My Balenciaga addiction began pretty much the day that I discovered this forum. Innocently looking for some information about a Chanel bag I was going to purchase I ended up over here and couldn't believe all of the different colors I was seeing. Everything looked fabulous and I wanted one of EVERYTHING! I knew I wanted the first style but really needed to get a handle on which colors I wanted so I didn't end up buying things that would sit in my closet and never see the light of day again.
Now that I am getting closer to completing my collection, I thought I would share some updated pictures, plus my creation for helping me determine what colors to chase after. As you can tell, I really like BRIGHT colors. I know creating my own color chart really sounds kinda stupid and probably qualifies me for some 6 step program to kick my Balenciaga addiction...but it really has helped me narrow things down and as a result, I have NOT regreted a single purchase.
My color chart from top to bottom (ultimate collection)
Eggplant '04, Violet '07, Lilac '04, Lilac '06 (yes, purple is my favorite color!)
Turquoise '05, Blueberry '06
Apple Green '05, Seafoam '04, Pistachio '04
Orange '04, Yellow '04
Rouge Theatre '05, Magenta '05
Now onto my current collection pictures My '04 Lilac is missing from this picture, but otherwise this is what I've been able to hunt down in the last year.
Now I think I need a neutral color in a larger size that I can use everday...so I will probalby have to create another chart for that!
I want to blame (thank ) everyone that participates on this forum for feeding my addiction and allowing me to share my collection.
Am I the only one that creates their own color chart in order to determine what to purchase? With all the fabulous colors released each season, how do you decide?
