Thank you so much!! I love this new dress (by a new designer I've found this year, Osei Duro) and it's the second time I've worn it in a couple weeks.Both you and your new bag look absolutely fabulous! I love your dress together with white trainers which really show the Mini R off!

My green garden party. Not pictured are my olive toile and Rouge H box BOLIDE (which you’ve seen) and a BV intrecciato wallet. 
It’s March, so I’m a little late here, but better late than never.
Goal for 2020 and beyond — 2 Hermes bags per year, and only if they are on my permanent wishlist
I decided to keep my goal simple. I told my Hermes SA this goal today — of course, she wasn’t thrilled, but I’ve become more and more concerned with conspicuous consumption and am wanting to scale back. I know others on here can probably relate.
Also, I’ve been fortunate enough to still currently enjoy all my purchases since I’ve started in 2015. I’m trying to make efforts to keep it this way. I’ve found that being critically discerning has been helpful along the way.

I went to the designer outlet of the company that carries a lot of the high end brands here. There is a special feature for Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Loewe, Bottega Veneta and Alexander McQueen. Lo and behold, they have the East Side bag from Saint Laurent!
In the past couple of weeks, I have set myself to finding my perfect red bag. It’s a gap in my collection. Though I may have several red bags, I’m still looking for the right crook of arm carry style. I have 2 candidates as to style - Saint Laurent East Side and Burberry Title bag with 2 handles. For the latter, I’m not sure that there already exists the 2-handle version in red (there is black, beige-y and monogram). There is a 1-handle version in red but I prefer 2 handles.
Upon looking at the East Side in different lighting there in the store, I was almost sure it is not a true red, but rather a brick red. My heart sank because I thought I already found THE red bag. But it’s a nice feeling to be able to walk away instead of settling!
This is the bag I want:
Instead, I went for the card case from BV (discounted) that I have wanted for a while but exceeded the de minimis (in terms of paying duties and taxes).

Congratulations on your new B and mini Roulis. You look beautiful, great outfit and especially the smile.
March 8th has come and we are finally on a bag colour I own! 
Does this mean I should diversify (excuse to buy!?!) or just that I know what works for me.

Beautiful greens! I really think I might need a green bag.
