Great decision to get rid of the n/s Hamilton. I, too, find it heavy when loaded up, but do need it when I have extra things to carry. I never intended it to be an every day bag so made sure to get it at a great price when I originally purchased both of mine. It's so pretty and great as a large dressy tote, so I'll be keeping both the dark dune and black one in my collection.I carried around the ones I was debating on getting rid of... definitely not in love with those like I was when I first purchased them last summer. After I feel like they don't work for me I really have no qualms about letting them go.
The large luggage, medium navy Selma's and the aqua wallet were the first to go! Then Sunday I packed up the N/S Hamilton to finally use it but couldn't even get myself to cut the tags off because of how much that baby weighed. Carried it around the house a little, thought about it, swapped things over to my large black Selma to compare, then just finally decided the Hamilton's weight just isn't going to work for me.
It is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous in the black/gold in my opinion! BUT I'm not going to reach for it if knowing how much its going to weigh me down and be uncomfortable for me to carry. If I ever find it for a steal of a price I would probably buy it again and have it just as an occasional bag to carry... right now though there are bags out there.. cough, Cindy, cough... that I think are better suited for my lifestyle. So back to the store it went.
With the extra bags gone I feel greatIt's nice to have a small selection to choose from but I think I'm a minimalist at heart because I can't stand having things sitting around not getting used. Plus I love the satisfaction of knowing I sold the stuff I'm not using to purchase something new.
As far as WHICH Cindy I purchased.... that's a surprise! I'm completely stoked about getting it and cannot wait to wear it in thethis spring and summer!!
Since you really only reached for your large black Selma over the others, good call selling both the large luggage and medium navy. Also, the aqua wallet was an easy delete. Now you have room for your Cindy! I can't wait to see which one you picked after it arrives!
