This is GREAT! Covid made me reassess a lot of things including my purchasing habit and I overthink every single purchase now and if I am not 100 percent happy it just does not come home with me. You can only carry one handbag at a time, use one wallet at a time. There are so many pretty things out there in the world but do I need to possess them all? No! As silly as this sounds - when I go to the mall now and go to LV, Dior, Chanel, etc. I think of it like going to an art gallery where I can admire all the workmanship and artistry but it all can stay at the mall and not come home with me. Financial and emotional and spiritual health is much more important. So I am soooo proud of you girlfriend! You do what is right for YOU. xoxoxoxoxoox Wendy
I did a bit of that too had to cancelI was the total opposite. Pre-COVID, I was content with my Montaigne mm, Sarah wallet, and my Pallas clutch — purchased in November 2018 for my 30th birthday/early Master’s gift to myself. Once COVID hit, I was temporarily laid off due to the shutdown. I deep cleaned the apartment and went window online shopping. I came across the Taigarama blue cold card holder and became obsessed with LV.
Didn’t help that COVID had us cancel our wedding, so I compensated by spending the money on LV instead of my wedding.
The most I spent on an LV canvas bag was about $2.8k. It was the OTG GM reverse monogram. I wouldn’t spend anything more than $3k for LV leather.
I like to say I’ve calmed down a bit. Now that everything is starting to open up, I am re-evaluating my collection. I’ve sold some bags I haven’t touched in months and focusing on cultivating my collection.
This is so true.I feel like the more I buy, the more my limit gradually increases!
I feel like the more I buy, the more my limit gradually increases! That being said, I can see spending more than $2,500. I just got a new PM and spent that, but I thought about it a lot before deciding to buy. I can’t see myself spending more than that, which is why I will probably never get a Chanel. I just can’t justify the price.
