2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[Katinahat]

Happy Birthday to your cute Little One!!


As a fellow Mulberry lover, you must know I love your collection!


Love the look!!

Much as I’d like to dress up a teeny bit, the weather is just too hot for anything but shorts and cotton top! No central airconditioning in the house. AC is only at the bedroom and I don’t want to stay there all day. In fact, I’m down a lot because I’ve been cooking a lot too.

I do know you love Mulberry too.

It was 10 degrees Celsius here today. Definitely not shorts weather. I’m not really made for shorts but I’m living in NYDJ skinny jeans, new t shirts in a variety of colours and some new Barbour Sweatshirts I rather like.

That fit perfectly

I like Chanel in unusual fabrics which is why I asked. The most I ever wanted a a new Chanel was when Lagerfeld did a 'dirty denim' collection (I was young). I think it was late 90s, in fact I still like my denim that kind of colour.

I would love to add tweed flap but it’s so deceptively difficult to find the perfect one. I must go see this dirty demin line

And finally it’s brown/tan week

Your closet is so dreamy! As are your beautiful brown bags

I finally dragged myself back to the drawing board (literally and figuratively) this week. Seriously that was a much needed 4 week break. I was in the garden all day weeding, pruning, transplanting etc..one square foot at a time. The weather was perfect..overcast and in the 60’s. I love the garden in the spring....I once said that when I retire, I’d read books, garden, and play golf. I got a taste of that and I like it.

Anyway, In reading Rhl2987’s post on getting dressed every morning ...ummm well yeah, I can’t just roll around in my sweats all day. So for fun, I am sporting one of my spring coats and carrying my Tods tote..which I was carrying back before S.I.P. ( Now, I don’t carry anything.) I love coats so I will try to wear them more. Where I live, I don’t really need a coat, but It’s a holdover from growing up in San Francisco (when it used to be chilly) It is still a habit to always carry a coat..mine are really more like raincoat weight (vs. the heavy wool ones) They sure elevate a dull outfit that my fanciest fleece couldn’t do! I’d add a scarf but I wanted to show the nifty buttons! View attachment 4711260

I completely agree that a coat elevates an outfit and yours is fabulous! You've given me an idea in return! I only wear my warmest, not stylish at all, winter coats when I go outside. I will make an attempt to wear nicer spring coats once it's warm out again and the snow has melted. The weather here has me completely turned upside down. 70's followed by 2 days of snow, it melts, and then starts all over again!!

Beautiful black and grey bags Katinahat! The leather on your Mulberry bags look fabulous. Your cat is a cutie.

You cannot ask me for a favourite bag!

I'll say my BBK sellier just because...but there are so many favourites

Most like me Gucci Bamboo Top-handle. I have been buying more H in the past 5 years but ultimately I am more fashion forward and a bit cheeky like Gucci

Most worn - it couldn't be any other bag. H Evie

Perfect choices! ❤️

You're right! And until last week, I was going out occasionally to the grocery store because I was being careful. Plus, as you say, packages come into the house, so it's impossible to totally quarantine.

And then I went to the grocery store, and five days later I came down with an upper respiratory infection. Of course, you can imagine what I worried about!

Fortunately, it was only (only!) pleurisy. I have a wonderful pulmonologist. She sent me to the hospital (the hospital! eek!) for a chest X-ray, she saw me in her office EARLY the next morning, before any other patients arrived, she listened to my chest, she confirmed that it was only (only!) pleurisy. One week, and lots of prednisone, later… and I'm on the mend.

But. Now Mr. PG and I are banned from all outside-the-house errands other than outdoor walks. We just can't take the chance with my health. And when packages come to the house, they get opened outside and the boxes go directly to recycle. Then we wash our hands for a hundred years.

But of course we're older, and I'm at risk. I don't know that everyone has to be that careful. We're just following my doctor's orders. And I feel much calmer, now that we have a good plan to keep me healthy.

I think everyone has to balance what feels safe with what feels do-able.

Relief that you do not have covid. Hope you recover quickly. Nice if your dr to handle the case so well.

It’s lovely. Mulberry actually emailed me to tell me they thought I’d like that exact bag about two weeks ago. They were right but I’ve been buying too many more causal clothes, Technology for home schooling, garden and other hobbling items to risk a new bag right now. It’s gorgeous though.

Colour handle is a difficult one, so personal but perhaps a bright colour?

I’m was on a pause peninsula from bags because I was working on few jewelry items but then boom I escaped. I have no idea which color handle. It could be that I’m in house bored and have urge to buy.

Let’s have fun and play with our collections a bit. ** PLEASE SHARE PICTURES IF YOU CAN **

I’ll go first.

This is difficult!
I think my favorite is Coach Dakotah
Most like me? I have no idea. Maybe Coach mini Preston because it is small but edgy

Personally, I feel people here have made friends on a particular thread and are supporting each other through an unprecedented time. Some slack should be given and always has been on this thread which covers a wide range of shopping and mutual support on a wide variety of topics. It will all sort itself out in time.

I agree! This is an all-encompassing issue that cannot be designated to one location. This thread has always been about supporting people, no matter the issue.

Speaking of aesthetic. I am so not in mine during quarantine. I’m in a pink Nike zip hoodie, jeans and white Michael Kors sneakers w silver sparkly accents. What stay at home fashion are you all sporting today?

I’m switching between the same 5 pairs of pjs. Luckily DH washes every few days so I never have to bring anymore out. But once this is over I’m throwing these 5 pair away. I do have on my earrings though. A girls gotta have something

Side note. My incredible boredom has caused me to root out wayward extras in the house to sell. Nothing meaningful but all unneeded. Facebook marketplace is great for this. When someone wants to buy, I leave the item on my driveway and then they send me the $$ via cashapp when they pick up. No face to face. No touching.

Happily everyone has been honest. No stolen items. Lol! But, everything is so inexpensive, I wouldn’t be bothered if they did.

I’m going take all the proceeds and split them up as extra tips when I can see my hair stylist, nail tech and wax esthetician. I figure they all have to be pretty hard hit from weeks of not working. This is an easy way for me to help out while I get unneeded things out of my house.

(I swear Mr. S and I do all we can not to have an extra cotton ball. How do some things STILL manage to lurk in hidden spaces?)

That is a great way to get rid of stuff in covid environment!

Thank you papertiger!

There are a lot of youtube instructions available. That's how I learned! Here's one that I've used:

That's a good one,

These came in a series from Liberty dept store many years ago (my SA there at the time). If people click the Liberty channel the scarf tying is all on one 'play all' list

I just watched these videos back to back and they were fabulous. Thanks for sharing. I love the gal’s accent in the second video. Off to play with my scarves now.

Great coat, I like your buttons. I wore a maxi twilly with my chain d’ancre scarf ring today. Your buttons made me think of the similar shape. Stock photo attached.
