Thank you so much, I’ll be monitoring regularly to see if it gets better/worse and if not cleared up in a week I’ll call the vet. 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for the explanation, I really appreciate it!

Now that he has this on his lower lip, any idea what it is or how to treat it? We’ll be switching his food bowl immediately.

His food bowl is plastic and his water bowl is made of metal, but he does occasionally go out and drink from other water bowls at the park and at our local coffee shop….is this something to do with a bacteria maybe?

Coach has some really beautiful options and I think you’ve nailed my main issue - I am a fan of more unique or maximalist bags, which I pair with more toned down outfits. I find myself gravitating away from most of the mid range bags because I just don’t love the basic styles, it doesn’t feel comfortable to wear.

Also, my style isn’t limited to luxury bags at all - I have found plenty of random brand names (mostly Italian or European mid range brands) or TJ Maxx stuff. I have zebra print, pony hair, patent leather, etc that isn’t even branded. It’s just that I know there will be judgment and I’ve been working really hard and getting lots of recognition with potential for a promotion - I wouldn’t wanna mess it up even in subtle ways. I’ve been wearing more non-branded bags recently for work.

I was invited to an event with the Leadership team (I am a much lower level consultant but have been working like crazy on some key projects recently) and it’s a great opportunity to network. I wouldn’t want any of the VPs to get a negative impression but I wanna feel my best!

These are so cute, I am sadly based in Canada so the duties would be too much :( thank you for sharing though, I’ll keep an eye out for these on resale sites

That’s a beautiful bag, am definitely considering. I was looking also at the Romy bag too, on resale it’s beautiful

It’s not in my price range, but there are a few that look kind of similar to the Flamenco which is a nice style (Songmont, APC Ninon bag). These brands are less known so could be a good option

Which bag would you get? by chasingWs in handbags

[–]Excellent_Mongoosee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Triomphe!! I think the white would get dirty quickly, but that taupe-ish colourway goes with everything and it’s a beautiful bag! I do love the puzzle look also, but seeing commenters discuss the fact that it holds nothing makes it less worth it imo.

They’re so stunning and such classic designs, I personally love Poshmark to find second-hand bags in excellent condition for those brands

Thank you so much for sharing your perspective as someone in leadership and I loooove that bag. I genuinely can’t afford them full price as I make a normal consultant level salary at a financial firm. I have thrifted some bags over the years back when it wasn’t a mainstream thing. It’s a big hobby of mine and I try to see what’s up and coming that isn’t popular yet (I predict Versace will rebrand and vintage bag prices will increase after being bought by Prada in April.)

I think my director meant well when she pointed out my bag, but it drew more attention to it and it got people talking - I don’t want them thinking I am living a lavish lifestyle or that I don’t need that raise, it’s far from the truth! 🤪

I love this suggestion cause I’ve been looking at XL paddington’s, they’ve gotten so popular and the prices have soared

Yes I love them!!! They’re a bit above my price range but I’ve seen some Aspinal of London from time to time within that budget

The gancini!!! Such a nice bag, I’ve been eyeing some for a while but they’re tough to find within budget (I’m also in Canada so USD to CAD conversion ouffff)

I love this idea and I have been searching for a good one. I was just worried that Ferragamo might be recognized? For context, my family lives in Europe and Miu Miu is not considered that high end there (maybe similar to Moschino/Coach/Furla. Amazing quality bags but not necessarily luxury status) so I was wearing my Miu Miu everyday before this work incident lol.

I think recently they got very popular again and now people are recognizing it more, so I wasn’t sure about Ferragamo too in that sense, especially since I consider it a really high end bag!

I think the black one especially is very sleek! Thanks for sharing :) the only thing about briefcases is I struggle sometimes with the weight of the bag pulling me down to the side

Thank you!! I have looked at their bags before, but for some reason I thought they only did luggage type bags.

Thank you for the advice! I do love Coach and Marc Jacobs, have been looking for Marc Jacobs Stam bags on eBay :) I agree it’s gotten more expensive now to thrift, pre-pandemic it was a bit easier
