2023 Resolution: Shopping my Own Bags and SLG Collection

A long standing tradition in this thread is to remind ourselves of how wonderful our own collections are by showcasing them. We can see how far we have come, collection wise, and we reminded that we have all (or most of) what we need making it easier to shop our own closets.



• New theme weeks start each Sunday

• Don’t jump ahead but, if you miss a week, please do show your bags “late”.

• Show bags individually or in a group

• You do NOT have to wear the bags that week

• For added fun, show old pictures from previous years to demonstrate how you have curated it over time.

• This is completely voluntary. There is no pressure to post at any time.





So what are the showcases? In the Fall, we group our bags by makers! Feel free to show bags, small leather goods, or however it is easiest to organize!

A real work of art!
Thank you! :heart:
# Dior Lady Perla Malice, 1999 in black polished calfskin (This one scratches my itch for a Lady Dior!)
# Dior Miss Dior, 2013, grey with silver hardware (still expensive for me, but apparently the cheapest on the market here.)
Love these bags! The one on the right with the top handles is the Dior Maris Pearl bag I believe? I love the beads in the handles. Looking forward to more pics!
Thank you for your help. The color is called mushroom. It is a bit overcast here so the color is very hard to capture. It takes care of my need for a bigger bag that is still light weight.

Good choice! This will work year-round, and go with everything. Enjoy!
 
April stats: No bags in or out, no slgs in or out. Carried at least 8 bags.

It has been kind of a blah month for me. I've spent a lot of time going through my clothes, and organizing, but haven't really decluttered much. I have two tubs of clothing that are too loose for me, but they're going nowhere for the present. I am hoping to maintain a somewhat steady weight without fluctuations for several months before I actually declutter anything from my wardrobe.

Now that color weeks are coming to an end, I was wondering if we will have a challenge for the upcoming month? I have a suggestion -- how about a pic of your favorite bag with your pet? For those of us that don't have pets (like me), we will just have to be creative -- maybe my neighbor's cat will be willing to pose with my bag?:biggrin: If not, I will have to think of something else.:smile:
No pets, but I have ideas! I’m all in!

# Dior Lady Perla Malice, 1999 in black polished calfskin (This one scratches my itch for a Lady Dior!)

Sorry, there aren´t any nice photos yet. Here are my unboxing pictures from the two Dior bags. (Before doing anything to them. Both were priced according to their condition and I am very happy with them.)
