Well here is the child or baby yoda as we call him, fresh from Build a Bear in the optional matching jammies. He is so cute. My son tried to walk away (he has a ton of stuffed animals), but he had to go back and get him. The jammies were my idea as I figured he gets tired of his robe, lol. He is with his Ty friend, Whopper (the elephant). View attachment 4833464

That is hilarious!

I NEED this Boda (Baby Yoda :smile:) in my life! I don’t even know where there’s a BaB shop around here (many malls here are mostly closed). My DD used to love BaB when we lived elsewhere many years ago — she had a BD party there once.

My kids loved BAB! we had oodles of them, most of coarse now have been stored away. My grandson has two? but they are far from us and now the area isn't really safe to go to anymore(Covid)

Let's just say we will consider this my back to school shopping.

The Kate Spade tote I mentioned I was looking at earlier this summer was on a big sale in July. It's packed already for school even though I don't start officially for a couple of weeks.

This big print is a real change for me but I think we will go along happily together. LT, I think your tote is the better purchase because you also got a pretty tag, too, but my store didn't have anything like yours. And Kate Spade doesn't seem to be selling purse charms any more! I need some for my KS bags.

I am in a small flutter about what handbag to carry to work when school opens. We will have a lot of cleaning protocols, and if it's anything like June, I'll be handling a lot of sanitizers and disinfectants to clean the children's toys. My hands were in bad shape after four weeks of cleaning.

I like to carry a separate handbag but which one? I don't want to carry my Louis Vuitton as two of my Speedies have vachetta handles and I don't think think the raw leather and hand sanitizer get on very well. I didn't know if I wanted to carry my Rogues...all that lovely pebbled leather and smooth leather handles. So back to Kate Spade.

The Margaux is a bag I've had my eye on for awhile. It's very structured, and although the leather looks pebbled, it's quite tough. Not soft like my Rogues. But easily wipe-able. It was in the "Sale on Sale" so an additional 40% off sale prices. Not all colours of the Margaux are on sale but I love a good navy so I'm pleased. It's just a basic carryall style and should do nicely for the interim. I now have three Kate Spade bags (beautiful plum Lottie is the third) and that's a good sized collection now: satchel, carryall and tote. Wish I could say the same for my Coach collection!

Do you like my summer dahlias? This is their second year and are becoming more abundant. I just love this pink colour.

Oh, I forgot about my rings I bought at Kate Spade as well.

I need to pay more attention. These rings were on display together but I thought they were a collection of three. Imagine my surprise at the till to find the top ring with the pearls is a separate ring, and the bottom two are a set. Anyhow, I had to have all three because they looked so cute together.

Here's something cute from the Coach outlet. I showed you my clear signature large pouch, but I also bought this cute mini cosmetic bag.

It's a small cosmetic bag but so cute!

I was at the outlet because I had purchased a necklace from the FOS for my friend's 50th. When it came in the mail, it was way too short. So I went back to return it and found another lovely, long necklace with pave C's for her. I'm sorry I don't have a photo of the necklace (too much happening at once) but it was very lovely and much appreciated as she has been coveting my Coach long chains for a long time.

My mini. I can also squeeze in two hair ties and a glass cleaning cloth. I didn't show you my two half finished packages of cough drops but that fits in as well.

That's it for now. My last purchase is on it's way...a planner for work from Rifle & Co.

I hope everyone is doing well!:heart:

You've had fun! and i agree you need functional pieces right now. It's such different requirements for bags and accessories. Like what you all chose!
 
I don’t have enough room to hang them :sad:. I don’t have a walk in closet but it is a good size closet I think (I just measured it — it is over 11 feet across. Is that small or average?). In my closet, there is a shelf on top going all the way across, also 3 built in drawer dressers (all filled with my tees) and 3 smaller side shelves (housing my Sullivan’s and Duffles). I also have another 3 tier dresser in the bedroom. My coats/jackets are in the hallway closet. My husband’s closet is about 2/3 the size of mine and he has more than enough room for his stuff. I think I may have too much clothes :sad: or please tell me I don’t have enough closet space :lol:
Is that 11ft across on the outside or the inside?
 
Does it make a difference? (I am not great with math :lol:.). I measured from the outside across the sliding doors and the wall at the end (closet space behind the wall)
Back to your original question about closet space.... our closet is one where it runs along the shorter wall of our room, and has two sets of the double doors (the smaller closet size ones, not the larger ones like for a laundry area or something). So I would guess my half of that (as my husband uses one side and I use the other) is a little over 1/2 your size of closet. I have all of my shirts that I would wear out and about--for both warm weather and cold weather hanging in there, along with dress pants and a few dresses. (including the tshirts we just talked about). And it all fits fine. I do purge regularly--if there is something not being worn or I don't care for it as much any more I will donate it. But it holds quite a bit.

The stuff I keep in my dresser are things like workout wear, lounge tshirts and shorts/sweats, jeans and shorts.

So I think you should be able to put your tshirts in there or at least your most used ones. It is very possible you have some clothes you could purge that you don't wear anymore :-)
