I'm glad you found the bag you wanted!
It's good to see other people here who are interested in maintaining a smaller number of bags. I see so many women on tPF constantly buying bags and admitting that many of them are just sitting in dustbags unused with tags still attached. That is such a waste of money.
I remember going overboard when I first got into bags in 2007. I started with
Coach and got caught up in the cycle of checking the outlet for bargains and buying/returning. Luckily, I got out of that cycle after a few months when I realized that I was returning most of the stuff because I really didn't care for the styles. My first lesson - don't buy something just because it appears to be a bargain. After a brief run with LP (too casual for me), I tried BE and RM in early 2008 and found bags that were perfect for me. Since I want to use the bags I have over and over again, I certainly don't want to keep buying new bags. Less than 10 works for me!
Loquita - It's great to get to a point where you really enjoy and use all of the bags that you have. It sounds like you're one step closer to that point!
Hey
msterling dear!!
I couldn't agree with you more.
You know, I have been hovering between 12 and 4ish bags for a while now, and using them all on a fairly regular basis, but even 12-10 bags is too much for my hyperactive brain.
Here's where the bag plan currently stands:
1. Black YSL Zippy Hobo (on the way)
2. Red YSL Patent Medium (also called large sometimes) Easy Bag
3. LV Mono Neverfull MM (just purchased)
And at the moment, I already own:
1. Black Crash Belen Echandia Love Me Midi
2. Black Haze Rebecca Minkoff 3-Zip Rocker (but this is more of a small leather good, in my opinion; it's essentially a flat pouch on a strap, lol)
Okay, so here's the dilemma (and should all of my "problems" be like this, hahahaha!!!):
Today I went and purchased the LV Neverfull that I have been planning to buy, and then the plan was to wait and sell some more items to fund a good chunk of my final bag purchase, the YSL Red Patent Easy, which costs almost $300 more than the Neverfull.
Soo....I get home this evening from buying the Neverfull, and I see a NWT authentic (but I am still getting it checked out by the YSL folks, so no worries) Red Patent YSL Easy in
exactly the size I want on *bay, for about the same price as the Neverfull. (It is a popular current season bag, so this is a nice price).
Now, to be honest, I am lusting after the Easy more than the Neverfull, and it is a better sloppy weather bag than the Neverfull, which has the untreated vachetta trim that can get problematic with water.
My question to you all: Should I return the Neverfull ASAP, and get the Easy instead? (I was considering contacting the seller and asking her if I can BIN it now, and then pay her on Friday).
My gut says yes....
Thoughts?
PS: And I can't get
both the Neverfull and the Easy bag right now. I only pay cash for my bags, so my budget only allows for two at the moment.
) by the YSL patents, and they are well priced. YSL patents are very soft and don't show smudges or fingerprints. So it seems like a great choice.
Where did the years go? I still feel like I'm 30! 
) Anyhoo, the patent leather was the nicest I have ever felt and I think the red patent would be the perfect pop of color on a rainy day! Just my 2 cents...
