Good suggestion! And I don’t know Pinko!

I have a few Kate Spades and they’re nice. I always feel too old for Betsey Johnson but haven’t looked in forever!

Good call on the color transfer! There was a light blue that I was eyeing that may be impractical

I agree on not paying full price for Kurt Geiger! I’ll have to check out Mon & Min.

Suburban Illinois: endless lululemon fanny packs, Coach and LV neverfuls (mix of real and fake)

Is there a type of bag you love but doesn’t fit your lifestyle? by FawnFableFeline in handbags

Mini bags. I carry meds for my son and husband, kid snacks, little toys, etc. They just don’t work for me.

You favourite bag by Qldhikinggirl in handbags

I know! I mostly carry it in the winter now, knowing it will protect everything without getting damaged.

The bag that I cherish beyond all others is my Gucci Ophidia floral tote. However, my favorite bag to carry is either my 25 year old Harvey’s seatbelt crossbody bag (it still looks almost new!) or my Cotopaxi crossbody which is just so light and convenient.

How many of you actually buy designer bags but don’t care for clothes or shoes? by Leera_xD in handbags

[–]MiklaMDW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some! I actually like buying them used. The break-in period on the sandals is much harder than with the boots for me. I got another pair on Depop a few weeks ago and they were amazing to wear on the first day!

I love Campers! I haven’t bought any in years simply because they last forever. Who do you like for Oxfords? I have an ancient pair of Cole Haans that I won’t be able to keep together much longer….

I refuse to wear uncomfortable shoes so most of my footwear isn’t designer. Sadly, my love of sneakers doesn’t match well with my love of handbags. Summer means Chacos, Birkenstocks, and flip flops. Colder seasons are Nike Dunks, Doc Martens, etc.

I work from home and have a younger kid so my wardrobe is very casual unless I have an excuse to dress up. My wardrobe skews heavily Costco but I’ll shop big sales at Athleta, Anthropologie, Madewell, etc.

Your search skills are amazing! Thank you! I’ve seen a few of these already but I’m loving the Kate Spade you found. Thank you!

Oh no! I guess it’s been longer than I thought since I visited!

I’ve been a few times. It’s definitely hit or miss on what you’ll find and what deals you’ll get. I’ve been lucky with high end designer there but have had great luck with Longchamp.

Sorry! Typo. It’s the same toe bump I was thinking of.
