I need to do that! I thought of something I needed today, looked on Amazon and realized it was Cyber Monday. Then I had to look at the deals and think of what else I could possibly need. I placed 3 orders for multiple items in about an hour. At least I'm justifying having prime.

I fell off the wagon and bought my HG (small BV Olimpia in Nero). Not even a little bit sorry.

There's an exception to every rule - and a HG bag is definitely an exception. Congratulations on getting your HG bag!
Pics? Please....
HG’s do not count, neither do teeny SLG’s
Thank you! I’ll post pics when it arrives. Just ordered it and absurdly happy about it.There's an exception to every rule - and a HG bag is definitely an exception. Congratulations on getting your HG bag!
Omg! I’m so happy for you. Please post photos. I put a Cabat and a convertible tote on reserve durning the holiday sales and I’m not a bit sorry either. Thank you for sharing, I’m going back to my Swedish Death Cleaning now. Nope not sorryI fell off the wagon and bought my HG (small BV Olimpia in Nero). Not even a little bit sorry.
Great! I may have bought a few teeny tiny SLGs!HG’s do not count, neither do teeny SLG’s
I didn't think this was a place you could fall off the wagon, but merely share your journey as you edit your Bag Closet? Editing, to me, means getting it right, to a place you are happy, whether that's less or more, although - 'minimalism' does mean less... LOL
@southernbelle43, I’d like to request that any bags gifted to us be free from accountability....just in case anyone here wants to give me one. Anyone? Anyone?HG’s do not count, neither do teeny SLG’s
Stellar idea lady! I second that vote. The list grows.@southernbelle43, I’d like to request that bags gifted to us be free from accountability....just in case anyone here wants to give me one. Anyone? Anyone?
I like your thinking and I totally agree. As I posted previously, it has taken me several years to determine my style, my colors, etc. So buying, selling and trading is what it is all about. However, India, do I detect that you have your eyes on some bags and are trying to clear the way for guilt free purchases?
IDK. I’ve been on this path before and made changes a number of times...both in what I’ve let go of and in what I’ve added, but it’s all part of my journey in finding my balance. I still hope, and plan, to achieve a balance that’s right for me. I may not get there in a straight line....but I won’t give up. I’ve made a lot of changes in my bag collection over the years... If it were easy for me, I’d already be there....but I’m not...

Who really wants to "get there."
After 10 years of my personal bag mania, I do want to ‘get there’. I’m closer than I’ve ever been before. Yes...I do enjoy the journey. But, at the same time, I would like to lessen my load and, somehow, figure out exactly what will work for me, and then sit back and just use those bags without thinking about adding or removing any. I may not achieve that, but it’s my goal. As I’ve gotten closer, it’s gotten both easier and harder to let go of bags. On one hand, letting go of bags that I no longer use is fairly easy, partly because doing so feels like a step forward. But letting go of some that are, in effect, duplicates of a theme, are more difficult to release, simply because I’m emotionally attached to those design styles, even though I have multiples. They’ve become pieces of art to me. I’m also fearful that I’ll let go of too many and then turn around and buy more. When I read the article by @Rami00, I was really motivated to begin this, but I seriously underestimated how difficult it would get through to the finish line.
