This is the mindset that I'm trying to reach. I think I am finally getting there. It helps that I have so many other things to keep me busy. Plus, I adore my current bag collection. :smile1:

I'm with you on this! I want to be happy with my 20 bags! Even start to sell them off. I feel like I'm getting poorer and making someone richer!

I don't understand why we want so many bags lol my husband has only one black wallet. I'm doing well not wanting to get anything.

I'm happy to hear you are content. I need to tell myself enough already! Use the bags you currently have, lol. I want to be more selective with what I purchase this year. We should definitely support each other in trying to achieve this goal. 😊

Ok so I fell off the bag wagon. I was good the other day when returning some shoes. I looked and was even in line with a bag but put it back then left. I was very pleased with myself. So today I had to shop for a baby gift and started window shopping again. Well, I got a bag and a few shoes. The first picture is MMK bags in ballet pink with silver hardware. I couldn't decide between the two as I love the shape of the right bag (I think it's called Selby) but love the leather on the Riley. So I left to think it over. Stopped by Tory Burch and picked up this quilted style. Hello it has gold hardware, lol! I'm not usually into quilting but I found this color so unique and the leather is so soft and squishy. My first Tory Burch and I feel good about it although I must say the prices are a bit higher than most contemporary brands. The service was impeccable. Still thinking about those other two bags, so darn cute! I will consider this bag as an early birthday gift. Thanks for letting me share my long story. Back to trying this ban island.

Oh I know how this feels! I always tell myself I won't want anything else but once I see something I want I can't get it out of my head. I love the ballet Riley! But I like the color of the Shelby more. This is why I returned the ballet Camille, as it looked too light to me for a ballet pink. I've been obsessing over a black Riley with silver hardware, and I also can't stop thinking of another coach bag, either the rhyder or Mickie. I really don't need anything though!

I also love that Tory burch!!! I love TB bags but they are pricey. I find them to be good quality. But I just returned my 2 Tory burch bags that I bought in December as I couldn't justify them.

I'm still waiting on 2 coach bags that I bought from the outlet sale, which come on Tuesday. I hope I don't fall in love with either of them but if I do, I plan to keep only one.

I also want to sell my coach minetta and Rebecca minkoff Cupid as I'm not using them.

I am an emotional buyer. I just had an awful day at work! so I want to get a new bag. It's like a band aid on my wound. I feel that I deserve a new bag because I work so hard putting up with stuff at work. But, I am being good and am going to look at my collection and switch out a bag. I have so many bags with tags on them. I don't know why I save them and not use them. I cringe when I think about how much I paid for them. One bag can feed a family for a whole year in another country. I am setting a new goal to retire early. I'm sick of working. I need to save more money so I can retire early. All the stress is not good for me. So that is my thinking to keep me on the wagon. We can do this.

The good people at Michael Kors and other brands know what they are doing: constantly creating the desire to purchase a new bag. It's very hard to fight because this entire industry is based on making us believe that the next bag is the ultimate bag.

Wow you are absolutely correct! I know no one is forcing us to buy anything and the bags are beautiful. I think I need to really rethink my wants and needs.

I completely agree with what you said about the cs at TB, its part of the reason I shop there and why I don't mind the higher prices[emoji5]️

Love the colour of the TB bag! Looks similar to MK Blush. Less pink than the Ballet. It'll go with everything for spring / summer!! Love the ballet with SHW, not surprised you couldn't decide between those two beauties!

I'm currently doing well with not buying any more bags. I've not seen anything special enough to come off the wagon. DH and I are determined to move to a bigger place this year so I'm very motivated by that to save money. Be a great feeling to put a few £K in when the time comes. Of course there is room in the budget if I DO see something tempting...! We're off to Texas in March so I'm sure there will be a few shopping opportunities coming my way. :graucho:

Oh you haven't gotten the coach bags yet? I know you were planning on returning possibly one or even both. Black Riley with silver hardware looks great but do you really need another? Lol! As I woke up this morning I am second guessing my choice on this TB bag. My family says it looks oldish...wth does that mean?! I will sleep on it a bit more and see if i would rather have the MMK Selby. Have you decided on a baby bag or plan on using your LC? If so at least that is out of your way.

Aww, sorry to hear about your day. Hope it got better. Yes, use your current bags which sounds like you already have many to choose from and save up. Think of that and maybe that will make you feel better! I will also try to heed your advice.

Thanks and yes the colors are similar. As I told Pinkalicous, I'm second guessing my choice. I'll sleep on it a tad bit and see how I feel.
You definitely have a reason to curb your bag purchases, a great reason and the fact that nothing is calling out to you is fantastic! While you and hubby are in Texas if something does call out to you I think 1 would be ok. 😉

I'm in LOVE with those MK sandals!! Ever since you posted a pic for them I've been on the hunt lol. All the sites that have them on sale are out of my size. I need a sale to buy! How are you liking them?

I think so too re. Texas... :yes: I think a Sloan with SHW is calling me. I could do with a smart shoulder bag in a soft leather and I can't afford Chanel! (Property or purses...!)

Sleep on it is a good idea. Personally I love the colour, it goes with everything. But if it doesn't make your heart sing then a return for something you love is the best option.

I have observed with Ballet, that all the demo bags I've seen look quite dirty in store. The TB colour might be easier to keep clean? Just a thought.

Btw, your tan in the Ballet photo is fab! I'm so jel! Suspect you live in a lovely sunny climate?

I haven't stopped spending all together. Brought some earrings in Tiffany in Boston, easier to store than another MK :giggles:
