I can still fit all of my crap into a City but it looks ridiculously overstuffed and loses its cuteness. Maybe I need to downsize for a few days and carry the Cities to see if I can make it work, and if not, then I will make myself sell them. Sigh. How come you don't carry your Days much?
Ahh, I see. Well, you do have some incredible beauties to choose from! Just curious as I know how much you love the hobo style. I just carried around one of my Days after not using then for a while, and fell in love with the style all over again. Not too big, not too small.
Try a small wallet for awhile. I'd love to go back to carrying my graffiti continental wallet but then that rules out a bunch of bags that carry way better with a smaller wallet. I HATE changing wallets, bags I'm fine with but wallets are a PITA.
I have this problem, too. I am trying to get myself to rotate my bags more often to see what still works for me and what has to go. And I still have like 4 bags on the way...
I'm the same way with wallets! Recently, I've decided to use a flat card wallet inside of a wristlet (7.5x5) and it has worked perfectly for me. I can throw in extra credit cards, and coins if needed or other crap like extra keys, lipstick, etc. It is one of 4 pouches I carry and transfer to each of my bags. I think I'm going to sell off a lot of the big wallets I used to carry because I like my new set up better.
My Duplex bag by The Row is sitting there waiting it's turn. I have a hunch once I move into that bag I'll stay there as it's laid out so well. But my Goyard came and that's what I'm using at the moment, Plus I'm eyeing a Longchamp...while the Coach bucket I just bought hasn't been touched yet. This is a sickness I tell youI have this problem, too. I am trying to get myself to rotate my bags more often to see what still works for me and what has to go.

. It's more about the acquisition than the use and that has to change .Even with my continental wallet I carry a small card holder (why do I have so many cards?) Everything I have is in smaller pouches as well which makes changing bags a snap. I actually don't have many wallets at all!
Wait, I had to back up...which four are you waiting for?I have this problem, too. I am trying to get myself to rotate my bags more often to see what still works for me and what has to go. And I still have like 4 bags on the way...
I think many people on this forum understand and embody this dilemma! I don't have a large collection but I just reached a point where I feel like I'm losing track of the bags I have, which is a sign for me to start selling and appreciate that bags that I use a lot.My Duplex bag by The Row is sitting there waiting it's turn.

My Days are some of my favorite bags, every time I carry them again, I remember how much I love them. I carried by Bleu Lavande last week and my Bubblegum this week. I don't think my Days are ever going anywhere and I am always looking for more!
Funny enough, I only have one style of wallet but in multiple colors. I fell in love with the Linea Pelle Dylan Zip Wallet years ago and haven't branched out since. You can find them for super cheap (like $25) nowadays so I snap them right up when ever I see one in new condition. I have always wanted to try a Bal wallet though. I can probably downsize in other ways, I also use a lot of pouches to make it easy to switch bags but I don't necessarily need everything I bring with me.
It's an addiction! I tend to use a new bag for a week or so as soon as I get it, but then it sits for a while.My Duplex bag by The Row is sitting there waiting it's turn.

-Chevre Velo in Pearly Rose - total impulse purchase, found it on Fashionphile and it looked so pretty. I will have to see what the condition is like when I get it though.
If the bag ends up being a keeper, then I will definitely be purging more of my current collection because it was a huge purchase for me.I saw that pearly rose, very pretty. I think you'll like it IRL, I have the M/U bag and it's a lovely colour.My Days are some of my favorite bags, every time I carry them again, I remember how much I love them.

-Customs from Rough & Tumble and Massaccesi. I tried Massaccesi awhile back and the bags didn't work for me, but he recently had a limited leather that I wanted so I decided to try again. Most of his bags are not my style though.
-And last, but definitely not least, I ordered by first Chanel. I have wanted a Chanel flap for a long time but they are small and I rarely carry small bags, but then last week I found out that a couple of years ago they released an XXL size that is meant for travel and I was all over that.
I have to keep a list of my bags, organized by brand, on my phone so that I don't lose track of what I have!
I may have to do that as well. Some people count sheep to go to sleep, I mentally inventory handbagsI have to keep a list of my bags, organized by brand, on my phone so that I don't lose track of what I have!
