Yes it could be argued that H.com is better because you can try on and assess the scarf for awhile without an SA waiting around. And while I don’t like to do returns, with H.com, it’s possible. The funny thing is that while I just don’t like to make snap purchases, through the website, I can because I can return. I guess I’m saying that I don’t like the constant presence of an SA. I need time to think.
I totally agree. This could start a trend!

I love this!

Happy belated birthdays to @Cookiefiend and @momasaurus!

Hopping on the bag wears conversation, I adapted @Sparkletastic's approach of using September as my year-end mark, and I can already tell this is going to be sad. I have worn a bag out of the house just five times since social distancing began (mostly I'm using cotton shopping totes and throwing them in the wash when I get home). I'm calling my 2020 wears a wash at this point. I have some wishlist items, but it's hard to say what I will and won't use right now!
Thank you!
Yes, stats are off for 2020 because no one wants to carry leather into potentially infected places. We will all get back on track at some point, I hope!
 
Happy belated Birthday!:flowers:
Hope you had a wonderful birthday.
Hope everyone who had a birthday recently had a wonderful one.
Thanks, everyone!!! Part of why I milk my bday is that it means summer is over, school and other seasonal things start up again, and that is always happy/sad/confusing for me. And this year, cultural things are NOT starting up again, and that is worrisome and horrible for those in the business.
 
Us Capricorns like stats also… maybe I need Stylebook! :ghi5:
Yes!
It does take time to set up, I did it while Mr Cookie watched 2 minutes of everything :giggle:
You can add the pictures as you wear them, or just make time to add items - the internet pictures are usually good.
I think there's a thread right now… lemme look… https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...lection-and-wardrobe-using-stylebook.1033002/ It gives you a great idea of how it can work.
Poshmark is the same way.
I really hate it

The reason they hold the funds so long is that they are holding the money in an interest bearing account; it’s a major source of revenue for them. And, have I mentioned how much it annoys me.

With our current de-funded post office, bags that took three days to ship priority last month are now taking over a week . Which means that if they sold on posh, it’s 10 days until I get my money.
I honestly haven't had an issue like this with Poshmark. Most of the things I've bought or sold have been delivered in around 3 days (there have been a few that did take longer), and payment - once the buyer has accepted the item - has been pretty seamless.
My BIG complaint about Poshmark is the incredible number of fake items they allow to be sold.
I miss our monthly challenges. What could we do when most of us aren’t going much of anywhere?

Also, this is the time of year we do the bags by brand showcase. I have zero interest in photographing my bags again. Lol! But, I’m happy to post a schedule if everyone else would like to do it again this year. :smile: Yay? Nay?
I miss the challenges too, but - like you - I don't feel like dragging things out just to photograph them.
I wanted to be better about the 'This is what I carried today, even if it was just a card in my pocket', but I haven't been. Last month I did carry 7 different bags, but only posted one or two of them - I can't even remember if I did or not…
I would like to see pictures and I have a fondness for bag 'spills'.
Gah I looked...the tartans are soooo cute! Scarlet for cookie. How about you Elaine? I must resist...but off I go to seek out more tartan. I have a soft spot for plaid and tartan !
I do too - it's my Scottish ancestry!
(that's what I tell myself - I do have Scottish ancestors - but I really just like tartan)
It was hard to return that Leopards Moderne but I'm also holding out for one of the Promenades de Paris, although MeMme is also super cute (what CW?).
I think a Silk'in is in my immediatel future. There are always several on EvilBay.
I forgot about the looting! Were there arrests?
I'm hoping to find MeMme in CW 07!
I haven't checked on arrests or how restoration is going. Sadly, I think both will take time.
 
I hope your packing and move preparations are going well. Huge kudos on outs this year. I am curious to ask what you added to your collection (3 bags in) if you have time/interest to share. I enjoy hearing about and learning from everyone’s curation process. Well done @Vintage Leather. :flowers:
They are already packed, but the three are a vintage 1967 Leiber Chatelaine, a Balenciaga Twiggy, and a Harveys Seatbelt Donald bag.

Just a thought: What if we did at least one showcase of "most used COVID bags" and why. I would truly love to see what people are wearing and using during this time (even if it is just a plastic grocery bag!). I know that my bag usage has really shifted and I have found myself using bags that I might not use every day otherwise.

Yes, please! Every challenge is fun and seeing all the eye candy (maybe again, but now in a different context) is lovely!

It´s definetely your fault @Cookiefiend... last night I fell in the black hole called "wallet search" and actually found something that I liked and that seems to make sense for me. Found a bargain price today after more research and ordered it...
