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.

Happy to hear you’ve settled down a bit on your collection! Really, with our situation here in my country, I’ve lost interest in adding to my bag collection. Who knows though how long this feeling would last.
——
The past couple of weeks have been hard for me. Somehow this second wave of cases here has me at a high level of anxiety, and consequently, my blood pressure too. Trying to relax despite everything plus the demands of my job. So, bags are far from my thoughts lately.

Hang in there!

I hope things calm down soon. Have you tried adult coloring books or just a sketch pad and a pencil. These can be relaxing. You could design your perfect bag on a sketch or just make pretty colored squiggles, what ever makes you happy.

Not me or my pets in the pics.

I thought did you get a new dog. Also love her boots. The bag is beautiful but very big. Is that what you are looking for?

As I´ve been away for a while I´m late with my March stats:

7 vintage bags out ("march them out the door....")
1 vintage bag in (super cheap and still I´m not sure whether I´ll keep it, though)
no premier bags in or out, no slgs in or out

Wow way to go!

I love those 60‘s frame bags and matching shoes.

I say count it next month. A months of no ins is worth it, and besides, you're not getting to carry it!

I think you are right. I made a mark in the may bag list so I don’t forget. If I counted it in now I will just allow myself to get something else if I see it. Having 0 in would be wonderful, specially since I just sold two. Only one was premium though.

Welcome back! Great stats!
Your brown bags are beautiful.

@JenJBS your Orchid Behno is so pretty!

Thank you!

I love this bag! And the colour! Is this Celine?

ETA: if not Céline, can you share the designer/brand? It’s stunning!

I like it! The inside is gorgeous! I love the shape. My only concern would be how deep it is. It sticks out quite far from the body. I wonder if that would be uncomfortable or if it would bump into things.

I love your frame bags! The large pockets Dior is amazing!

Good news! Coach sent me a return shipping label for the wrong bag and is overnighting the right bag!

Gorgeous color! The style reminds me of the Celine big bag.

Yay!!!! Fingers crossed it is in perfect condition!!!!

A pleasant surprise....someone gifted me a bunch of dust bags so I can put my pillowcases back in the linen closet where they belong instead of use them to store bags (the downside of preloved....few come with dust bags). After I got them swapped out and moved out the bags I am selling, I looked and saw that I have less bags than I thought. I only have 22, and even adding with a red bag from Italy, a casual black bag and my beloved Bolide, I will still only be at 25. And there are 2-4 that I may get rid of once things go back to normal and I see if I use them. I thought I was overboard on bags, but I am not! Now if the ones I have listed just sell already!!!!!!!

Woo HOoo!!

I hope they sell quick!

I bought several plain beige bags online (somewhere - brain fade right now) so that all my bags have the same dust bag. It gives the closet a more - uh - uniform look that I prefer.
I have the same number of bags, and that includes the bags that I count as 'seasonal/travel/special occasion... frankly - that's the Goldilock's Number for me - just right, not too much, not too little.

(though I occasionally think it's too much, but that's just crazy talk... everyone needs 3 red bags - amiright?)
