That's a hysterical story about your Mom shocking your daughter! Thinking of Filene's Basement in Boston reminded me of a store in NYC called Loehmann's. Originally it was just one store, in Brooklyn; eventually there were a number of them. At least Loehmann's had dressing rooms (sort of). One giant dressing room, with full-length mirrors placed around the edges of the wall, and a hook beside each mirror. No dividers, no curtains. Just a mirror and a hook. The hook was VERY IMPORTANT. You would put your "finds" on the hook, and that was how you staked out your space. Then you would strip down to as little or as much as made you nervous (you would have taken off your coat; your Mom wouldn't have had ANY trouble!) and tried on clothes. Often, the other ladies around you would chime in with their opinions. And, gosh, they could be RUDE!!!

Am I the only transpalnted New Yorker here who remembers Loehman's?

I totally remember Loehmanns. THE BACK ROOM!!! There was one near me here in CT until about 5 years ago when they all closed. Like many New Englanders who give directions using phantom landmarks, people still refer to the area as Loehmanns Plaza, LOL.

The back room was where it was possible to buy "seconds" of designer clothes, isn't that right? There was a Loehmann's someplace in Westchester County, near my parents, and when I was in grad school (and perpetually broke) my Mom would take me to the Loehmann's back room to find me something decent to wear. :biggrin:

Bag for this past werk..Lindy 25 Verso (thanks Morebags for reminding me of the name!)
This is gold with the red interior with the GHW. I discovered this while at the 2018 H national meeting In Las Vegas with Lanit & company at Crystals. Had to have it! I am a total sucker for contrast interiors. I really really like the end pockets..2 on inside and 2 outside

Here is the bag spill View attachment 4678941
It took remarkable determination and stamina to get this Venice pochette, which has the cobalt interior that matches the tab and the water! I changed out my wallet as part of my weekly SLG commitment. This is a YSL from the Tom Ford (I think this is this right) And the rest of my usual stuff.

Here she is, all loaded up..see the pockets? I liked using her so much that I may not switch for this coming week.

One more green SLG to share for green theme. Atout GM is Vert Vertigo with Vert Cypress inside. This pouch is so handy and versatile! I use it for travel to hold my passport and Calvis and bills. Combined with my Game silver chain necklace, it becomes an evening clutch! Plus a lot less expensive than buying another bag.

February stats
I did well this month. I was tempted by a black Balenciaga city from a re-sale site, really great price! but I didn’t pull the trigger. I was shocked at the prices! Back in my days of buying Balenciaga bags the prices on the re-sale market was astronomical!

I used 5 out of 7 bags this month ( a lot for me!) this thread really inspired to rotate and use my bags, including my red trim for February red/pink challenge
0 bags in – 0 bags out.
1 Hermes red bag charm (tutti fruit pomme )

I will have one bag purchase from H in the coming months, ( an Evelyne) I’m just not sure what colour to buy, I’m torn between Noir, Bleu Nuit, Etoupe or Etain. 2 scarves, 1 from spring summer 2020, and a past season shawl from the 2020 Paris summer sale. 2 cashmere cardigans and a silk skirt from an ethical sustainable company, a parka for next winter, and a pair of leather slides for the summer. After that, I will be on save mode for my Paris trip in 2021 and the opening of the H store in my area, also in 2021.

Congratulations on your bag rotation! I recall you have a tightly curated collection. How exciting to plan for your next bag. I have an Evelyne and it was my most frequently carried bag in 2019. I think you can’t go wrong with any of the colours you mentioned. Mine is PM size in Etoupe and I carry her in all seasons, a wonderful crossbody bag with lots of capacity. I look forward to seeing what colour you choose!
