I'm sorry you're not happy with it, it is a very pretty colour (very similar colour as a Herve Leger dress my mother bought me ages ago (and still has tags!). If you wear your bag I will wear my dress.

I have been AWOL. I have basically been getting up for work at 5am and getting back at 20:00 plus I was ill last weekend and really rundown.
Jan stats:
Bags:
0 in
0 out
Other bits
0 in
2 out - 1 pair of boots (DMs - seriously dead) and a makeup bag
I've been focusing on work (and I was ill last week) so it's taken my mind off shopping for this month.
I still dream of the OTT silver lizard Dionysus, the larger black snakeskin Dionysus (with matching strap - not chain) and enamel hardware, or the natural snakeskin 1955. They are all around the £3-4K mark which is hefty but I suppose not compared to H. I will prob get one but I MUST refill the coffers after the ridiculous amount of spending before Christmas on jewellery. Plus, I know it's Gucci's centenary year next year and really want something special then too. All of this is in fact all in-theory though because I need to pick-up my Flora silk blouse this month buy my H SS20 silks before there's nothing left in cws I like. I should do some serious selling.
Good news though. I'm not even through my probationary period at work and I seem to have already been promoted so let's hope it's permanent.
I have an event in a couple of weeks so I'm already thinking of my outfit. I want to wear a vintage neon orange coat with big gold buttons, yellow enamel and silver Gucci cat brooch and bright tall, red Gucci hat (is that a Tequila Sunrise?) I'm going from work so which bag shall I take (I'll leave my laptop at work)?
If it doesn't rain
a) H Black Box Kelly Sellier
b) H Rouge H Box Bolide
Black seems like a good choice

Can’t wait to see.My January stats…
Bags in: 1 (Maybe. It's from Fashionphile, it just arrived today, and I have 30 days to make up my mind. We shall see, but I drooled a little when I took it out of the box. I'll post it if I decide to keep it!)
Bags out: 0
Bags on probation: 2 (I'll post about this another day. I it would require venting about heavy bags and my shoulder, if anyone is interested.)
Slgs in: 0

Love all!
Thank you! Yes, 24 is feeling a little small for me when it comes to variety. But, I’m happy I’ve done the culling that I have. I only miss one bag and that the Gucci top handle stirrup. I just couldn’t figure out how to wear it well. And, it was so bulky when I was in a restaurant. It needed its own chair.Well done on boring stats Sparkle!I enjoyed your bag pics and analyses this month. 24 bags is on the smaller side of your desired collection range that you’ve mentioned in the past, how is it feeling - are you happy with the variety, getting in as much rotation as you would like, pining for anything new?
I think adding 5-6 more bags (total of 30ish) over time would be my sweet spot. But, I don’t want to rush. All of my latest acquisitions have been spot on - beautiful bags that filled identified usage needs. So, I’m going slow but steady.
Great job on exiting so many items that weren’t serving you!
How did I miss the mascara discussion? I know I skimmed a few posts because I was so behind.
I’m using a Lancôme but I think I’ll go back to the Dior I was using before. Anyone have a suggestion on a great liquid eyeliner?I had this same bag! She was my first Dior. Enjoy your lunch!
So sorry you've been working so hard on top of getting sick, @papertiger . But it's such good news that your new job seems to be permanent. That must be such a relief to you.
I've been tempted by the new Gucci 1955 style. I love the vintage look of it… reminds me of my preppy college years! Sadly, it's just a wee bit too small for my needs. I already have several bags this size, and I don't need another one. Or at least, that's what I keep telling myself. Who knows what will happen when I see it in person next fall in San Francisco…

Thank you, great relief but mustn't count my chicks yet, official meeting is on Tues so I'll let you know.
If you do decide to look at the 1955 you may be pleasantly surprised at the depth.
Wowza, that Le Trente bag is amazing! I've never seen it before. Is it still being made? I love the smooshy leather, and the way it ruffles up at the top. Yum!
Have fun at the luncheon. Which gavroche are you wearing???
So the depth overcomes the too-short length? Hmmmmmm… My sweet spot for bag length is 11 inches. And I don't usually care for a too-deep bag, because I don't like a bag to pop out too much from my hip. But it will be fun to have a project when we go to San Francisco. DH enjoys the Gucci boutique!
I think you have got this. We will wait till Tuesday evening to celebrate just so we don’t jinx you.
Although I supposedly have TSA precheck, only the last of FOUR flights let me through. Otherwise it was a total pain, especially when an enthusiastic guard tried to break my arm again during a pat down.
The grail is The original Jardin sur le toit gavroche!
Back to bags the minute I get home (about 30 minutes!)
What a cutie!! And she seems to be right for your shoulder.
She’s already loaded up for today (Sunday - church and errands)! So maybe you get to cut off the tags from your dress.
And I hope you get good news on Tuesdays about your job! 
Good for you! I think it is very pretty.What a cutie!! And she seems to be right for your shoulder.
