Hey everybody. I hope your days been going well. I'm struggling today. It's been almost a year since I experienced something very traumatic. I'm sitting in my office, sobbing at the computer. I don't know if I can keep up my normal schedule right now.

Big hugs!

Sorry to hear of your struggles. You are not alone. Sending you kind thoughts, virtual hugs and the hopes that your situation improves.

Aww, thank-you @More bags ! I love my luxury bags, especially the older Dior, but can´t justify to pay the regular resale prices for them... the treasure hunt is on!
I really must find out what the New Lock bags did cost originally back in the day, now.

2011 - 2012?

If my memory hasn’t failed me, $2250 to $2400

Thank you for the well wishes everyone. As it stands, I just sent my professor an email saying that I am okay with accepting a zero on a smaller assignment. I'd rather take a zero than suffer for some lousy assignment. I don't know if I am capable of getting the most amazing grades right now - that's okay. I continue mentioning that we need to be kinder to ourselves. Well, I guess this is where I'm giving myself kindness. I cannot bring myself to care anymore.

As for handbags, maybe I should sit down and give you guys the eye candy you've been so patiently waiting for. Perhaps that'll help me feel even the slightest bit better...

I know students are suffering, but my professor friends are also feeling overwhelmed at the moment. Maybe try to connect with your prof honestly and ask for an extension or substitute assignment?

Quick photo of the new wallet on a chain. I didn’t want to unwrap the chain yet, but it is very pretty.

sooooo pretty!

Thank-you @Vintage Leather ! Yes, 2011/ 2012.
I´ve been looking everywhere and couldn´t find numbers that made sense.
Now I´ve looked up the exchange rates both of GBP and US Dollar to Euro back in 2012 and everything falls into place.
In Euro this bag must have been around 1600 €. Good old times...
This means that I paid under 10% of the original price for my bag. Yippeeh!

I really like your new wallet on chain! The design is so understated even with the big logo and the leather looks very nice- a true classic timeless piece.

I’ve been a wreck the last three weeks, between closing, both of my parents in the hospital and election results.

Can I send my Tiffany bill to the campaign? Asking for a friend...

My numbers look good - but they don’t take into consideration that the things I’ve bought are more spency and that I don’t have a housewares category. Emile Henry pie plates! Deck chairs! Smart lightbulbs! Also, they don’t count my November shopping... I’ll be better next week...

Thank you! That is just what I was thinking too. I decided to list a couple of my fun bags that I am just not wearing. I keep wearing my Portland Leather Goods bags or some of my older more classic bags. I am starting to focus more on my whole outfit and not just my bags.

I just looked at my post at the beginning of this thread—and I’ve failed terribly! I think the quarantine sales were too tempting! And being home all day also didn’t help!

I have been terrible with shopping too. My only saving grace is that I am getting rid of almost equal amounts.
