Do wet want some new challenges in August?
How about wearing one non-black neutral per week (whatever is a neutral for you)

I am sure once you are done with it , it will look fantastic. It is a very cool bag.
I forgot I have one more slg out. I gave a friend a small wallet/ Card holder I was saving.
Update on my day out..
My girlfriend and I managed our day out thankfully-the weather was lovely, and we had a great Italian lunch(at least I did-she had a plate of fries and a coke, I pretended she was nothing to do with me!)
Unfortunately, although I tried on a lot of clothes (I’m an IT36/ UK4), I found jackets without trousers, skirts without jackets, a dress which highlighted my flat chest etc, and managed to buy NO clothes.
And NO bag either-the only one I like was a pink crocodile Ferragamo, which was tiny..
I saw lots of other things, but my mind was partly on my sick Mum (I’d told my sister but not my Dad we were going).
In the end I bought a pair of Alexander McQueen black nappa sneakers (I’m a 35.5), and a set of white percale bedding.
I still want new clothes, as the ban is over.
Our next day out is planned potentially for the end of June, but that is dependant on whether I need a hysterectomy (still no appointment thankfully).
I am seeing my Mum on Sunday-we are getting her Complan to try..

I am so glad you got your day out. Sneakers look fun and comfy.
Thank you!You look lovely. Love your gallery wall too
❤️
I still have to learn to accept that I look much older than I feel. Photos of myself have been scaring me lately.

To me, you look very fit, chic, and youthful
I particularly adore your hair @cechetti , I’m glad you had such a nice day
Can you say, hand on heart, you ever looked at a picture of yourself and thought "Wow I look great!"?
Coz you do, and right now!
March 2025 stats
I have returned from my Asia trip and wow did I shop lol. I went to the luxury outlet malls in Shanghai and with a 50-65% discount (not including VAT refund) I could not say no.
Some highlights: A YSL cropped blazer that would have been $3400 USD came out to $1400. YSL heels 50% off. 2 Isabel Marant T shirts 50% off. A pair of Nikes for $30.
I feel like going back every year just to buy RTW haha.
I did buy some things out of unfortunate necessity. There was a heat wave for 5 days that was in the 80s and all I brought were late winter/early spring clothes, go figure lol. But I made sure to buy clothes I know I would continue to wear in the states. So I guess that’s my early clothing haul for the coming summer lol
2 SLGs: one mainly for hotel, subway and metro card easy access. One cute kitty one from a street seller I couldn’t say no lol.
Pretty happy with all the clothes I got. I saved thousands. This allows me to focus on the bags and jewelry on my wishlist for this year!
- 0 bags in; 0 bags out
- 9 / 14 bags used
- Most used bag: triple tie for the 3 bags I brought on my trip: Moynat Oh tote, YSL envelope, and Prada re-edition
- SLGs: 2 in / 0 out
- Accessories: 1 in / 0 out
- Shoes: 3 in / 0 out
- Jewelry: 0 in / 0 out
- Clothes: 12 in/ 2 out
- Other: 2 makeup palettes

Well done!
That is the sort of success I’d been hoping for on my shopping trip, but my head was partly elsewhere thinking about my Mum, and I was slightly guilty about enjoying myself whilst she’s so ill.
I would totally buy that SL jacket, it's phenomenal. Congratulations on everything and for being conscientious too.
