For me, it very much depends on whom I’m meeting with and the purpose of the meeting. For events that I have had to run or present (I have had 3) I have worn dresses or a nice blouse and blazers. I have found blazers to be key on zoom calls in terms of making me feel and look pulled together. For meetings with colleagues I am much more casual. When I teach I’m somewhere in between. I will keep shawls and nice cardigans handy for these types of meetings.

I will say that I havent worn shoes in some time. My Ugg’s have been super comfy!

Which reminds me, the other day I wore a blazer since I made a presentation to a group outside of my organization. But, for bottomwear, I had on a pair of shorts!! Lol!

I just ordered another one in cranberry!!! I am thinking of giving one of them to my daughter. Looking forward to seeing cranberry IRL.

Cranberry is stunning. I received it as a gift this month. I normally don't wear red , but this is a beautiful easy to wear red. I have already worn it. I find this to be the easiest to use bag I have had in a long time.

That was my problem, too, until I popped for Robe du Soir in the navy, white, & silver colorway. Folded on the bias and tied any-old-whichway, it goes with anything. Even a black sweater, because the navy is so dark.

It also looks nice on Zoom calls, interestingly, because it doesn't "fight" with my glasses, which are medium-blue.

The things we have to consider when getting dressed these days! :annoyed:

Oh I kick myself for not getting that scarf when I was fondling it in the boutique. That is the best CW and the rope-y details are so wonderful.

A question for those who do work related Zoom/video calls? Do you dress for it as if you were going to the office? I don’t. I do dress for it more than how I would if I’m just staying home though. But not at the same level pre-covid in the office. I’ve noticed that some of our legislators are super dressed down during congressional hearings even.

I wear (from top to bottom): lipstick, an Hermes scarf, some kind of blouse, then yoga pants and slippers.

I have a couple purses scheduled to be delivered on Monday but I'm not sure I'll keep either of them. They are similar so if I'm tempted to keep, it will only be one of them.

Please share the incoming purses with us- even if all of them will go back, I´d enjoy looking at them.

It's about learning the threshold of what I can and cannot accept in an item. While we have to accept certain things in life, we don't have to make sacrifices when it comes to our handbags. It's really unfortunate about the Gucci. When I purchased it, I was fully aware that there were some imperfections - albeit undisclosed - but I was fine with them. It's another thing when somehow the dye in the leather is turning the white canvas a shade of blue... and the seller gets incredibly defensive when asked about it. ( If this matters, I did ask the seller whether she refurbished it or not.) I want to enjoy my items in spite of their imperfections but I also want to be realistic about what my threshold is.

I hope everybody is having a spooky Halloween!

Knowing your personal condition treshold is important.
Mine is rather low as long as the problems are fully described, the price reflects them and I think I am able to make the bag better.
I absolutely hate problems and defects that are not described.
