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!

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).
