Thank you!

Nice job on the stats!


Thank you!

Thanks dear keodi!

Congratulations on your stats @More bags! You certainly have done this thread proud!

You’re very kind cowgirlsboots!

Haha! After not owning any sweatpants for over 10 years my DDs convinced me there´s nothing nicer for home- and leasurly outerwear. I ordered some from H+M and have been living in them ever since they arrived. My older DD gave me a styling lesson: sweatpants, big sweater, nice sneakers and a high quality coat. (In my case this is a checkered wool vintage coat from the 60ies with a nice fur collar. It didn´t cost me much, but must have been an investment when new.)

You and your older DD sound very chic!

The money for the second bag I sold did arrive!
So it´s 2 bags out for October!
I sold my Pollini and am very happy about it.

The bag was lovely, looked brand new, but must have been sitting on my shelf for about 5 years and I did not wear it once. It sold for exactly what I paid (including shipping) when I bought it. Hopefully the new owner will wear it.

Congratulations on the completed sale!

Starting the month out by selling one of my handbags...

MBMJ Percy in Carob Brown. I posted it on Poshmark. It sold within minutes of posting! I made a few dollars on top of what I paid for it (which was barely anything.) Since I have the orange and the lime green Percy I felt like it became too redundant. If I want brown, I have my Damier Ebene Speedy 30 and Monogram Pochette.

Great job on 4 bag and 1 SLG outs!

Thanks! I have been getting rid of bags I love but never wear due some small issue. I had a gorgeous Gucci tote but the round strap killed my shoulder if I put much in it , which sort of defeated the purpose of the tote.

oh keodi - this is lovely!

Gorgeous!

Well done!
On the last day of the month, I bought 2 more scarves... one a mini-grail... I’ll count them for November.

Yay - congratulations!

Did you say scarves?

Thank-you! I had the bag listed in the classifieds for quite a while at a higher price without any interest. When suddenly a request came in I happily agreed to the lower offer thinking better sold for exactly my cost than sitting in my way for longer. I wasn´t to pleased by the tone of the communication- haggling can be done pleasantly or harshly- but with the money coming in asap, who cares...

I understand what you mean. People can be so rude! Although I have been told so many times not to take it personally, it’s tough not to when they’re offering you $100 on a $700 bag.

I did, I did!!
A Sabina Savage CSGM, and a mini-grail - Galop Volant!

I have 3 of her scarves now - 1 silk, 1 CSGM (and one on the way), and one wool and silk that's like a mousseline but heavier.
I won't buy another of the plain silk - it's no where as nice as Hermes.
I love the one that's like a moussie but heavier, it's 135cm, and I love to wear it with the leopard's eye showing - it practically glows.
The CSGM is sturdy, and the colors vivid. It's warm and lovely. While maybe (see-sawing my hand here) it's not as nice as Hermes - it's literally a third of the price. My only quibble is that instead of a rolled hem, it's fringed.
(lemme know if you want pictures!)

I would love to see photos of the CSGM Thank you!

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.

Confession time: I bought it after it was no longer available at the boutique. Paid through the nose, too. But I wear it so much, I (kinda) justify it to myself.

This is from my Stylebook app, and from her site.

This is when I wore it last week!

You’ve done a great job of curating your collection dc!

Those are the best purchases, the ones you wear often. I often forget the price I paid as time marches on. I do remember the way I feel when I wear something I love and that makes me feel amazing!
