Impulse buy and I'm loving it!! The metallic leather is soft yet seems durable against flaking. Exterior pockets are crossgrain in oxblood and easily fit my phone.

Love the strap with this one. Always a good sign when you move right into it,

I was afraid the strap would be too busy with the Cs but I think they are subtle enough irl. I switched into it at the mall like a crazy person lol.

Yes, if you truly love it and think it will stay in your collection and you truly are not going to buy a bag for the whole year (a year is a really long time, I went for 6 months and it was really hard)

A full ban would be very hard for me! I’m still working on getting all my thoughts together and setting my bag plan for 2019. I would say most of my bag purchases were planned in 2018 up until December sale time [emoji23] And I think my total acquisitions isn’t too terrible. So I’d like to purchase a couple during the year and then allow myself to get great deals come next holiday sale time. I think this works well for me. And also continue to get all the items listed / sold that are in my out the door pile!

My new dreamer has a smiley face on the back. Whoever shipped it, tucked in one of the handles in the back pocket like a dumbass. I'm wondering if I should return and get another.

It might go away with time. Did you try hitting it with a hairdryer?

That sounds good. I agree — a full ban is full on crazy for us here, lol. I wanted to do one year of no bags but 6 months was all I could do. There is one day left this year — I am wondering if I should get anything before the door (to buy) shuts.

Lol yeah.. I kinda found that out with my kisslock 38 bag. I was always against going over $500. That bag was $895 but with every penny to me because I love love love that bag! Yeah I know how easily I go over now. I bought 3 KH Crystal bags at FP (another thing don't usually don't want to do). My store wasn't going to get any so once I got my hands on them I was unable to return. I'm still tempted to collect all Crystal embellished bags from the Selena collections even though I don't really care for her name on it.
I'm also afraid of being not so impressed once I get it. Lol. I wanted to see it in person but my local Nordstrom doesn't carry it.

I don't have anything in my collection over $500. I think once I bought something over $600 but I returned it. I don't want to end up on that slippery slope.

A year long ban would be very very hard!

I haven't tried. It's not too bothersome as it's on the back. I'm going to leave it stuffed with thick flat padding but not sure if that will work. What does the hair dryer do? Dry and shrink the leather?

It heats it up so it is easier to reshape.

Which dreamer is this one? I know you bought the colorblock/rivets (black/blue), and the tattoo, but I don't remember another?

Thanks for the explanation. My SA had applied lotion and it feels softer than the front.

It's the tattoo one. My camera lies [emoji38]. It's unable to capture the green color. Looks teal here doesn't it?

Oh that’s pretty, especially with the strap!

It looks really blue! Too funny!

If I tried to do an entire year I’d just be setting myself up for failure [emoji23] I had a long span from June until November where I did not purchase any bags and I think that was pretty good lol
