Good Afternoon PF friends,
I hope you all find yourselves happy on this Tuesday afternoon.
Please allow me to share my Dior-iffic story with you all. I went into Dior yesterday during lunch and saw the most amazing beautiful Dior Book Tote in white with butterflies as well as a beautiful book tote in red with butterflies. I was so obsessed with that white bag but knowing i dont baby bags, i left it alone. The red one still tugging at my heart, I decided to leave it alone as well because Book Totes "are all over the place" and it's a trend, I decided to purchase a mini book tote with strap for casual days as it fits both my phones and card case and keys.
I went back to my hotel room ( I'm traveling for work ) and kept looking at this adorable bag and loving it has the strap, however I didn't find myself loving it.
Today during lunch, I took my Dior purchase to another Dior store I was nearby and the SA was so sweet and helpful. He understood that the mini can be impractical for daily use and showed me another option.... the small book tote with strap. I. FELL. INLOVE. Perfect bag with strap.
The ending to this story......I not only got the small book tote, I also left with .....View attachment 5944121
Good to have a variety lol I can see why you couldn't stop thinking about the red butterfly bag.... it's stunning. Enjoy them both!

Gorgeous bags! I’m on the verge of getting the one on the left. And thank you for the wordplay, “Dior-iffic”. I really appreciated that. 😂

Thank you. Get it ! Before it sells out. It's a perfect bag size and it has the leather sides and bottom which made more sense to me. It didn't stop me from getting the red one. She's even more gorgeous in person. I still am obsessed with the all white with butterflies but I can justify that price to have something to look at and as we all know that white turns yellow and ugly real quick.

The white is gorgeous but not worth it for those reasons for sure!

Yes going to purchase right now!
 
So I accidentally made this impulse purchase today......not usually drawn to red bags (only own 1 red bag) but had admired the book tote with red butterflies featured in a couple other recent posts here so I figured I'd take a quick peek when I was at Saks today just for fun. Could not resist this beauty. Was torn between the small dJoy and the small ABC lady dior but the latter won in the end. Stock photo for now bc I haven't even unpacked her yet but was excited to share. Will update with real photos soon!

Oh my gosh… what have I been missing!? The beauty, the craftsmanship, the packaging… When I saw this new collection I fell, hard. 😅☺️ I’m a total celestial nut and just had to! ✨☀️ I just can’t stop looking at them. Needless to say, I won’t be shopping for a while… a VERY long while!

Was finally able to unpack my new small Lady Dior. I bought it in a rush as the store was closing so I didn't really pay that much attention to it. Truth be told, I went to Saks with the intent of purchasing a Chanel 22 that was on hold for me and I wanted to just pop in 2 doors down to quickly say hi to my SA at Dior. The Chanel is a beautiful bag but it didn't spark the excitement in me the way this one did - it was that immediately feeling of "I don't think I can live without this bag". I am not typically drawn to reds and I only own 1 red bag (not a traditional red either) and a handful of red wardrobe items but had been considering a more traditional red bag eventually. So much happier with this! I even rediscovered some jewelry I have with butterflies and such which might be fun (I obviously wouldn't wear them all at once lol)

I don't want to bombard you but I have noone IRL who appreciates this stuff and I cannot remember the last time I was this excited about a bag. Even though purchase was soooo unexpected, I am over the moon. Now that I have been able to admire in person, I've been playing around in my closet and found so many more options than I ever would have anticipated might coordinate with this bag. The best part is that I have been on a lavender kick lately (obsessed in particular with the current Givenchy shade of lavender - borrowed strap from Antigona for photo) and I hadn't even noticed there are a few small areas of the bag with that color. I also recently purchase a pair of burgundy patent YSL tributes I was planning to send to my daughter for Valentine's Day but when they arrived at my house a few days ago, I considered keeping them for myself LOL I am definitely not a burgundy/maroon person but I think these might pair with some of the darker tones in the Dior bag. The shoes look almost black unless in bright sunlight so it's hard to capture some of these nuances in photos but I did my best to share some of my fun/excitement with you fellow Dior lovers. Here are photos with some of the different and unexpected shoes and wardrobe items I am excited to try with this bag (never would have imagined with light pink). I have surprised even myself by feeling like this bag is probably in my top 3 favorite bags!

Preloved Motion backpack.
LV Christophers were what I had before, but they became too bulky feeling, so swapped to Montblanc, but wanted to change things up a bit, so I grabbed this Motion backpack. I did think about getting new saddle backpack, where pretty much the only difference is that the front pocket looks like saddle, but I am personally not a huge fan of that saddle shape, so Motion backpack it is! It fits A LOT of stuff.

Thank you for sharing your excitement and your beautiful LD! I love that it coordinates well with what you already have!
