Well, you live in CA after all, don't you?
I'm so sorry you're having a hard time, @cowgirlsboots . The whole world is in a frightening situation now, and I think everyone has hours (or days, or weeks) when they feel like this. It's the natural human instinct to either run or to curl up into a little ball and hide.
Noooooooo! That's very scary.
As @momasaurus said, we each have to develop our own routines that feel comfortable to us (and to whoever we live with, if we don't live alone). Plus, we're all learning, as the scientists understand more about this virus.
I couldn't bring myself to press the "like" button on this post.We have our share of idiots here too. There was a protest downtown the other day (admittedly, small) by a bunch of conspiracy theorists with placards stating "down with government control".
So, what did you do??? Did you keep the mask on?
The Dior bags!Let’s have fun and play with our collections a bit. ** PLEASE SHARE PICTURES IF YOU CAN **
I’ll go first.
- What is your favorite bag?
- What is the bag that is most “like you”?
- What is your most used bag?
- Favorite - Dior Ltd Edition Diorama in cream and gold View attachment 4710783
- Most like me - Diorama Silver microcannage DioramaView attachment 4710785
- Most used - Fendi Large Black By the Way View attachment 4710784
Thank you!
Leather is Clemence, and the tan colour is Gold/ and the inner color is Hermes classic orange. In the summer months I wear the bag on the orange side.
Thank you it's one of my most used bags!
I agree! I had leopard print fendi baguette back in the day, I regret selling it!Thanks for the compliments on my bags!It’s not that I find the Fendi boring. I like the styling and have even thought of getting a smaller one in red. Plus, the functionality is perfect - I usually hate divided bags but this has a center divided section that just works beautifully. My issue with it is that I’ve worn it so much I’m just dead tired of it.
And, I don’t like that sagging at the bottom corners. I think that is an intentional element of the design but, I don’t have to like it. Lol! I don’t see me ever selling it because it’s so incredibly functional and low key. But, I do need to get another black bag to take off some of the “pressure” to wear. Like I did when I just bought the YSL camera to take pressure off of my LV LockMe II BB.
Right now, however, I’m wearing my Jimmy Choo Raven when I go out. It’s nice to see that bag again as I hadn’t been wearing it. Still loooove the leather!
That’s what I thought as well (good with summer dresses). And I think I could figure out how to wear it better than I could the ivory C jumbo. I’ve never been more happy to offload a bag as when I sold that.
I can totally see you being the LV bucket - great looking, stylish, high quality but unpretentious.
How are you enjoying your denim flap? I thought you were going the Lady Dior route.
Would love to see a photo.
Thanks for the well wishes. I’m so bummed. I had signed up for two dance classes starting in May. Seems neither my toe nor Covid are agreeing with my plans.
If the animal print bag is your personality, we would be fast friends, my dear. I imagine you outgoing, confident, fun loving and quirky.
I wonder if there is an unscented leather lotion you could use on the Dior?
I don’t think anyone is too old for animal print. If anything, before the recent re-awakening to animal print in the last few seasons, most people had started to feel it was for older ladies.I recall a post on tPB a couple years back where they essentially said anyone who carried an animal print bag was kinda loud and dated like a mob wife from the Sopranos. I was a bit off out because I’ve never stopped loving animal print and wish I had a good one in my collection. To me, they are a great “bold” neutral. So, wear your leopard dresses and know that you have better taste than the minions who would be so classless as to comment.
beautiful, all of them! and all of them are on my wishlist!Agreed!All beautiful bags. And, I do see the Bolide being like you. Classic, beautiful, calming (color).
First, congrats on getting the bandages off. Great news! And I'm not gonna ask what the styrofoam cups were for, but I'l admit that a funny image comes to mind!I was out today for a follow up on my foot surgery. When I arrived, they had a sign on the door telling us not to come in but to call and check in. Then they would call when the doctor was ready to see us. So, we could wait in the hall or in our cars. I think that was a great system. (And, good news. No more bandages! Whoop!)
From there I had to go to WalMart to pick up things he told me I needed (oddly, one of them was styrofoam cups) to aid in my recovery. I was extremely frustrated because there was no sanitizer at the door for hands or carts. And, people weren’t keeping any distance.
The governor of my state has said he is going to repeal most of the social distancing requirements to help revive the state economy. In contrast, my politicians in my home state are calling for extended and increased measures.
I don’t think anyone knows what we should do and most are making this up as we go. I think about how a few weeks ago most media was saying masks were of no help or were even a problem because it kept people touching their faces. Now, the CDC (US) recommends we do wear masks. It’s frustrating.
Meanwhile, in lighter news. I’ve only worn two bags since all this started. My bag wear stats are going to be pure awful this year.
Same here. And then, when we do ease back in, we'll prioritize.
Extra tips: what a lovely idea!
Amazing post. Thank you.Firstly
Secondly, please don't be upset or hurt by people laughing because you are being cautious. I have a thread on here about people commenting on me, pointing and laughing at me, and I've had a boss who told me not to let him see my face in the morning because my ugliness ruins his day. I was involved in an accident and have indentations from where my face was broken as a result, and I have some burn marks on my face from an abusive ex who would put his cigarettes out on my cheeks.
Now, I realise this is nothing like your situation but I mean to show you that I'm used to people pointing and laughing rudely when I'm out and about.
The worst is that I overhear parents telling their kids to stay away from the weird looking girl- I don't think they should be teaching their kids that. I imagine what they'd say to their kids if they saw someone disabled or with an amputated limb.
I've had people in grocery stores audibly say that if they had my face they would commit suicide. It's sad that people can openly mock another human being for no reason.
I always make a point to make eye contact with those talking about me and smile the warmest smile I can. Sometimes we need to remind others we are human and we are nice. It snaps them out of their own bubble and makes them stop. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves to be gracious because they don't know any better and it's not their fault that this is their limited thinking.
In any case, they're laughing because you are being sensible and cautious whereas they are being reckless with their lives and those of others. You should hold your head up proudly and let those words roll off of you, because you are the one in the right and they will be grateful for people like you who are helping to fight the spread of covid.
Don't let anyone's ill-informed opinion and bad manners hurt your feelings.
Okay, I'm going back into my hole. Every time I post on this thread it turns into a mini-rant!
