Resolution "LOW-BUY" 2014! Who wants to play?

[ma146rina]

Thoughts please? I really don't know what to do!

this bag looks amazing!! i think a good quality summer bag it's a good buy. I always try to buy good shoes and bags, i think it really amps up any outfit

 

[walkingdead]

Help ladies I need a decision I can't decide whether to pull the trigger on this purchase it's not make up! It's fun and different and I can't wear lime clothes or make up due to my skin tone but I could get away with this... http://www.modalu.com/shop/pippa-bags-handbags/mini-pippa-grab-lime-lizard.html Thoughts please? I really don't know what to do!

I like it! Very cute. I love the color perfect for spring & summer. I like to invest in good bags too.

ok, so here is the first part of my "secret":

I have been in negotiations for months to sell my business.. and about 3 weeks ago, I was finally given word from a bank that the person interested would be elegible for a loan and it would go through. So, effective 6 months from now, at the latest Dec. 2014.. I will be FREE .. to do as I want, any ol time.. (Mick Jagger).,

nothing as glamourous as what you guys all suspected would happen, and nothing that I was not prepared for.. I am just very very happy!

I did not buy an island, adopt a puppy, or get married... much less conceive a kid.. lol.

you ladies have fertile imaginations!

I did receive a surprise from my mother and it is that she is "seeing" a little old gentleman from the Senior Center.. lol. She is in love or lust

more news to follow.

I believe I said twins.

Selling your business and retiring while young enough to enjoy the time away is glamourous. Few are able to do it. Good for you - I hope it brings you much happiness.

As for your mom getting her groove on, good for her!!!

I like the shape of it, and it does look roomy. That said, I agree with Audrey: wait it out for a little bit and see if something you like better comes along. (It's also way more than I would spend on a handbag, personally, especially one that isn't in a neutral colour.)

 

[Audrey C]

I'm actually the opposite with neutral purses - they bore me and I don't use them. My last four purses have been lime green (bought from a street vendor in Florence for forty euros), orange (same guy), red (Danier leather sale) and now cobalt blue (also Danier sale). I have a brand new black purse that I've never worn. I like a pop of colour.

I'm a big value buyer, so while I like good quality things I don't care at all about labels (no Coach for me thanks). My purse is my main accessory and I always have a nice one. But I won't spend over $100 Canadian for one.

Congrats @HerGreyness!

lol @ twins.. I have twin headaches sometimes with my work.. but yes, retiring from this work is great for me at this time. I will probably wind up doing major consulting though, and less analysis.. so it's great! I will also have more time with Bert

and mom, yes, she is a hoot.. I am so happy for her!

ty ladies!! you are all so sweet!

 

[Prettypackages]

Congrats Her Greyness!

Thoughts please? I really don't know what to do!

I am obsessed with Ppipas. I am getting the larger blue one in April and if it's still around later this spring the red with black.

I say go for it.
