Welcome to 2023!



Welcome to the Resolution threads, where we support each other with differing goals and objectives, but with a foundation of loving the closet that we have. We encourage all of our members to look into the dark recesses of our wardrobes, lofts, attics and take the time editing, curating, refining, redefining or updating our bag wardrobes.

This is not a minimalism or ban thread! There are other threads that focus around bans and minimalist bag collections, so if those objectives for 2023 are far closer to your resolution(s) please look downstream, or create your own thread.

Please feel free to share your goals for 2023! We love supporting each other in goals.



ANNUAL COLOR WEEK BAG SHOWCASE!!


A long standing trading (8 years and counting!) is to remind ourselves of how wonderful our own collections are by showcasing them my color. 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.

To make this celebration extra fun, we share bags of a certain color each week.



COLOR WEEK BAG SHOWCASE!



• New color 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 pictures from previous years (2016-2022) or even just one photo from when you started your collection to demonstrate how you have curated it over time.

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



COLOR WEEKS

Feb. 12: Red (including burgundy)

Feb. 19: Orange & Yellow

Feb. 26: Purple & Pink

Mar. 5: Blue & Indigo (including turquoise & teal)

Mar. 12: Green

Mar. 19: Black

Mar. 26: Gray

Apr. 2: White & Cream

Apr. 9: Brown & Tan

Apr. 16: Metallic (gold, silver, bronze and more!)

Apr. 23: Jeweled and all other embellished

Apr. 30: Multicolored



If you have posted in previous years, you can search the previous threads to find old photos of your bags to share the journey of your curation.

I’ll drop my own goals in later, but welcome! This is a great year to have your best and most wearable wardrobe!

Thank you! I love everything about this backpack, including the color. Do you buy Mz Wallace directly from their website?


@Sunshine mama, thanks for the pretty pictures! The spring season begins officially in a couple days I believe, and your flower pics and pink bag, and @nyeredzi's Brahmin bag with its happy, spring colors is really putting me in the mood for spring (my favorite season).

Although it's still cold outside here, I am already starting to assemble my spring capsule wardrobe together. Is anyone else looking at their spring wardrobes, and maybe coming up with a shopping list? I realized that for starters, I need new white sneakers, and maybe even new white trousers or jeans.
Sometimes and sometimes from other stores. I like to shop from Larrimors in Pa too. I can get a discount for first order and it is free shipping with wonderful service. Also Nordstrom has Mz Wallace. My particular backpack is no longer made, So poshmark or somewhere else .

Well, I could flood the thread with black bags, but I guess you´ve seen almost all of my black beauties before...
But I impulse bought a cheap vintage black bag on ebay yesterday:

Now I´m waiting for it to be shipped and arrive and hopefully be as nice as I expect it to be. The listing said it´s 38cm wide, so should be quite big.

I love it! It's such a cute shape and I'm a sucker for kisslocks.

This is just my kind of black bag!. Sophisticated and a little dramatic (which I'm working on being myself ;) )

I am one of those who believes that one can't have too many black bags. I love a colour-pop with outfits, but very often I just want my bag to be the least noticeable thing about my outfit - any occasion. A belief that bears out that my best black bags will span 2 posts

Parking my black bag before I don't get a chance with what will be a busy weeks (probably my go-to colour).
