December Activities and Challenges - pick and choose as you please.

I. 2024 Year In Review Reflection
(Thanks @Vintage Leather)

Utilize these thought starters to evaluate your collection, your usage patterns and your lessons learned in 2024.
• What is your most useful purse?
• What is your best purchase of the year?
• We’ve all had a lot of lifestyle changes this year - how has it affected your style?
• What is the one thing we’ve learned this year that you want to take into the next?

II. Setting 2025 Goals
Take this month to consider what you want to do with your handbag collection, wardrobe or even your beautiful life in 2025. Share these thoughts in January when we start the 2026 Shopping Your Closet thread.

III. End of year optional challenges

• Holiday colors: December has many holidays celebrated across the world - red & green, brown & gold, blue & white and more! Pick the holiday that you want to honor and wear / show off your bags in those traditional colors.

• End with a bang: As we come to the last part of the year, wear the last bag you’ve purchased at least 3 times this month.

Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!

Our neighbors invited us to a pris fixe dinner tonight - and then were too sick to come. :( It was charming, and we’re back at home in time to comfort the cats from the fireworks (when they really start in an hour the cats will abandon us for under the bed).

Wore silk blouse,wide-legged slacks, semi-fancy jewelry. The Lulu Guinness clutch I’ve had for years but never worn. I had planned to wear the white minaudiere that was my last purse purchase, but it didn’t fit the phone.

Got back from travels yesterday; carried red purses for the holidays:

The leather Le Pliages are my most practical purses this year. The totes get used all the time for travel and carrying my laptop, and the leather get grabbed because crossbodies are just so easy.

Happy new year, all!
 
Wear the dress!

For my fancy evening plans to be on my couch reading a John Grisham novel tonight, I'm wearing a 90ies prom dress (shortened and minus its ridiculous chiffon trim) with fishnet tights and my comfy cashmere jumper on top.
I must admit that the shearling slippers kind of ruin the look 😂

Happy New Year!
You look great! Keep on sewing in 2025!❤️❤️

Happy New Year!
Very nice - I would have never guessed that used to be a prom dress.
My fancy evening plans involve me sitting on the couch, watching tv & trying to get over these germs I’ve caught.

Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a healthy, prosperous and fabulous 2025!
