During the NAS shopping mayhem, I noticed my dream (completely ridiculous but beautiful to me) Ferragamo bag was 70% off. I purchased it and could not justify keeping it due to $$$, and returned it. Now I can’t stop thinking about it. But it was SO impractical and I’d probably only wear it to art galleries, which I haven’t even set foot in since before the pandemic. (Also, it arrived thrown into a box in an open plastic bag, so it was not a thrilling experience to receive.)

Of course I am regretting returning it, even though it was the right choice for my wallet. But now I’m experiencing that “the one that got away” remorse. But it’s just a weird handbag! And it was heavy and totally ridiculous! Think I have shopping fatigue and have lost my mind. Thank goodness NAS is only once a year!

Might need emotional support during this difficult time. Is there a handbag remorse thread? :crybaby:

You did well! It is stunning but there will be other amazing bags. You have to trust your judgment at the time when you actually had the bag in your possession. That was the ideal time to make the keep/not keep decision with clear eyes.

If you truly regret the return, then take that amount of money and set it aside as a “when I see a bag I like even more” fund. That bag will (for sure) come along, and then you will be able to get it without hesitation.

So, Sunday is the last day for the Anniversary Sale this year. Any last minute orders? I may or may not have ordered a few things that popped back in from my Wish List.

I am doing some rack returns Friday and figure I would take a look and see what they have in store that may not be shown in stock online. But I have already spent way more than I should have soooo.

The Ilse Jacobsen tulip sneakers arrived and they fit TTS and are very comfy on my wide-ish feet. Not sturdy enough for hiking in Cinque Terre (I have a pair of Merrills for that) but supportive enough for knocking around city streets. I ordered white and will probably order a second pair in navy since I don’t have any dark colored casual shoes.

Still thinking about that Ted Baker pleather skirt but I think I’ll wait until it’s reduced to under $100.

I have these out for delivery today. I’m hit and miss with Mother. I ordered a 32 because it recommended sizing up. I may have to return them.



I’m here to say I think you should order the Vince cardigan. It’s one of my favorite buys in the sale.

Yeah I've had some other pairs from Mother in the past and they are not very forgiving if you eat a large meal or want to sit down, LOL! I hope they work for you but I would love to know your opinion on the sizing after you've had a chance to try them on.

I got my normal jeans size in these jeans, I would say that mother runs inconsistent, while I took my typical size in these I have tried on others that I needed to size up. I think their amount of stretch varies which then makes the fit inconsistent

I received the Reiss leather jackets in both the size 2 and 4. They run much longer than the other moto jackets (Avec Les Filles Leather biker jacket and Sam Edelman piped leather jacket) and are much heavier than the other jackets. The size 2 fits the best in the shoulders and arms but when zipped up is tight in the chest and you can see creasing along the middle. The size 4 is best when zipped up but looks too big and doesn't hang right when unzipped. Neither had a bad smell.

The quality of the Reiss leather and the hardware is superior to the other two, but neither size fits right! Also, for the price point on the Reiss jacket, my husband said I have to wear it everyday :rolleyes:

I will be returning both and keeping the Avec Les Filles and maybe the Sam Edelman (not sure on that one because of the mini pocket under the front lapel).

I received these leopard print APL sneaks and OMG these things are super comfortable. It’s what I was expecting with the P448 raves of comfort. These are it for me. I ordered during the extra 25% off sale so it was a great price. First time trying APL and they are TTS for me.

Also ordered these Bliss throws I didn’t realized they were oversized but was pleasantly surprise, especially with the extra 25% off. Will have to watch out for these in future releases. Definitely worth the $25 I paid for each.

Hi

I think you mad a good decision. I love Ferragamo and have two of their handbags. They are so classic. This is not. You could easily tire of it. Wait and save and get one you really love. When you purchase go into the store and have the lovely experience of choosing it trying it on and walking out with it beautifully wrapped. They always come with lovely dust bags. I hope this helps...

I, too, ordered some more, by next weekend, so I'll have my final return pile ready :lol:. My last few items (she says slightly sincerely) are:

The hardest part of the sale ending is not so much the stuff but the community and cheer you all provide! I love returning each season, recognizing names and "meeting" new friends, and I always feel a bit of withdrawal when that ends :).

Stay cool and well, and happy shopping, everyone!!!!

As beautiful as the bag is of its heavy you will not get much use out of it. Don’t have return remorse for something that would end up sitting in your closet collecting dust.
