Loquita, I keep coming back to this thread for some positive reinforcement. I love how inspirational all the ladies are and how supportive everybody is of this process.
You see, I don't have a lot of bags at all (a Treesje, which is my "throw down" bag and 3 RM's) but before I found the tpf, I would buy maybe 2 bags a year and would faithfully sell one to fund another. Don't get me wrong I love bags but I was in control of my purchases.
Well, since coming to tpf, it has been (a seemingly) endless vicious cycle of bag buying/selling and you mentioned something many posts ago about being tired over the constant buying/selling. I am over it. The bags I have now I love but am afraid to take them out for fear of getting them dirty/stained--how sad is that?! So they sit in my closet looking pretty while I beat up my poor Treesje.
This thread has seriously inspired me to buy exactly what works for me and hey, it's okay if I only have 1 or 2 bags because they will be classic pieces, investments that won't go out of style like zippered this or tasseled that (if you know what I mean...).
So thank you Loquita for starting and continuing this insightful thread!
