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

The coat looks marvelous on you. Love your bags. What is the black bag? Is that your Evelyn?I was on my phone after an event. I posted in the wrong threadGood thing I don't have another glass of champagne or I would have been on the wrong train too.
It was a 3 bag day (ok, one was a wallet).
The weather was changeable, I had to bring an umbrella and sunglasses for all eventualities. I need to find a smaller, lighter umbrella.
As it was, the day turned out so beautiful, I had the most lovely unhurried Spring walk through Hyde Park
And Cross-posting my new-to-me coat. It's the most complemented on item I have ever owned, people have no idea it's Chanel and wherever I went strangers told me how pretty it is. I think its people are mostly still wrapped-up in dark colours so when they see some colour it's a pleasant surprise.

I am drawn to metallic leathers, so I have a lot of them. This is one of my current favorites, my Massaccesi Phoebe in Barbie Diamond. I liked the pink metallic so much, I also got an SLG pouch in that same leather.
Wow!!! I think this is my first time seeing this. She’s a stunner!
Thanks! I used to have a green one when they first came out in 2012 but like this one (that I purchased resale last October) much better. It feels more elevated and goes with so many more clothing options.Wow!!! I think this is my first time seeing this. She’s a stunner!
Purseblog did a story on the bags when they debuted. https://www.purseblog.com/gucci/gucci-1970-shoulder-bag/ Ultimately, Gucci produced four solid leather colors, at least two python versions and I think a suede.
I’m tempted to get the black leather but I’m trying to be good this year and shop my collection. I still have four bags in consignment to be sold (three have sold so far this year) and have set a mini challenge for myself not to buy any more bags til they’re gone. So far, so good!
I love sequins!
Patterned and multicolor / embellished bags (I’m including two tone in multicolor. And bag buckles as embellishment).
My BV intraciato lizard swirl is complex enough to be embellished or patterned. And, I include my mini Loewe puzzle as patterned). My buffalo dalmation duret; stingray Chanel; B30 maxi bivouac (tone on tone pattern in the toile); and K28 quadrille are patterned

Sorry, the photo is fairly bad...This has been a really quiet week. No more embellished bags? We need eye candy.
Little 50 ies evening bag, completely embellished with beads.
I think this one is the only bag I own, that's actually embellished.

The party went really well-there was live music, dancing, great food, and a really good atmosphere.
There were only 2 children there , but one was a tiny girl aged less than 2, in a white sparkly dress, who took a liking to me, and wanted to dance with me, it was SO cute!
I gave my friend a bracelet and a ring with hearts on, and a lead crystal ring holder, she received millions of presents.
It was all very merry, very different to the funeral I have to attend next Friday.
This morning the cats were tapping me in the cheek as usual waking me up, to get up for food!

An absolutely evocative and special piece.
Super stunning, and very rare. The python is hand-painted.

Subtle, very special, edgy and sophisticated - like their owner
I guess one lesson would be just because I like the look of a bag if the color doesn’t work with my wardrobe it won’t get worn. I love the green Tory bucket but always grab something else.
I have a couple multi color bags. Some that are predominantly one color have been shown in different color weeks.
