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!

August 20 - Burberry, Celine

August 27 - Coach, Chanel

It feels like the past couple of months have been rough for a fair few of us. :sad: I'm waiting for my mum's covid test results as I type this. I've never seen her this ill.
I just wanted to share some :hugs: in case anyone needs them. Hopefully better days are ahead.

Thank goodness for tpf and the distraction it brings. The bags in the colour week showcase have been stunning, and I'm always amazed at how much our individual personalities shine through our bag choices.


Would you consider getting a third opinion? That's what I have done when I've had 2 different doctor's recommendations. It often clears things up for me.
I hope you get a good test result and your mom recovers soon. Big hugs!!!!

Sharing my pink and blue bags late but at least as of tomorrow I’ll be caught up and ready to show green.

My pinks. I could probably have an entire closet full of pale pink bags, if I had PowerBall money.

And blue - going to count my Coach Marlie as blue instead of green. It’s teal, or more truthfully ocean blue so it fits. Blue is not a handbag color I gravitate towards.

Pretty pinks
 
Beautiful green medley! Green is one of my three favorite handbag colors.

The Coach on the left, do you know what the color code on that is?
FYI - they’re all Coach.
Do you mean the domed one on top or the dark green one on the bottom? The domed one is the Katy in Marine, a pretty green-blue.
The bottom left is the Willow shoulder bag in forest green.
