Congrats! So pretty. Trims are awesome. I don't have this size, but I might someday. Twilly wrap looks great!!

Thank you! The Twilly is already loose - I'll have to find a better solution. Now that I think about it, I've got a whole bunch of those tiny magnets...

I love this simplicity of this bag! Is it a new acquisition?
Click to expand...

Yes, I really like the skinny, no-gusset shape of the Trim I. I was super happy to find it with the zipper (for travel security) of the Trim II. I was suspicious, but bababebi authenticated it. It arrived in February and the weather is finally nice enough to put away the black bags!

Purse picture! My twilly game needs improvement, and I'm not sure how well it will stay on a flexible handle. But I needed something to protect it from summer grubby hands. Is there a thread for twilly handle-wrapping tips?

I do remember see a pictorial on handle wrapping but I can't find it. It may be in this thread, but at 215 pages long, I am not going to hunt through it. Lot's of inspiration though.

In some lights the purse reads as pale blue, but it's a perfect match to the gris perle of the twilly. The card box is for scale, slightly larger than 2 packs of cards. (Yes, I found the cards online, and they match my *other* 2 twillies in red and blue. I think I'm on Ban Island now.)

This is a big purse at the 38 size. I definitely could have gone with a 35 or even 31. OTOH I'm 5'7" and fat so it's not wildly out of proportion, and in an emergency I can put my laptop in it.

Congrats on your new bag! I really like the color. Did you try wrapping the twilly starting from the middle of the handle? I found out that tip and it worked really well for me.
I hope big bags are coming back in style because I just bought one also!!

Thank you - there are some lovely pictures there! The tips so far are general, but there's lots more to read. :)

Thank you! I had luck tucking one end through the buckle to stabilize it and wrapping it a lot longer (so it covers the whole handle, and also shows off the cards, which is nice). I can just pull both ends once a day or so to retighten now. Daily purse maintenance... :lol:

Stopped back at Boyds today to try this dress that has been in the back of my mind for the last week! It’s by a small Parisian label called Fete Imperiale.
Here it is on the hanger:

Here is the detail on the skirt:

It is very sheer and did not think it was very flattering on me at all - much preferred it on the hanger. Glad I can move on from it!

The store also just opened a vintage jewelry counter and I tried on these AMAZING diamond earrings from Chanel’s 1932 plumes de Chanel collection. I. Died. View attachment 4030743

If you don't look good in it, then I don't know anyone who could. Such a shame, like you said the print is beautiful.

Lovely earrings

It's not a bad thing to have gone for the 38 (looks like the Trim I) these bags look better without bulges plus you're fairly tall. I have the Gucci Bouvier which is very similar, this hobos are supposed to be roomy.

Apologies everyone, DUT will have to be postponed this week as I've been ill today :sad:

Sorry you are ill. It seems like all of us have "the malaise" today based on the lack of pictures. I have heard that those who live in the northern US have had their spirits crushed by this long and cold winter. Those who regularly escape to Florida for the winter usually return home about now, but are planning to stay through the end of May since there is still snow on the ground in places.

Get well soon @papertiger!

I was having my piano tuned today after too long a spell and the noises were driving me a little crazy! DH and I decided to escape for a bite to eat when the technician was finished. So here is my dress up Thursday ensemble! Don't worry, I wore shoes when I left the house:biggrin:

Thank you Nicole! The main problem was that it was so sheer - I would need to get a 3/4 length slip to go under it and I feel like that would ruin the look. And yes! [emoji85] well, sky high to me anyway. Price was $7300!

I thought you looked lovely in it,but at this price, you can get a Chanel jacket and wear it a lot more!

Congrats! Trims are great practical bags! I think they are right up there with Bolide on the practical side of Hermes.
