Very classy, elegant bag!

Thanks. I wanted a fancy flap bag. Was planning on getting the Chanel jumbo, but this bag has satisfied that desire & at a much lower price point.

Starting November with this bag:

My Ferragamo tote in the color Nebbiolo which means red-purple. Plus Nebbiolo is a variety of grape used to make wine.
The leather on this bag is fantastic. The straps have softened up, making it very comfortable to carry. Wish they still made these in different colors.

I love that color.

1 bag in:
Dior Flight 40cm from 2005


She´s been quite a challenge in need of a lot of tlc... but here she is: as good as she will get. All rubbed corners fixed, force fed until the leather started to shine again and decked out with a silly cartoony me-maid charm (which I´m currently adding to).

Clutches...

let´s start with these: 50/60 bliss bought as a job lot. (Clutch story of another ladies - or isit lady´s?- life.)
I have quite a few vintage clutches, because I just love them- they complete a vintage outfit perfectly, look so very put together and when I buy them, they don´t count, because most of the time they are dead cheap...

Fleemarket and ebay finds...

October stats:
Bags in or out - zero. No movement on Posh either, I'm feeling meh about selling anything right now.
One scarf in - a plisse.

Finished 4 books in October (A Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches (cute), What Moves the Dead (zomg boring), Murder Alfresco (murder mystery set in Napa Valley), and finally (FINALLY) finished Tell the Bees I am Gone (mad I read it, way too effing long), and started Remarkably Bright Creatures (loving so far), and Fairy Tales (entertaining and not too scary).

Cleared out the library. Something I never thought I would do. I think I donated half of the books in there (it was 16 giant bags and several boxes), and I feel much better about it. So much better. I didn't think that I was feeling overwhelmed by the number of books in there - I Love Books - but now it feels lighter somehow in there. I only kept favorites, and a few that I had piled up 'to read'. Now every book in there is something I love or WILL read.

Hi Cookie. Way to go on your October reading and clearing out half your library - absolutely amazing!

I don't have any clutches or backpacks... and I forgot about bucket bags... though I probably bunched them in with the shoulder bags or totes.

I'm thinking of doing a "Bring Down the Cost Per Wear" challenge for November. Anything that is still over $50 will get worn almost exclusively - so that means the Hermes Dalvy, Drag and Kelly, and the pink Dior Be Dior (which might be difficult because it's not a color that I'd ordinarily wear in the winter) - will be my November bags.
I've only carried the Kelly twice this year...

(of course we're 4 days into November and I've not carried any of the mentioned bags yet I will - I promise!)
