That's great news! Nothing beats being together. I hope you figured out what's up with the bag that was supposed to be a gift. Can your DH get his money back?
Yes, definitely!
The bag is suppose to be here tomorrow. So we will see.
I'm nervous to get it authenticated. He didn't know that was a thing you are suppose to do. Lol even if it's fake, I'll carry it. He's so excited he found one that we can afford.
Idk if they're reasonably priced when they're 130-200 dollars. But we can't afford that. Lol I'm assuming he bought this one off poshmark but I haven't been able to find any below 100 on there that isn't white.

That's another thing. I've been extremely drawn to white here lately and that is an awful decision. Lol I have the kids and IDC to get dirty so white isn't the best. I mean heck, I changed the oil in my truck Sunday. I'm too comfortable with getting dirty to get a white bag.
 
Oh no! I bet that made you feel bad. You have your pretty slg's, though. Maybe you can show us sometime?
My DH gets on my case too. I've had quite a mess in our place recently. The worst is my closet. I am down to like 45% now. :doh: Anyway, a while DH says: why don't we use part of our bathroom to make you another closet? You seem to need the space....:annoyed: ok, mr not neat! Not needed, thank you. :shocked::smartass::biggrin:

That’s fantastic that you got rid of 55%. I swear I work at “decluttering” here and there sometimes but DH never notices the small/tiny progress.
 
My Navy Cassie arrived the other day. I’m happy with my decision to end my ban for her. It will be such a great travel bag for me. Plenty of room to hold my card case, wristlet, lip balm, sunglasses, map, tickets, phone, Invisalign case (a must for me these days) and of course my mini hand sanitizer lol

Now if only I could fit all my rolls of toilet paper in there ... :smile:

Beautiful contrast with the tangerine feather and Cassie's navy leather. I'm thinking of doing something similar with a feather, I like how you've styled yours so much. :love:
 
Oooh, I love it! Just yesterday I was playing with the tearoses on the website, but on my phone I could not really appreciate how it would turn out. Yours is beautiful. Congrats!

ETA: Did you send it away or was it done locally? How did you make it happen? If I remember correctly, your local store is not the nicest place.
Well, my store got better, but has since closed due to my dying mall, but they weren't a customization store anyway. I called a store two hours away that has been really friendly the few interactions I have had with them. I asked the SA if I could mail the bag, and he said yes, and he would text me options, etc. I mailed the bag, texted him a pic of one I had customized online (I just used a black cassie as an example), and once the bag came he duplicated that, took a pic, and sent it back. This all happened just from last Friday (that was when I sent it, and it came back to me today). very smooth...

Thanks! I like the extra color and design on the bag. It adds something that I felt it needed. I was used to colorblock Cassie bags...
 
I’m happy to be back on my ban even though I’m good with my Cassie purchase haha. I was cleaning up my bag storage area a couple of days ago and was disgusted with myself lol

I had some things I wanted to buy for the current 30% off sale, no bags but a charm and some shoes. But I think I’m going to skip it. I may let myself buy something small during my trip but hopefully I can avoid doing too much shopping lol
I need to get a grip, after buying Cassie and waiting for pink Charlie 28. She's expected on Thursday but I will probably no get her until Friday if I have to go to UPS to pick her up.

I am also looking at a few things at the Coach PCE. Definitely the City Sole shoes (not sure what pair) and charms.
 
OK thanks ML. I tried on the empriente PM last Fall — the width is not enough for my daily stuff and I find the two compartments a little restrictive in terms of space (great for organization though) but it should be fine for me as a light travel bag. At this point, I shouldnt get the navy one because any left on the next FOS will likely be returns :sad:
Oh, that makes me sad because the navy is such a pretty colour. I think you would have really like it. I understand what you're saying, though. It sure seems to be popular and has already been purchased by many, even on the forum. I haven't got the impression that many people are returning, so would that mean the the ones left are still new? I'm quite inexperienced with FOS so if I'm just uttering gibberish, please jump in and correct me.
 
Lol! 2 bags a week would be impressive. I too got both Cassies thinking of travel. Because, I don't already have enough travel bags, right? :blush::angel:
I always have trouble deciding about travel bags. I don't want anything nice to get ruined, but at the same time I want to look and feel good about what I'm carrying.

C, when you travel by plane, do you put your handbag in your travel tote under the seat in front of you or do you have an oversized nylon bag to pop it in to?
 
Congrats! Mine came in too! Wrapped to the nines and perfect. I am not used to such a dark blue. I feel like it could perfectly replace black, don't you? Somehow, plain bag lovin' carterazo is thinking this bag could use a couple embellishments.... I am considering making a trip to the store that has all those goodies just to see how it could look... Hmmm. :biggrin:
Yes, the navy could replace black but also I love it just for being navy. I love navy for a dark neutral in the summer, just as a change-up from black. I'm getting a significant collection in this colour, including my midnight city tote, tearose clutch and navy Rogue.

I'm enjoying looking at all the embellishments for Cassie. So many beautiful design possibilities!
 
Yes, definitely!

That's really sweet of your DH! I hope it is the real deal. About the color, I think you should get what you love. It it gets dirty, you clean it with a baby wipe. Off white is my go to neutral. I have way too many light color bags. It started when DS was little. I just didn't worry about getting my bag dirty. I figured I would just clean it with a wipe. :biggrin: I don't wear a lot of dark jeans, so that probably helped a lot. :cool: Enjoy yours when it comes in!!!
I love that you can change the oil in your truck yourself. That is awesome! :flowers:

That was a really fast and smooth process. It turned out great!
