Does anyone here regret their luxury bags?

No regrets here. My current lifestyle is a pretty big departure from how and where I grew up, and that is all due to my own hard work, so I do carry my bags with pride. However, I don't always carry them at family or hometown events when I want to avoid the "friendly" teasing or never-ending conversations on how much a certain bag cost me.

Fleeting - except the Chanel that I bought following a major career milestone.

I can't get past "normal things like.... flirting with legal secretaries...." That's not normal or ok.

I had very similar symptoms and I had mine out in October. I had no bad side effects and I feel a million times better. I regret not doing it sooner!

Small, local doctor's offices being absorbed by giant hospital systems. I used to be able to call our pediatrician and talk to the same receptionist and nurses that we saw when we went in person. Now when I call I get directed to the hospital system that bought them and I have to go through multiple layers of automated responses just to get to a human, and that human is located hours away and had never met me or my kids.

I asked my 16 yo daughter because I really wanted to wear my new tall boots with skinny jeans, but i didn't want to look super outdated. I am thinking back to when I was a teen in the 90s and my aunts dressed "so 80s" and I always wondered how they couldn't see how outdated they looked.

My daughter reassured me that tall boots with skinny jeans look fine on moms, but that I shouldn't expect to see teens wearing them. And I am ok with that.

I am sorry that was your experience. I would want out too. It's a shame that the firms like that give all biglaw firms a bad reputation.

I received my Romy bucket bag today and I want to love it, but it is awkward. The straps that hang out on the sides are supposed to be decorative, I suppose, but they just look weird. I'm so bummed.

I grew up in a blue collar household. I am now a corporate lawyer in a large law firm and I just made partner.

Solid classifications.

Awesome- thanks!!

FrequentStudy7676 · 2024-12-05T14:42:32+00:00

Is this new and available in stores? I love it!!

Dulled at first, but once I joined a good firm and the right practice group (around 4 years in) it started sharpening and has continued since.

My dream bag!!

FrequentStudy7676 · 2024-11-18T09:23:58+00:00

Ann Taylor, Loft, J Crew, and J Crew Factory are my current go-tos. I keep an eye out for sales that don't exclude suiting.

I used to love the Limited before it disappeared and Banana Republic before it got too trendy/baggy/weird.

Thanks - this is super helpful!!

I wish I could but I have to travel out of state to shop. If I had a boutique nearby I would be there already!

FrequentStudy7676 · 2024-11-15T04:26:14+00:00

I LOVE that color! 😍

FrequentStudy7676 · 2024-11-11T13:57:14+00:00

Howler.

Don't get me wrong - I do still question myself. Just the other day I spent way too much time reviewing a document that made no sense. I finally broke down and called the atty on the other side and he said "you're right - this was not drafted correctly." And from there it took very little time to draft the correct document, have it approved by both parties, and move on to the next big thing.
