That is such terrific news about your new job, @Rhl2987 . I hope it all gets finalized quickly. 20 hours a week, mostly working from home, and minimal travel is ideal with a young one to care for. And, as you say, when your daughter is older, then you can add more hours.
Fingers crossed for you!
Oh that is gorgeous!!
RH is very regal
One of the hygienists commented that she liked my tonal outfit.
(I'm wearing dark red corduroy-like leggings, a dark red sweater with a cream colored silk blouse underneath - the blouse has a reptile patterned, Peter Pan collar so I put a scarf on the bag, and dark red velvet shoes)
Best of luck at the dentist...Today’s red bag - we’re at the dentist currently.
She at least looks much better than I do.

I feel as though I should curtsey!!!
I have a white bag with yellow sides (Le Tanneur) and a bright yellow bag (CoLab). The yellow one I carry year round because I *need* it when we have too many gray, rainy days in a row.

I knew it. One of their most smartly dressed patients
It's beautiful. The condition is amazing! I can see this going with lots of outfits. I have a Bal club bag in poupre, which is very close to this color. It was my first Bal.Those of you who "know" me on this thread also know this Balenciaga City bag, which was a present from DH in 2015.

There are many things I love about this bag, the first being that it was a present.
My problem has always been the color. It just doesn't go with the outfits I tend to wear, except in the warmest of days. And we don't get many of those here on the coast.
However, as my Upper Back & Neck Stuff has become worse, I find myself reaching for it more and more often. Finally, a couple of weeks ago, I had an epiphany. Since Balenciaga bags are no longs the Hot Ticket item they once were, I could probably find a pre-loved one at a good price from a reputable consignment site.
And I did!
Here is my still-thinking-about-it-but-pretty-sure Balenciaga City in Cassis, with silver hardware. From 2012, I think. The color is difficult to capture, so I'm including two photos. The leather is NOT as shiny as the second photo shows; it's more matte, like the first photo. But I think the color is more true in the second photo.
I have 30 days to decide, so I haven't clipped the tags yet. I try it on every day and study myself in the mirror the way I used to when I was fifteen.But I'm really very close.
Oh, and DH loves it. Since he has a very good eye for handbags (and jewelry, and scarves) I give weight to his opinion.

That's wonderful! I hope you get the position. My son has been contracting, working at home for the last 4 or 5 years. My older daughter gets to work from home one day a week. My younger daughter had a job where she could work from home but now she has taken a different position so she has to go in everyday. Her commute is very long and parking is expensive. She spends a lot of gas and lunches every week.
What a score, cassis is beautiful! I recall you got rid of a red bag (LV Capucines). I think you’ll get lots of wear from this beauty as well as your dark red Valentino from last fall.Those of you who "know" me on this thread also know this Balenciaga City bag, which was a present from DH in 2015.

Lovely Drag, the leather is luscious- you can’t go wrong with Rouge H Box! Great scarf pairing!Thank you!What a score, cassis is beautiful! I recall you got rid of a red bag (LV Capucines). I think you’ll get lots of wear from this beauty as well as your dark red Valentino from last fall.
Yes, this Cassis is very close in color to my Valentino VLock, but they fill entirely different "niches" in my collection. I seem to gravitate toward burgundy & red bags!
