II'm still on ban island but 'm currently planning and saving for my next H purchases. I'm hoping for one more "smaller" purchase at the end of this year and then hopefully, a big purchase in the beginning of 2015.
First question - Boots or Bag?
For the smaller purchase, I'm debating between a GP or jumping boots. Why? I can't afford any more big bag purchases this year but am hoping to get a new Kelly in 2015. A GP purchase will help my relationship with my SA and fill a hole in my collection as I don't have an H tote bag and could use one for business travel that can fit my laptop.
However, I can't stop thinking about those lovely jumping boots - especially because I've yet to find the perfect riding boots. I saw them in swift and box (red and black) and they are TDF! The calves won't be a problem as I have skinny calves but since I'm petite, I will need to look for the shorter height. Also, I wear orthotics (they fit in my Choo's) so not sure if these boots will work. Can anyone chime in?
Second question - new Kelly or vintage passé guide?
I'm saving for a Kelly in 2015 - not sure I will be offered one but I'm preparing. Ideally I want BE, especially since someone mentioned they will make it a more permanent color. If BE is not available, I'm also open to etain or Rouge H though I want to hold out for BE. However, I saw a vintage passé guide that is TDF in a color I love. I know these bags are rare so I'm tempted to grab it and I already have a vintage BBK. However, not sure where this bag will fit in my life? Not sure if I can use it daily (which I plan to do with the Kelly) or if it will become a "special occasion" bag which I don't need. Any thoughts?
Thank you for listening to my long rant. I would love any advice as you guys are the best in helping me rationalize.
