Off topic venting please, I have been consumed by the C-virus panic the last couple of days since we are in the same metro area as a few confirmed cases. yikes. The stores are all out of any sanitizer, alcohol wipes, and even most soaps now :sad:. Amazon is mostly out too. I got some extra water and canned food etc. I want to buy some hand sanitizer from Bath Body works since they are the only store with any left (tonight at least). DH thinks I am crazy and that good old fashioned hand washing should suffice. I hate to waste money but want to be prepared.
That is interesting about the sanitizer items being sold out. We always have Purell in the car to use after we have been out and about. I also use it at work after using common areas. It is just a habit. I do think it helps some. I am not so crazy about it that I never have germs, lol, so my immune system still gets to do some work. But I think it is an extra measure that helps some. We use the aloe purell, but even with the regular it has never been overly drying.
 
I have looked at this bag for probably the last 10 sales. Lol. I felt like it might not look as good in person, etc, so I just kept looking at images online and decided with 50/20 off I would go for it. Then I almost returned it due to the slight wear from being tossed around by Coach, but decided for the price, etc, and knowing you couldn’t really see the flaws I would keep it. I have used it the last few days and really like it!

Unrelated side note.... my Cassie came completely wrapped today. Yea! I did the garage opening so haven’t had much time to look at it given it is a Saturday and we are all home. Lol. But it looks great.

Glad you kept it. And yaayyy for Cassie! It’s been in and out of my cart for the past few days haha It’s killing me because I think the Cassie would be perfect for my upcoming trip. Most of my smaller bags I use on the weekends don’t have much flexibility, meaning I can only fit my daily essentials. I find when I’m traveling I need extra room for things like sunscreen, or maps, tickets etc. All the videos I’ve watched for what fits in a Cassie show it can stretch and adjust.

It really is an interesting bag. It is narrow, lightweight and easy to carry, but holds more than expected. It is so easy to use. I think you would like it for travel.
 
Very cool! Did you just add more holes to the strap?
Yes, I did--way up higher from the lowest one that was there. I like a length that can go on the shoulder but that the strap doesn't hang down too far when hand carrying since that is what I usually do.

I used to do this all of the time until I started buying some alternate straps so I can keep my originial straps in their perfect condition. But I am not much of a seller, etc, and I didn't feel like buying a strap right now, so just altered this one like I used to. The con is that you have to cut the strap, which is fine for me--but I realize for those selling bags it isn't ideal.
 
Well I made it to my goal for my ban! March 1st. That’s about 10 weeks. I think I did good :smile:

My willpower has had enough and I’m about to cave for the Navy Cassie haha

That’s great!!! I am really liking the look of the Navy Cassie too (but it is too small for me even on light days :(, plus I have 4 navy shoulder bags, one with tag on too, lol).
 
Here is the pic of the Cassie . Keep in mind I shortened the strap (I didn't have a long enough mautto strap in this color, and I can't handle long crossbody straps).

So pretty. I really love the look of the navy, more than the black one. Do you plan to use it as a regular weekday bag or on the weekend?

Thanks for your reply on the sanitizer. I am glad I spent the $30 to buy some for the peace of mind, lol. Since all the major online stores are out too (target, Walmart, cvs, walgreen, etc). Plus the ones from BBW should smell nice — peach, coconut, etc.
 
Lol, just clouds. I wish you all can help me use these lemons instead of throwing the fallen ones in the green recycling can :sad: (seems wasteful but don't want to use ones that might have been gnawed on by squirrels and other critters.).
I would certainly take some of your lemons. You're too far! :P We all need to move into houses in a beautiful island. We would have lots of lemonade, among other drinks, from @Iamminda's tree. We could also do bag sharing/trading. Wait, if we are at the beach, there is minimal need for bags. Oh well! :-s
 
SLGs are fun little treats — can’t wait to see yours :smile:.

Here they are.
I'm a TJ Maxx addict. I'm actually pretty good about just window shopping (I treat finding a really nice item like a fun treasure hunt, so I it can be just fine to look and find and not buy) but TJ Maxx a few weeks was actually where I got my very first Coach bag. There were two I loved (from the same collection) but I eventually only left with one.

...aaand a couple days later went back to see if the other one was still there because I just couldn't pass it up. (It was! Now I own both.)

That's a really lucky find! With TJMaxx it's usually- buy it now or forget it. LOl! Congrats on your two bags!
