Love the entire ensemble and your Tous Les Bateaux du Monde scarf explanation in SOTD post #8540 ! I learn so much from TPF! thank you!

Scarves - Scarf of the Day 2022 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

SOTD was also Voitures exquises. I already liked the design when it came out, and this CW is suprisingly versatile. Really beautiful, I’m beginning to wish I had had a way to acquire this lovely. It looks chic and pretty on you, Agrume!

...when you think you managed a no bag buy month... and stumble over a bargain on VC on the last day of said month...

1 bag bought (has not even been shipped yet, so might still fall through)
0 bags out
2 slgs in- both extra cheap: the 2€ Roberta di Camerino wallet that transformed into the card holder I wanted for my LV wallet and a pink Coach long wallet. My mistake... it should have been red. It was 10€. Sending it back would cost me 5€ postage... just keep it for further reference.
0 slgs out

Quite a few very cheap true vintage dresses (the average price was 11,50€) in to play with over time. One of them, a very nice 50ies silk number, turned out to be my silliest purchase ever. I didn´t pay attention to the measurements and now have to find a solution for a 65 cm waist. At least it had a belt aka extra fabric...

Colours I don´t "do" for bags...

Generally I do reach for black, red, leopard, tan and my mustard patent New Lock. The latter is a colour I wouldn´t ever have considered getting. The sales photos were so bad (cream? nude? beige?) and the price so good I simply took the chance and ended up very happy with this bag.
I find myself not actually reaching for dark brown bags.
When it comes to vintage bags I´ll take any colour that goes with some silly vintage outfit, but that´s only "painting a picture".

I think colours I really do not do for bags are Barbie pink, bright yellow or orange and certain shades of grey.

Seeing the bags in your collection has had a definite impact on my taste. I love the saturated colors. I used to dress in very saturated colors when I was young, but I no longer feel right in them. But I do love them. Most of my bags are very dowdy colors because they are mostly vintage Hermes and Hermes had a very limited palate back then. I just have no color pizazz like you do. You are making me want more color. Imitation is the most sincere for of flattery. You definitely have an identifiable personality to your collection. I have searched for some of the bags you have, and you picked the very best color and that color is no longer available because what you picked was the hit.

Awww! :blush: You're so kind! :hugs: This made not just my day, but my week - maybe month. :hugs:

I do love saturated colors. I wear jeans, black, and grey so much I need colorful bags.

A collection on vintage Hermes (in any colors) sounds amazing! :yes:

Again, thank you!

My yearly carry pie chart above shows which colours I do and don’t do. It’s mostly black, browns, blues and pinks or purple. It has no green and none of the fire colours yellow, orange or red. I don’t own clothes in those colours especially either.

For the first time I felt the need for red yesterday. I had to wear red, white and blue (Platinum Jubilee celebration). I have no red and a red bag would have been perfect with my navy trousers and white jacket. After much searching in my closet (and those of the rest of my family) a burgundy T-shirt was the best I could do. This does not seem like enough reason to buy a red bag!

Loving the camel Neuf from Polene so much, I bought another one in a different shade (part of the 6).
Get compliments & questions every time I use it.

Lovely! If I was in the market for another bag, which I’m not, Polene would very much carry my eye after all these wonderful pics. Shame they don’t have a store in Nice as we go there soon (or actually a good thing!).
