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 haven't bought any bags this year and just a Gucci 1955 last.

Hopefully, my next bag will be a Bamboo Top-handle, there are 3 sizes, Med, Small and Mini but I'm not sure which size. I have 2 Large and a Med already but the mini is really an evening-only for me (which may be nice).
What do you think about your Large Bamboo? It's kind of huge, isn't it. I just bought one preloved (won't arrive for a couple of weeks) but am wondering if a medium makes more sense.

I'm sure I'll love it, but it is occurring to me that a medium might be a better daily bag.

What do you think of yours?
 
Better late than never! My overall stats from 2021:

Bags in: 2
Bags out: 7
SLG in: 1
SLG out: 22
Jewelry in: 1
Jewelry out: 4

I did end up buying a bag as a Christmas present to myself; unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) it didn't work out and I'm in the process of returning it. Since it all zeroes out, I didn't include it in my stats. Looking back, I feel like I've made significant progress (although there's always room for improvement!). 2021 was when I began earnestly decluttering out my closet and listing items on eBay and other secondhand/consignment shops. I still have a few more items listed, and my goal is to let go of at least 3 more bags for 2022.

Providing a quick update from this month:

Bags in: 0 (happy to report that I resisted the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales this year)
Bags out: 0
SLG in: 0
SLG out: 9

YTD:
Bags in: 2
Bags out: 6
SLG in: 1
SLG out: 19
