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!

Congrats on all your new goodies! I am glad I am not the only one that hit the sales.

Yesterday, I was very tired and hit 20 percent discount on a bag by accident instead of ten. I figured I didn't have to worry about it as it has been for sale for a while. Was going to remove it from sale and keep it after the 24 hour discount wore off. My brother just sent me a pair of boots that might have gone with it. Needless to say, it sold while I was sleeping.

Crazy to think about, but isn't it time to think about starting the 2023 Thread? So we have time to decide on our goals?

I can't remember how early the new threads are started...maybe a week or two before the New Year?
But, thank you for the prompt! It got me thinking that I'd like to make it a goal to create new looks around my bags in the new year- still shopping my closet for bags, clothes and accessories, but making new combinations of things so it all feels fresh.
I'm just posting that now before I forget the idea, but will hopefully post a longer list of intentions when we start the new thread. :)

Thank you! I hope your hubby is doing better! :hugs:

Also, while I'm here, @whateve your new Brahmin has me stalking their site constantly! It's the first bit of real temptation I've had in a loooooong time. I don't know if I should thank you or scold you for testing my resolve!!! :lol:

lol, sorry, not sorry, for enabling! I've carried it ever since I got it. That is unusual for me, even with a new bag.

I can't say that I blame you! It's so stunning and I have such a soft spot for round bags! :loveeyes:
I'm happy it's brining you such joy! Looking forward to seeing more mod shots. :graucho:

I'm going to have to stop looking at it. I seriously cannot afford it right now...but I wonder if I drop a few hints in the right ears, perhaps I'll find it under the tree for xmas?:biggrin:
I kid, I kid! One can dream...:lol:

Count me in too! Even though most of my collection is relatively new, I really want to focus on wearing everything in the new year. Although my winter WFH mom outfits are pretty basic - I’m always either in a fleece jacket or long sleeved top with a vest and leggings.

Just dropping back in to see how you are all doing. I’ve been signed off work for the foreseeable at the moment and trying new meds to settle my chronic insomnia and related physical anxiety symptoms has been horrible. Who knew so many of them cause such awful side effects. I’m not in the mind set for anything much, let alone carrying different bags, so apologies for being missing over the festive period. I sincerely hope to be well and back soon. In the meantime, look after yourselves and prioritise selfcare at this busy time.
