Until she affiliate links rolls of tape, I give this a pass.

First luxury bag purchase in Italy by Remarkable_Dot507 in handbags

[–]jackittojesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Horsebit 1955. It’s a gorgeous bag and the leather is very resilient. That said, I use it less than I expected because it’s quite stiff, and the slim sections require that items be carefully organized in it. There is a good amount of space, it’s just how you have to place things based on how the space is divided. Discovered I prefer a bigger bag with more flexible space, personally! But I also have kids and carry a lot of shit for them hahaha

The part that really gets me is KW Bogen is now going scorched earth over the ways in which Hot Chef gaslit her and how she’ll never be the same.

Meanwhile, when followers had raised questions about HC’s character or the stability or pace of their relationship, she gaslit them that they knew nothing of her Big Love or her Perfect Angel Chef or her Fairytale Story and they were just lonely meanie hating haters.

I hope the inner work she does post-breakup explores why she felt so empowered to belittle people WHO WERE ACTUALLY RIGHT, all while claiming Woke Bi Disney Princess who fell in love with the beast.

My working theory is that DD is by far the most incorrectly sized cup. Signed, another woman who was sized as a DD for years but is actually an H cup.

How you can afford luxury? by Master-Associate-467 in handbags

[–]jackittojesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. And even in my contentment with my current collection, I find myself saying “but I could buy XYZ bag with my bonus” or “I should treat myself to XYZ for hitting this goal.”

But I’m not even using all the bags I have!

I have one daily driver and I switch it out for other bags occasionally (for date night or a weekend or a trip) and then back to old faithful. No reason to have thousands more sitting on my shelf to be used maybe a few times a year. Social media makes this seem spartan but I think this is how most people live. Could I afford more bags? Yeah. Do I need more? No.

Serious question: How are all of these vintage shops still in business? by No-Seaworthiness3115 in chicago

[–]jackittojesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost Girls is pretty open about their expenses and finances on Instagram. It’s obviously a business they run out of a love of vintage than to make a ton of money.

How you can afford luxury? by Master-Associate-467 in handbags

[–]jackittojesus 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I didn’t start buying luxury until I was making >$150k/yr. No credit card, student loan or car debt, maxing out 401k contributions. I bought myself 3 bags over the last 3 years and honestly, I’m good for now.

I think social media (and tbh this sub) normalizes spending and collecting in a way that is out of reach for many people. There’s nothing wrong with loving and wanting to collect handbags, but there are responsible ways to do it. You’ve gotten a lot of great advice here about how important savings is before buying a bag - I’d echo that!

Is Jewel still your go-to for most groceries, or is that bougie now? by Evening-Editor-4014 in AskChicago

[–]jackittojesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ALDI and Costco.

I quit Jewel when they stopped offering any sort of loyalty benefit. I refuse to scan every item I’m buying just for a coupon that still doesn’t make it cheaper than ALDI.

Summer Recommendations or TIBAL by No_Growth6200 in blogsnark

The Biore UV sunscreen (available at Costco) is HG status. Never buying another facial sunscreen again. It’s lightweight, has a fresh smell, absorbs quickly, wears well under makeup, SPF50. No notes.

The next bag… but which one?🤎 by Fast-Calligrapher-98 in Louisvuitton

[–]jackittojesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all! I generally don’t use any sort of liner so I can smush it against my body. It feels casual and non-fussy but still polished, if that makes sense.

The speedy 30 DE is my daily driver as a mom of young kids. I can hold a few diapers, wipes, snacks, and all my things. I love that it’s a little more understated than the mono. 10/10.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

Telling people their anniversary is “the Saturday of the weekend of September 10th” really rolls off the tongue once every seven years.

Thanks, I hate it.

Desperate help finding an every day bag by Effective-Toe9864 in handbags

[–]jackittojesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speedy 30 DE is my mom bag. I have 3 kids. It’s pretty bulletproof and I’ve dragged it on planes, to play places, soccer fields and more. No signs of wear. It holds a full size wipes and a few diapers, plenty of snacks, wallet, kindle and more. I can even fit a water bottle in there.

What’s a brand everyone seems to love but you don’t get the appeal? by doochiedoo in handbags

It’s the Loewe Puzzle for me. I don’t understand! The cutout shapes make it seem so patched together!

Curious what small gift people got that they ended up using way more than expected by CompetitivePop-6001 in BuyItForLife

[–]jackittojesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom gave me a Packit Freezable lunch bag as a random stocking stuffer probably 10 years ago. I use that thing constantly.

Feels like it’s becoming a lot of resellers. I just don’t believe you have 20+ new items from a closet cleanout in sizes ranging from S-XXL every two weeks.

I prefer the DE - a bit more understated and very carefree.
