I’m resting in bed as I recover from covid (it finally got me!) so I figured I’d compile and share my November stats:

Items in:
Coach Cassie 19 in Black
Coach Card Case in Hyacinth
Coach Lock and Key bag charms (I’m only using the lock for now)
Coach Four Piece Mini Perfume gift set
Coach Soft Tabby in Dove Grey that has not yet shipped, so does it count if I don’t yet have the bag in hand? :biggrin:

I’m really happy with everything I purchased this month! I missed carrying my Chalk Cassie 19 and took a while to decide about getting it in Black. This was partially due to eyeing the Soft Tabby in Black. As soon as I decided that I wanted the Cassie 19 more, it literally disappeared from the website and my local Coach store. So I had to call around and ended up getting one transferred to my local boutique. During all of my calling around, it also popped back up online so I ordered it just in case, and it actually went through. So I ended up with two bags but returned the second.

I have been looking for little ways to reinvent myself going into the new year and thought that it would be fun to find a new signature scent. I ended up really liking two of the perfumes in the perfume gift set - Coach Dreams Sunset and Coach Floral. :love: My mom kept asking for Christmas gift ideas so I told her that I’d love the Dreams Sunset gift set.

Now we’ll just have to see if I really love the Soft Tabby in Dove Grey when it gets here! I’ll have a better idea once I can put all my things in it, which I wasn’t able to do when I saw it in person at Macy’s.

I bought more bags this year than I did in the last few years combined and now it’s time to slow down. Going into this month and then the new year, I’m content with what I have in my collection and plan to appreciate and use what I have. Wishing everyone a lovely December and holiday season! :heart:

ETA I think I used 3 bags this month, which is pretty good considering I spent the vast majority of November either sick (RSV and now covid) or snowed in:
Rebecca Minkoff Edie Top Handle Crossbody in Malbec
Michael Kors Jetset Crossbody in Black leather (an oldie but a goodie!)
Coach Cassie 19 in Black

You can count however it works best for you. I counted bags that have not arrived yet but they are being made for me and are not returnable. Other times I don’t count till something arrives, so if it doesn’t work or is damaged I send it back.

November stats:

1 bags in
2 bags out
1 SLGs in
0 SLGs out


YTD stats
3 bags in
6 bags out
7 SLGs in
14 SLGs out

I carried 12 purses this month, which is pretty good since there were several days I didn't go anywhere, a trip during which I only carried one bag, and a new bag that I've carried since I bought it.

This is my new bag. It's a Brahmin. I've always wanted a round bag and I'm glad I waited until now. I didn't need to spend a lot to find a bag I love.

Month of November I took advantage of the sales & bought 6 bags. I will definitely be on ban island the first part of 2023.

The beautiful blue LC tote showed up on themNordstrom Rack site. The tan bag is the AoL Harper & there’s the forest green Coach Willow. The MJ tote is the Bloomingdale’s 150th Anniversary edition. Loved the boldness of it.
No bags or SLGs out.
Several bags of clothes from DS & I donated. Plus some of his old toys.
One pair of shoes in - finally found a pair of black & white sneakers.
I used 14 different bags.

The other two bags - a Ferragamo & a Mark Cross - are under the tree. Gifts from me to me. And yes, I will act surprised on Christmas!
