Took a sec to google wicker baskets. This one is a cutie! View attachment 4710668 But, I don’t know that I want to spend that 1) on a non leather bags 2) on a bag I’ll use seasonally and even then rarely and 3) on Miu Miu since resale isn’t great and they aren’t known for quality.

Hmmm...maybe I can put this on my hunt resale list. I haven’t been hunting but, it will at least keep it on my radar.
You're right… what a cute bag! I didn't see the price?

I’m glad that you are feeling better!!
Thanks
Thanks for the compliments on my bags! :amuse: 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. :doh: 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. :crybaby:
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. :rolleyes: 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.
I haven’t carried it yet. I got sick 2 days after I got it. I’ve been in house on quarantine since. I have such plans for it with dresses and printed outfits.
You got rid of the ivory Flap with the Bijoux chain.....I loved that chain.
 
I have been keeping up with my routine and doing pretty well overall. I still wear jeans daily and some type of top I’d wear out of the house but still maintain my overall casual look. No makeup still! And enjoying my new skincare routine. I will give myself a facial treatment this weekend. We’re trying to this of ways to keep my daughter entertained and this has been my best idea yet. It’s her first birthday next week so I ordered a cake and cupcakes in the theme of her favorite book! I’m looking forward to that, particularly since it means some fancy sweet treats around the house for a couple days.

Love seeing everyone’s beautiful bags and seeing how you all are faring. Stay well, my friends!
Oh my goodness! that is so cute! At first I was wondering if she was sitting on a rug made of rice and how you made that..and then I see the container! What a cool idea! That’s a forever photo!

Happy early birthday to your daughter. I love the idea that you're giving her a little party. I'm guessing that you and your DH will take a ton of pix, and share them with everyone. And with her, too, when she's older! Will you make it a virtual party, so that far-away relatives can join in, or is that JUST too much work???

P.S. What's her favorite book?

Hi Spark,
We have same struggle with items from the store. I of course have not left this house in over a month. DH has forbidden me to leave because of my Health issues and I was sick for 3 weeks. We have extra fridge in garage so when he comes with groceries he wipes everything down in garage and puts in that fridge. Then he gradually bring items into house as we need them.
I'm so sorry to hear that you were sick for such a long time, @missie1 . :sad: Are you better now???
 
Hi yes. It’s the Spring collection 2020. I love it and plan to never wear with anything denim. It will be like a denim jacket. Works with everything and never matches
So if it doesn't get worn with denim, would you wear it (just for example) with black? I don't have a denim bag (though I'm in love with yours!) but I always struggle with how to wear my denim jackets. If you put a denim jacket with jeans, it looks like a (strange) suit. Unless (maybe?) it's a light wash jacket with dark wash jeans.

So how is it done? I have two very nice denim jackets, a light wash and a dark wash, and I never know how to style them other than the obvious pairing with black jeans. :whut:

So You have to think of denim as a neutral and treat it as such. I would wear lighter denim jacket with all white. Especially white jeans and top. You have beautiful scarves to drape around neck and your done. I also wear mine with maxi or pleated midi skirts. It also depends on cut of your denim jacket.
