2021 Resolution: Shopping my own bag and SLG collection. Any one else?

[Sparkletastic]

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’ve liked the first 2 since I saw it in late 2019 ( and couldn’t decide) Now I also find the 3rd colorway intriguing. The last one I think I will eliminate. I know..I need to see how which colorway fills holes in my wardrobe. I realize that while I love a riot of color (#2), I tend to wear neutrals (#1). DH called #3 Miami Dolphins..whatever, dude.

see my dilemna?

I laughed so hard when I read constipating that I forgot the rest of the question. Spell check does this to me all the time.

You don't have a Dalvy? Ooooooh. You do need one.
OMG look at this: https://amorevintagejapan.com/products/ao32037?variant=37153831878817&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google Shopping&currency=JPY

How NOT to do business. What a pretentious ass. Dude, I just bought a a Pico and 2 scarfs in the last 3-4 weeks. And I know what the auction price was because I was a bidder.

I feel sorry for the ex-wife or ex-girlfriend this probably belonged to. “Student of human nature”...

Edit- I don’t feel bad about posting this here because I am sure he is talking about it on “the social media” along with every other unwitting participants in his “tests.” Wow....

Yikes! his behaviour is so unecessary.

Ah Saturday! I am taking the day off
Here is my yellow/orange week contribution (I am going to use our color showcase to guide my bag changes)
Switching out of my Tods pink tote (which I’ve been carrying since at least 1/4 per photo date stamp) to the Chloe Baylee-caramel/chocolate (Chloe calls it “yummy cookie”..isn’t that cute?) And a bag spill for good measure. Actually it’s high time for an SLG change ..ok next week

(Oh well..unable to upload photo of my Tods..gah)View attachment 4996842)

I love the bag spill! do you enjoy using your LV key holder? I was thinking of getting one.

I’m a fan of number 1 and 4 ! Love ‘constipating
@BowieFan1971, I agree with @Jereni that sellers should try to be polite. Ugh. So sorry you had to deal with that

I did, with #4! I really wanted a Kawa Ora and the other choice in that store was something very vivid (possibly #2) and I chickened out and went for the blues. Blue is my favorite color, and I love neutrals, but somehow for me this is the Scarf of Sadness. I need to get my act together and send it off to Vestiaire in hopes that for someone else it will be better. (Maybe someone who wears a lot more denim than me? It's got a lovely sheen.)

I later got the CGSM version of #1, with a deep blue hem, and I love it a lot. It is a bit more sedate than #2 or 3, though.

Oh wow! I stand corrected. I am sorry it didn’t work out for you. Your CSGM version sounds lovely. Best wishes with your sale.

Wowza, that is gorgeous. In addition to the cost of purchasing the bag I would have to factor in the cost of a new wardrobe and lifestyle. That Dalvy is just too pretty to go only to the grocery store, which is where the majority of my outings end up.

Ha ha, thanks! Actually nowadays I´m not fashionable at all- the Delidior had the hard job to upgrade my awful "outfit" of hoody, sweatpants, sneakers and checked vintage coat... plus I don´t go anywhere but the supermarket. For my bags this means go there or stay at home in their dustbags.

You encountered a fine specimen of the bad attitude sellers! Unfortunately they are out there and from time to time one crosses their paths. I always wonder do they want to sell at all or do they get their kicks from being rude or even bigger kicks from the unlikely event of selling to somebody who is clueless and pays the over the top asking price?

Thank-you so much!

Annoying, isn´t it? As soon as there is an option to make an offer I do expect a little ballgame- it´s part of the fun!

Yay for rocking our bags at the supermarket! I am with you sista!

Finally..grr..Ive been trying to upload photos all day to no avail so I decided to turn on/off my iPad and it worked ..whew...

Here are 2 versions of the watch I have been thinking about.
In photo 1, look at the one at top with the red band..isn’t it pretty? It is 18k rose gold with corresponding price tag. The steel version is in 2nd photo at about 1/3 of the price (photo courtesy of TPFer post). I am definitely eliminating the gold version (right?) and if I get the steel version, I will get the red band. Panerai is an acquired taste ..this is a38mm version that they introduced in part to appeal to the “womanfolk“. I do NOt need another watch but ugh..why can’t I follow the mantra “happiness comes from the absence of desire“ Is that Spock or was it Buddha? Sorry to trekkies and buddhists, how can I get them mixed up?

anyway...that’s my dilemna..to get or not to get. Sigh.
