Golly. This is a strange feeling, but despite knowing of lots of bags I really like the looks of and would love to own, there is nothing LV right now that I'm utterly craving and actively searching for!
It's really odd! I don't think I've done the too-much-too-soon thing and burnt out.. I simply think I've run out of genuine needs, and now that I've been collecting LV for two years the OMG-LV-Lust has died away and I'm not even craving things I don't need!
I think what's happened is that I'm not going away as much as before, and given I don't wear my super-nice bags around town here (I live in a small outback town) I've already a long list of bags waiting their first big trip away and first show-off. I've just received a Palermo PM, a gorgeous bag I adore and am dying to show off, and perhaps because she's perfect for me and really is a keeper I'm not having any desires to get other bags.
Anyway, does anyone else feel like this, or are you all still in the throes of that delicious, decadent BUY, BUY, BUY feeling? I used to be there, but realised today when something I really love (but don't strictly need) came up for sale somewhere, and I just passed it by, whereas a few months ago I'd have already been in negotiations with the seller and have plundered my bank account to pay for it!
So it's kind of a liberating, yet still sad, feeling. It's great to not always have that guilt of always paying something off on a payment plan when I could really use the money towards our house renovations, but at the same time I miss the thrill of the chase and the getting of new things! Now I'm more settled in my LV - and other things - collection, I find I'm looking at other brands too. In fact, I just purchased a Hermes Ulysse PM notebook to use as a journal, and a little Hermes raspberry keychain to attach to it. A nice journal is basically the only thing I have left to get, not needing nor wanting another wallet, Agenda, etc. Even though I adore LV agendae I've turned down many recently, baffling myself in the process. The Ulysse was more journal to me though, as I did consider using an LV agenda for that (any excuse!) but the loose leaf paper didn't feel right to use as a private journal. Am trying desperately though not to get sucked over to the Orange Side.. I just can't afford to, in every sense!
I guess I'm just at that hallowed spot right now that everyone strives to get to, where you have all your HG's and want for nothing.. yet now that I'm here, I feel kinda.. lost!
How bizarre! I shouldn't be.. .., I should be ! Maybe I just need to get used to it....
