2025 Resolution: Shopping my own Bag and SLG Collection

Oops, I forgot, I just ordered a new pair of DMs although they now belong to the May tally. It felt really weird not having a spare pair should anything happen, and as you may know I had to throw out a pair that broke and were unrepairable (not the stitched sole kind). I had to order them from Free People though.

I am still looking for a nice pair of shoes for an occasion, Chanel had a great pair to wear under my Saint Laurent wide-legs, but it's too late for my cousin's big day next week and possibly the double function I'm going to 5 days later. I may wear some shop-from-my-own-closet Terry de Havilands, Gucci, Sonia Rykiel or Prada.

DH has a new growth and is going to have an operation - my mind is everywhere but I'd rather not 'say' too much about it atm
Hugs! Hang in there!

Thank you-it Was a bit big in the shoulders, although the hips were perfect(and I have very narrow hips), I think in hindsight I should have bought it, And the Versace skirt and gabardine trousers in IT 36 I tried on..
I'm sure you' ll find a suit that will fit you perfectly!
Big in the shoulders would have meant complicated and certainly costly tailoring.

Didn’t get to use my bags much because was busy at work catching up after my trip.

But I did a bit of spring cleaning after all my shopping lol so that was nice.

Brought this bag out today. Not the most spring of colors but green reminded me of growth and how flowers spring up. Also got this twilly on my trip as well and I thought it did a nice job of brightening up an otherwise more serious and mature bag.

Sorry, I’ve been playing a lot of catch up and I wish you all well!
This is what happens when I take long vacation, I have a lot of people coming up to me with things. Good to be busy of course, but I hadn’t taken a long vacation since the pre-pandemic days and it was a bit of an adjustment to follow-up with everyone.
