Wow! Twelve is an incredible goal for you! Good work! That's a good number for me, too. I just don't change bags as often as others do.

That right there is my problem, neither do I. So i realistically don't need more than say 4? maybe half dozen. I admit some i am keeping because i wish i could use them but can't with the nerves still pinching. SO basically dumb logic.

Agree on the need to try to stay more banned (or more semi-banned, lol). Good job on not buying any bags in 2018 so far. I would love to downsize some more even though I already reached a good (enough) number last month. Ideally, I would love to get down to 12 — but emotionally and realistically, I don’t think I can ever do that. With my latest purchase, I am one above my number so I need to sell one. Like I said earlier today, it would be a ban island miracle if I could not buy any more bags in 2018 and just buy one SLG. A miracle (for all on ban island and beyond) is welcome right now.
Thanks!
12 would be a great number, but I’m like you & not really sure I can get there. I haven’t come up with a number of bags, but I plan to work on that soon!
It would definitely be a ban island miracle if we all kept our bans [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I have a Coach gift card so I’m not sure how long I will last!
Good idea about remaining on the island. I haven't purchased a new bag since September. I bought a Coach Bleeker flap in Hunter Green and an MZ Wallace. I have three bags I plan to sell, and one is already on ebay. Another will be there this evening. I'm looking at something for the Coach promotion, and I'm justifying it with my one in and one out rule although I have 3 freebies. I may also see if there's another bag I can sell or donate. I'm really trying to downsize although I can't seem to get below 16-17 bags (not counting SLGs).
Wow! September? That’s great! Good job on listing bags for sale. The 1 in 1 our rule is great if we can stick to it. I tried that once and failed miserably.
What bag are you eyeing with the PCE?
 
Thanks E and HS. I don’t think I can ever get down to 12 (in my dreams maybe) but perhaps down to 20? But even 20 would be tough since I have been carefully evaluating and paring down for awhile now. But so far, I love my two new purchases this year so hopefully I am going in the right direction. E— good job on not buying a bag for about 6 months.

Don't get so caught up on an exact number what works for some doesn't work for all. Go for what your comfortable with, if your feeling overwhelmed pare back if you aren't, no one but yourself do you need to justify the amount to.

Part of me would love 20 bags.. but i'd never use them, that is the actual cold hard truth. Heck i meant to put my Easter bunny pocket bac on today and still haven't.... i am purse lazy, clearly. lol

I'm looking at the Edie 42 in Beechwood. I really love this bag with the mixed leather and have it in black. I love the gold hardware, and I really don't have a bag in that color. At first I thought about the Parker, but I'm starting to reconsider (although it's not included in this PCE) because I have a Samsung Galaxy 8 Note, and I doubt it will fit in that back slot.
