I already have the dress, jacket and sunglasses.

All I need are the bag and boots.

Sorry, I can feel you cringing.

I'm sorry you had a rough day.

Slip dresses and leather jackets are one of my favorite combos. The only thing that gives me pause is the boots being patent and that potentially clashing with the jacket.

Great minds think alike? I have a solution. On the MJ website there is a smooth leather version. Not released yet. I asked to be notified when they’re available.

Less distracting than the patent but still shiny. I'm just not a big fan of shiny leather in general, except occasionally in small doses.

Now you have me looking at boots.

Like these boots!

Not usually a fan of patent either; not sure why I wanted the little patent purse and the patent boots.

I like shiny leather. Usually don’t like the way it shows scratches though. Probably wouldn’t bother me as much on the Doc Martens.

The good thing is that by the time I’m notified of the availability of the boots, I might not want them anymore. If I still want them I can agonize over it then ... delayed agonizing.

Two years ago we were supposed to have a particularly wet winter here (wetter than usual) and I got it into my head that I needed a patent leather handbag. Bought a pre-loved MbMJ (can't remember the style name, but it looked like the one in the picture below) in orange patent leather for not very much $$$.

And it DID rain. A lot. But I never carried the bag. I don't know if that's because it was patent, or because it was orange. Or, come to think of it, because it was a hobo bag. (Although I like this one in silver.) But it sat in my closet for two years, and then I donated it.

Is that bag a Hillier?

Yep it's a Hillier. I have a Paradise Rio that's a similar color; it's pretty in person and sort of iridescent.

I think you bought the orange one from me...in which case, if I'm remembering correctly, sorry :/

Was it? (Elaine looks through her notes.) I don't think so. I bought a navy metallic single from you. The orange Hillier was, I believe, from another nice person on tPF. And the problem wasn't the bag, it was me. Not the bag's fault that it was orange. I also at one time owned a MJ Baroque Large Single in Mandarin that I never wore and ended up selling.

I like oranges. I just don't like orange.

Oh right, I think it was Michelle?

You sold the mandarin single?! I loved that bag.

Why is it so hard for my mailman to scan packages he picks up...it's really my only option right now unless I want to walk two miles each way to the post office (I don't) but I should have sucked it up to avoid the anxiety. Now I'm just hitting refresh on USPS every half hour.

Love these! I lived in my Doc Martens in college (back in the olden days when the world heard Smells Like Teen Spirit for the very first time). I may have to get some of these myself...I miss my Doc Martens!

Hi eehlers! Hope that things have been going well for you and that you’re feeling okay.

Yup, once I get the notification that they’re available, I’m planning on ordering a pair. [emoji3]
