Which one can you not get comfy with?

It's the Poppy Satchel in Licorice. She is really pretty, but the satchel handles are just not feeling right on me. I really thought she would be a great substitute for the black patent sabrina I missed out on, but unfortuntly no. I got her for a good deal at the outlet and my next trip back she goes.

Ahh, okay I have been there, I gave back my Colette and traded it for a Kristen, I had the grey shiny one? I liked it at first but then...I dunno I was really missing the feeling of that smooth soft supple leather that the Kristen's have.
 
Legacy Ali in Whiskey from Aurora outlet trip late last summer - is my oldest
Next is large bone gathered sopia I got in early December, but waiting for it to be a bit nicer out. New acquisitions - denim woven kristen & pale pink satchel - but waiting for warmer weather. I also have the python denim MSB on its way to me for me to bust open when I return from Prague!!! What a great welcome home gift!! I also have one Lockheart bag that I haven't used yet. So 6 total ... is it wrong that I still want to add to my collection?!
 
I know I have several but not sure of the exact count ... I tend to carry one bag for several months or more before I get tired of it, but I buy bags more often than that so I just wait until I'm tired of what I'm carrying (for now) or really feel like carrying something else. I know I have one bag that I'll eventually get rid of though, can't return it because I bought it at Dillard's but I'm pretty sure I'll never wear it, it was an impulse buy.
 
I currently have three bags with tags. They are all waiting for the Spring and Summer to start. I think I will break one out this week to honor the start of Spring but also depends on the weather.
 
I just bought the python madison carryall with my pce but it really is not the bag I wanted. I wanted the madison shoulder python and they were all out and they cant get that bag anymore. I kinda talked myself into the carryall so it sits with the tags while I decide what to do. Its a beautiful bag but for the price even with the pce I'm just not surewhat to do.
 
I did a "purge" late last year and returned some unusued bags and since then I have been trying to be more selective. NOT purchasing a bag that I am unsure about just because "it's pretty and a good price and it will probably be gone soon if I don't buy it today."

I had a hard time returning a few bags, but after I've done it - it's usually a relief. I've only regretted one return and I was lucky enough to be able to rebuy it at the same price a little later.

I've been walking away and not buying much more often. As soon as I am away from the store and driving home I am usually okay with my decision. If I am not okay then I need to go back and get the bag and stew on it for awile.

When I do decide to keep a bag that I have been "stewing on" I have been happy with my decisons.

Right now my only unused bag is a special occassion bag, a Kristen metallic leopard and brown patent clutch with a woven chain handle. I passed on it the first time I saw it but I went back the next day to see if it was still there and it was! I was thrilled to see that I hadn't missed it and glad to be able to buy it. And I got a price adjustment on it a bit later and that made me feel even better.

I like it a lot but I haven't found an occassion to wear it yet. I am going to have to invent an occassion soon because it is more of a winter bag and I hate the thought of not using it until next fall. I like it a lot and I will probably keep it.
 
my teal, mahogany leather and my new pce bag (to be revealed soon!!) all still have their tags. not that i dont intend on using them, but im just waiting for the perfect opportunity to cute their tags!!
 
I still have tags on large black croc sophia, a gray croc madison carry-all, and a white croc-embossed Peyton tote I bought for a wildly low price late last summer (plan to wear this summer). AND on my new black Kristin sage satchel.

I think I just may break the tags off of my black croc sophia tonight!
 
I have 5 and sort of a 6th. It has been snowing for months so it is always wet and dirty from salt, sand and chemicals for the road. I haven't used my ginger, black studded KPS, tartan tote, slate blue zoe MFF, a poppy satchel and only used my putty KPS a few times. I only started my collection in Nov. so am fine with collecting and not using for now.
 
I have been on a buying terror in the last month: I still have tags on my white mist kristen satchel, black kristen sage (exchanged my shell pink for this one), my exotic trim parchment (I think that's the color or bone can't remember right now) sydney. And, from ebay my brown kira, sapphire poppy bella and white ali (no tags on any of those but still haven't used them.)

I know it seems like alot but I haven't purchased a new bag about a year before this so all my purchases have been cash, I saved and saved after I saw the spring/summer preview last fall. Thank goodnes for PCE!
 
I have 1. It seems like so long since there's been a bag in my closet with tags on just sitting there...
Once spring is officially here I'll be pulling her out and snipping those tags though. The weather isn't quite right for spring colors yet, IMO.
