Involuntary Coach ban support group

[Syren]

Please indulge me in a redo. It’s been bothering me that I left out @eleanors36 (a long time ban islander) on my Christmas card (even though I had a disclaimer saying sorry for leaving anyone out). So I made a new card with my Happy New Year wishes. (I may be leaving out someone again but this is the last time I will attempt to do this, lol).

Have a great first week of the year, lovely ban islanders

I love it! LT is a cherry!

Sooo. I have some big news. Some of you may remember that a couple years ago, I mentioned that DH and I would be moving. Since then, we've looked at more houses than I ever want to see again, but suddenly found one a few days ago. We dashed down to this area (about 30-40 miles south of Atlanta) and made an offer that was accepted today!!! So at long last, we will be moving in the spring. We have some time before then because I really can't do much before May, but we had to grab this house. Really looking forward to getting back to warmer weather, and hey! Some retail! There's a Target about 15 minutes from this house. A Belks and a Dillard's! Good grocery stores! What will I ever do??!!

So excited!

Amazing news congrats! I’ve done a some driving in that area of GA, while doing some hunting for zombies .... uummmm I mean hunting for walking dead filming locations [emoji23]

Sounds like you’ll have everything now! Yaaayyyy!

I thought about nominating myself to be the next one to crack (just in case), but I'm looking at all my gorgeous new stuff and ...I think not! So I vote for @Syren !

Besides, I just paid for housing and tuition for both kids. I need some time to re-group. And I'm feeling rather protective of my wallet until next week when I order my LV wallet for my birthday . (SLGs don't count right? )

On another note, I sold a clutch and a small wallet so picked up my consignment money today! I'm throwing that into my new wallet fund.

Edited to add: I dropped off another bag and a cosmetic case at the consignment store as well. Today was a good clear out of Sporting Goods, consignment store, Salvation Army thrift store and the women's shelter.

Congrats on your sales! And good job on dropping more items off!

Good idea to add to your new wallet fund [emoji1]

My Dark Berry Charlie is scheduled to arrive today! Very excited about that [emoji1] I will also finally have the opportunity to drop the Clarkson at UPS so off it goes back to Coach. I bid you good day! Lol

Also, as I was reading through the thread seeing everyone who voted for me to break the ban [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I got a notification that I sold another bag! That gave me a good giggle. It’s kind of an SLG I guess, but I actually forgot about it and found it a week ago and decided to list it. I think I actually made a few dollars on this one! It’s another one that I didn’t think anyone would be interested in but it had interest very quickly. Just goes to show I don’t know anything about anything.

I checked my Nordstrom rewards last night and only $20 will expire at the end of the month and then I have until the end of March for the next to expire. I think I’ll end up using the $20 on something so I can keep waiting for a sale to use the rest. I’ve been waiting for the black and rust signature Parker to go on sale but it just doesn’t seem to happen lol

Welcome neighbor! You hold up the Southside and I'm still reigning over the North. You are OTP just like me.

For the freebie,

My 1st choice would have been the master, @houseof999, but since we can’t pick her, I’ll go with her shopping padawan: @Syren!

You can pick her. I just didn't want everyone to pick her otherwise there is no contest.

I love it! LT is a cherry!

Um, that is a loaded statement. LOL!

 

[LauraTracy]

Stare at me. Just me. Not bags. I'm worth it and you'll feel better that you did.

Congratulations!! I bet you’re excited to go from our little town to a bigger place with shopping and things to do! And you have a Target! That’s awesome!

I've been selling some of them on Ebay for the past couple years. I've sold two North Face coats and about 5 pair of boots and booties. I've also sold some sweaters and may wait to sell more until I get there. Just depends. I may change my mind when I have to pack everything in the spring!

I was like you with the winter stuff. I wasn’t sure what to do and was planning to keep some stuff but when it was time to pack I got rid of just about everything!!

So true. I know a lot of people who move from the north to south Florida, and after a couple years, they start wearing sweaters when it goes in the 60s. Seriously!

This is so me. And I’ve only been here since June [emoji23]

@eleanors36 One thing I forgot to mention. If you are coming from a snow belt, KEEP your snow shovel and ice scraper. #1 you'll need it from time to time and #2 you can earn the amount of five bags in one hour when an inch of snow hits around here. Yes, you become GOD and a well paid one at that.

Can MBJ be my new ban Cheerleader? He’s wearing Coach so it’s a 2fer. I took this from this thread https://forum.purseblog.com/index.php?threads/MBJ-x-Coach.1002495/ for more pics.

Welcome MBJ!

 

[LauraTracy]

Actually I may take that back. Since he's dealing in our drug, we might have to limit his visits. No swiping his leather goods. That counts for a not hot!

 

[LauraTracy]

Of course it doesn't hurt to gaze from afar...

My last goodies from 2018 arrived today/yesterday. The grey page 27 and the platinum dreamer 21.
I can wear the page crossbody with my novelty strap, which was the reason I bought it. If I use a small wallet it could be an everyday bag for me!

The dreamer... it is so stinking CUTE! It fits me crossbody and I’ll be able to use it as a weekend bag- my iPhone 7 fits inside easily & I’ll also be able to fit a small wallet, sunglasses, and my keys. I love it!!!

oh my gosh, when DD asked me for the Borough yesterday I was so surprised. Secretly, I thought she forgot about it. But as she was getting her things sorted out, she asked to see my black handbags, "that one that starts with a B?"

So after trying it on, and my beloved smooth black Sophia and the black prairie bud Nolita, she decided the Borough was perfect for her. And I have to admit, it did look very smart on DD, satchel and shoulder carry. It is such an elegant bag. And that bag was in my winter rotation for work! Ah well, what we parents don't do for our children. I did put a kibosh on borrowing any LV until she can afford it herself (any delay tactic I can think of to protect what I've got left).

I looked at the Sarah and Emilie wallets again. The one I love but I think it's discontinued is the French purse. My mom had that style wallet when I was little and I loved the change purse built into the wallet. I liked the smooth, flat kiss lock you could open. I sometimes see a preloved one but they are in rough shape.

I'm feeling confident about my wallet choice now, so plan to call ahead to see if one can be put aside for me. Either that or buy one online and have it delivered to the store for my inspection and approval. My shopping gal-pal whom I bought my Speedy 30 DA with in June (she bought the Neverfull DA) and I are going to pick it up, have a little shop and dinner together.

I wish you, and all the Ladies on our thread, could come to my Louis Vuitton for a birthday meet-up! That would be really special!

It would be so fun to do a birthday meet up with you. In fact, it would be a blast to have birthday meet ups with everyone on the island — I suspect our BDs are spread throughout the year so the good times would just keep on coming every month or so
