I bought a Gucci Blondie black leather ghw belt /bum/crossover bag.

Choosing a Blondie has been ridiculous.

All I can say is it looked good on me in the store :thinking: I'm afraid I don't take pics or play with things I know I'm going to return so I can't show you but it is online. I'll only get credit, but I can't wait to return it :sad: .but I hate having things around I just know are all wrong.


Usually, I absolutely know for certain. My thinking was that I had nothing like it - a need to move out of my comfort zone before my H Evie welds itself to my body. Now I know why I have a comfort zone. I'm just not a sporty girl. Too much gold hardware, you can't miss the logo, and - I just don't think I'm that person.

I've asked for Gucci to get me in the Green Small Blondie in instead https://www.gucci.com/uk/en_gb/pr/w.../gucci-blondie-shoulder-bag-p-699268UXX0G3120 . I've tried it on in white before and it looked good, but I have an Hermes clutch in white already, but then maybe I don't need another green bag either. It's a 3 way bag (clutch/day crossover/even chain) and I can wear the chain a necklace too. I know the logo is actually larger than the belt bag but somehow without the Turlock and the zip it seems more 'clean'.

My head is spinning because what I'd really like is either a bright red leather Small (red only comes in a Mini) or a navy leather Med which doesn't exist although there is a dark blue suede.

The first time I tried one was February
and I keep trying them
I don't know whether I want all of them or none. If I didn't have the credit (pending of course) I think I would even wait until the new seasons colours come in. Goodness knows what the price will be then of course, they go up £100 a minute (OK exaggeration :biggrin: - but it feels like that) .
Sorry to hear the bumbag didn’t work out as expected.
 
Thanks for all the wonderful bucket bags this week. I’m sorry not to have responded to your posts sharing your beauties and all the other chat. I’ve not been online much this week and the next few weeks may be the same. I’m just popping in to apologise for being MIA.

I’ve hit a rough patch and had to get myself signed off work again yesterday - not sure how long for yet - 10 days at least. Recovery is a difficult roller coaster and right now I just need time to reboot, and some different meds, especially with sleep which has been horrifically lacking. I hope to get back on track and be posting again quite soon.
Sending good wishes for rest, recovery and improved health and well being. :hugs:

Added this Joanne orange bag to my collection. The color of the parfum kind of goes with the color of the bag!
I haven't caught up with the posts at all as it has been a very busy few weeks and seems like that will continue over the next month or so.
Gorgeous Ferragamo and perfume photo.
