I've been busy whittling my collection down to four bags: 35 cm Birkin; 32cm HAC; 31cm Bolide and 30cm Birkin. My home is now a Kelly-free zone. I've gotten the nod to order a bag at the February podium, and I'm just going to sit tight and wait for that bag to arrive.
I've also taken a hard look at the stacks of orange boxes on my closet shelves filled with brand new Hermes silk scarves that I had to have yet never wore, and charms I thought I couldn't live without, and am parting with lots of them. It's for the same reason that I only want a handful of Hermes bags that I wear and adore -- to keep from being overwhelmed by so many choices.
After several years of snapping up Hermes bags and scarves, I have a new sense of calm and my closets now hold my carefully edited collections. So far, I've made some headway doing this with clothing. I haven't tacked shoes yet. Like CynthiaNYC, I've got way too many pairs of black shoes. As Scarlet said, "I'll think about that tomorrow."
How do you feel about your Hermes handbag and/or scarf collections? Are you ready to do some serious refining, or do you self edit along with the way by only buying things you'll hold onto forever? Are you overwhelmed by too many choices, or is it a "more the merrier" situation in your closets?
