I read but it was probably 3 or 4. It typically takes me a a week to 10 days to finish a 300-400 page book. My library books were due yesterday but there was one I hadn't finished. I had already renewed it the maximum number of times. I asked at the library if they would check it back in and then check it back out to me, but they said they aren't allowed to do that. They told me to just keep it until I was done. They've gotten rid of fines so nothing really happens until you are overdue 45 days - then they charge you the cost of the book. I feel like an outlaw, keeping an overdue book!

Hah! Love your final comment! I’m with you on that one. ☺️
You’ve done really well. Especially wearing 14 bags in one month, that’s very impressive!February stats!
* Wear Your Red and Pink Bags Challenge for Feb - I wore the H Drag 2, the Ferragamo Studio and the MZ Wallace Mini Sutton all at least once, but the MZ Wallace was worn 4 times. Success!
* Bags in - 0, Bags out - 0. I think I'm going to trot the Danse Lente to the Salvation Army on Tuesday - I'm over it!
* I wore 14 bags in February.
* Scarves in - 2, Scarves out - 2 (Yay!). The scarves = the Tigre Royal Fleuri bandana in pink, and a 'Research' 140 moussie - Naissance d'Une Idee in green (for my upcoming theme week). I have a weakness for scarves with words/writing on them.
(Shhhhh scarfies - I haven't announced either yet on the SOTD thread!)
(Also - the Team Scarf Mistresses have taken to calling the scarves we purchase for a certain week as Research… for the good of all mankind don'tcha know!)
Only finished one book - and it was a poetry book, so it wasn't like reading a novel.
Good reading of books, I’ve spent so much time reading tPF that I’ve not managed many books! ☺️
Such a beautiful Dalvy! (Both are!)
Brique does show very orange sometimes!
Great bag usage! Well done. I didn’t even think about adding in clothing to my list!
Thank you!
I’m really trying to wear them all - you know that whole Shop My Own Closet thing.. but I often fail.
I almost bought another black bag last week... thank goodness my offer wasn’t accepted - because I had just bought that Nancy Gonzales bag and I forgot about it! Shame on me!
Sometimes the urge is just too much! Sounds like it worked out okay in the end.
Thank you! Look how different it appears in different light. Also it’s chèvre, so a bit shiny.
I have lots of brown/tan/natural bags to post for that week.
I carried it for the grocery run tonight!
It wasn´t half as annoying as I had feared.
Usually I go without a handbag, wallet stuffed in my bra when I need free hands, so taking any bag is a challenge. The Lovely hangs nicely from the crook of my arm, doesn´t get in the way, doesn´t get caught anywhere, stays closed and opens easily, but not too easily to get my wallet out at the cash register. Not bad!
It´s so thoughtless and unnecessary to pack carelessly. Items might get damaged and even if they don´t- this bag at least came in a very sturdy box- the buyer will have no pleasure in unwrapping.
Each and every little item I sell will be wrapped in tissue paper, sometimes with a bow and well padded. I love to receive nice parcels so I send them out, too.
The worst and most frustrating package I ever got was for a YSL Tom ford Rive Gauche bag from around 2001. I had bought it on ebay for 65 Euro from some house clearance people. It arrived in a dirty destroyed box held together with sticky tape and inside was wrapped into a dusty green bin liner. The bag is the real thing and beautiful, but it took me a while to overcome the frustration of the packing. It felt so wrong!
For me the black works best and gives the bag the chance to be worn. I totally adore the leopard print pony fur with the red velvet and gold dice, but it would be a showcase item.
Leopard print is one thing and I´m not afraid of it. Combined with red- fine for me. But as soon as the golden chains and huge dice enter the game I know it would look silly on me and most likely cheap.
