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!

November stats

Bags = 1 bag in/ 1 bag out
  • 6/12 bags used.
  • Moynat Gaby was taken on a short trip, therefore she was the most used this month.
  • I got the Moynat Oh tote in the MM size and gave the PM size to my mom. She loves it.

SLGs = 0 in/ 0 out
Jewelry = 0 in/ 0 out
Shoes = 1 in/ 0 out
  • CL pumps
Accessories = 0 in/ 0 out

Clothes = 5 in/ 2 out
So hard to say no to 50% off sales on an item that I’ve bought before and would happily have multiples in various colors lol.

I ordered a keychain/purse charm from kate spade that hasn't gotten here yet.

I sold a sweater, some camisoles and some Ugg boots. I have 3 or 4 pairs of Uggs that are beautiful but I rarely wear because they are too hard to put on. I'm considering selling them but I hate to think of how much money I spent on them compared to what I could sell them for.

I carried 9 bags in November. Most of my bags are packed up in preparation for remodeling so I don't have access to all of them. I'm hoping the contractor will be out of our house in a few weeks. Everything always takes longer than you think it will. It's pretty uncomfortable now with very little furniture we can use, the flooring ripped up and lots of dust flying around.

ETA: I forgot I " bought" a purse on Poshmark with store credit for rehabbing and probably selling. It's from the same line as another purse I have and in the same color so I'd only keep one.
 
No November stats so far... I´m totally shattered tonight. The new pouch project is almost finished. It took so much energy to work on it for hours in my icy room. It´s definetely not more than 10C in there. I´ll show the pouch once it is properly cleaned/ touched up. Maybe it´ll need a bag organizer for structural support too. I opted for a floppy cotton lining- bad choice! The lack of structure triggers me.
Good night!
