Lo - Only just now saw this thread, but it's really inspiring and a pleasure to read since I love the way you write!
My number is around/slightly less than 10 now, excluding smaller bags/leather goods, and honestly, I'm not sure I can trim that number down in the long run, but you've inspired me to do so in the short run. I'm realizing that of those 10ish, I definitely don't absolutely LOVE all of them, or use them as much as I should (I'm using only about 4 regularly), so I'm definitely considering purging and ultimately replacing those with more classic bags that I really love and that are a pleasure for me to carry over and over.
Most of my purchases are more thought out since they are all bought debit/cash, but I'm realizing that they should be even more thought out, and if I don't end up loving/using something, it should go to someone who will love it/use it even more. I'm slowly clearing out.
I do clothing purges regularly, and it really makes me feel so much better! I do love the idea of having a goal in mind. I've had my eye on getting a Bayswater for a while now, so I may just have to use that as my incentiveThough I do love YSL as well - good choices!
I think I will continue to examine my collection over the next few weeks and figure out what I can and can't do without. Thank you for the inspiration, and please keep us updated!
Hi there!!

Great to see you here!! And you sound like you know just what I am talking about...go for the Bays.

I repeat: go for the Bays. It is so lovely - I don't think that online stock photos do that bag justice once you've seen one IRL. GL to you, too!!
