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!)

Great idea @Cookiefiend! I will join you and @baghabitz34 on doing a “Bring Down the Cost Per Wear” challenge in November.
I will include my Bolide, So Kelly, Horsebit 1955, and Tempete.

I feel for you! A new computer or phone is always a challenge... To me it´s rightout scary! I bought a new laptop a couple of weeks ago, tranferred my photos for hours and hours the old fashioned way with a memory stick... (I don´t trust cloud storage.) ...and now I´m scared to use the new thing at all plus I feel for the old laptop that´s still kind of working when you don´t mind an almost bald keyboard with some lose keys ,very long waiting times and lots of glitches...

I really hope the tech guys will find a way to "just" get your pictures back!

Thank you, I'll take it in tomorrow. Tech guys are so blasé, they're always telling me what I should've done.

I know, it's not really sustainable to keep having new hardware. They should make these things last longer but they build-in obsolescence.

So, I’ve been on a roll lately - finding bags I missed out on before at good prices. The latest:

Scarf print Studio - the print goes all the way around the bag. And, as shown in the last pic, the print is continued inside the bag as well.
Found it on FP, like new condition, significantly below retail. Very happy to add this beauty, too.

zomg - so beautiful!

I am packed for Italy! Hard to believe we leave on Wednesday. I found some great flats from Allbird and Everlane that I have been breaking in, along with Tretorns. One is mustard and one is red….bummed that it will be too warm to wear my LV trench, but I have a cute lightweight MaxMara short trench in red I can take instead and a teal MK packable down jacket just in case it gets chilly. Taking two crossbodies, one RM with gold hardware and a mustard Steve Madden I picked up for $15 that matches the flats. Clothes are primarily grey and black, with the shoes for color as well as a selection of scarves.

AND my son comes home for good tomorrow!!!!!

I AM SO EXCITED, Y’ALL!!!!

I don't believe we have a Vera Bradley authenticator on TPF. Sorry.

Wow!!! When I read that your son is coming home for good, I started getting tears in my eyes. Soooo happy for you!
And have a great trip!

There will be adjustment all around, so this trip is actually coming at a good time for many reasons, but my house is now going to be the home it was meant to be and my son can prepare for and get started on the next phase of his life and I am here to help him. I am a momma again! And next year the foster kids should start.

Wow! That's great!

It would have been if Mz Wallace didn’t just have a four day sale. Two things coming my way.
