NOVEMBER ACTIVITIES

1. Bags by Brand Showcase!

Each week, share photos of your bags from the specified brands. Choose a posed “beauty” shot or get your bags out and about in action shots!

We highlight 3 brands per week: 2 premier and 1 contemporary in alphabetical order as listed on tPF. Any brands not listed are showcased in our last week. Brands change to the next set each Sunday.

Our first brand week starts now - Sunday, Oct 31. Please share photos of bags from these brands:
  • Bottega Venetta
  • Burberry
  • Alexander Wang

Tip: Grab your photos from last year in the 2020 resolution thread. Search your user name and the brand to find your photos.

2. Special Stories
Thanks @Claudia Herzog for the suggestion

Wear a bag that has a backstory involving a person, place, or opportunity for which you feel grateful.

I just received my 2nd dose of the Moderna on Wednesday and it took me down. I had soreness and mild ickiness from the 1st dose, this one was significantly worse. I told my coworkers I better have super antibodies after this!

It was the worst I've ever had from a vaccine. I didn't feel so bad that I had to go to bed but I'm glad I didn't have to work. After the third day, my arm started itching like crazy.

Sometimes patience pays off, but sometimes you have to strike while the iron is hot - or before the bag sells out. I got interested in 'Brandon Blackwood NYC' last summer when PurseBlog did a post that featured his bags. Then they did another one today, and I took another look. I thought about making myself actually wait for my birthday next month, but I'm not a patient person. So, I pulled the trigger. Now the bag is Sold Out! Glad I didn't wait! Clearly I wasn't the only one interested, since it looks like every single one if his bags are now Sold Out, :eek: and they weren't at lunch time.

I'm curious to see the bag in person. When it arrives I'll open it to see if I want to keep the bag, but I won't wear it until my birthday, since it is my birthday gift to myself. I've bought more new bags than I should within the last year, but am giving myself a break since the need for retail therapy has been all too real the past 12 months; and the sales have been incredible.

I got the Bianca Puffer. (Yeah, my Maison Margiela Glam Slam bags, and this one... I have a real weakness for the smooshy, puffy bags.) I like that it comes with both a shoulder and crossbody strap. Nylon, so it should be durable. And that color... :faint:

Right! :lol: I said the same thing to my mom who's a nurse, she said that my symptoms after the second dose was a good sign. I ended up staying in bed the day after my second dose.

Multi quotes is not my friend at the moment
@jblended way to go on defining your future bags capsule and interim steps.
@Hazzelnut I admire your tightly curated collection and your Kurt Geiger is a beautiful fun bag
@dcooney4 I don’t think liking different brands is fickle. I think it’s great being able to appreciate a variety of styles and brands, our mood varies from day to day. I love that accessories can help us express those different moods/feelings/whatever we want to express.
@JenJBS I love the Moab Dirt Bag and your wonderful pictures of Utah.
@cowgirlsboots gorgeous New Lock Family pic, mustard is so pretty.
@CoachMaven marvelous orange and yellow beauties, my favourite is your Coach duffle in chili - gorgeous leather.
@Kimbashop I think some vintage bags are very fancy and often quite sentimental, I am visualizing gorgeous beaded or embellished evening bags. I laughed at your comment about missing the Le Pliage in the bag count. I will offer, if it is only used for travel, I would classify it as a travel bag and leave it out of the count. I occasionally use mine for bad weather day bag in addition to travel bag so I currently include it in my count.

I'm putting it out on record, this year is the year of less is more. I didn't go crazy last year due to the pandemic but I did purchase 3 MZ Wallace bags, one spring season Coach, and one vintage Coach. This is significantly better than years past. I also sold four bags last year. For 2021 I already purchased a bag in early February but it was a planned purchase and I don't plan to get any others for the remainder of the year until I sell the ones I have in my 'To Sell' pile.

Congratulations on declaring your intentions. Your 2020 net stats were +1 (bought 5 sold 4) which I think is great. Some people on this thread have active buying years when they’re actively curating to what they love. Good luck with your sales!

Here are my orange bags for the color week. Both of these are new within the last 6 months, and I just saw another orange bag that I like yesterday, so apparently I’m on a bit of a tear with this color.

Oh my word! I thought this would be an easy little project....I was so wrong! It took all day and I didn’t even get to the twillies! Sewed by hand because I don’t trust my skill on the machine to see slippery silk. I measured, measured, measured and even left extra length and STILL had a gap where the sides didn’t meet when I had almost entirely stitched it to the bottom. I about cried! Had to put a dart on the side near the bottom. BUT...it is done, the twillies will be easy and I had enough scarf left over to make a muffler-type scarf with the colors most flattering to me showing.

From cutting to final results...just have to get some silk cord to swap out for the drawstring and to hang the bit charm.View attachment 4994067View attachment 4994068View attachment 4994069View attachment 4994070View attachment 4994071View attachment 4994073View attachment 4994074View attachment 4994075
