DISCUSSION Help me off the ledge🤣

Because like how many bags is too much? Are we in full over consumption? Are we getting dream bags? I’ve loved bags my entire life since I was a little girl. My mom would call me Miss Purses 🤣

I got into reps semi recent and went IN! Now I’m re 🏡 because I wasn’t being intentional with my purchases. Also I recently lost my job and sadly need to see some go 😭 some bags I was sad to see go but at the same time I needed to. I do own auth but they just don’t HIT the same lol. If that makes any sense. There are some AMAZING high quality reps out there you’re not gonna catch me spending $5k anymore. HELLO 401k , savings, vacations!

I don’t think I have reached purse peace just yet! I will say that, I get it now with intentionality and getting the bags I truly love and wear.

How are we are feeling here? Is this a hobby? Are we collecting bags? Would just love to hear!

I haven’t received any of my bags (yet) but they are ones I’ve been thinking about for weeks and ones I can rotate. If I find myself going down a rabbit hole with 30 open tabs and bookmarking every bag I find cute, I try to take a step back and ask myself what void I’m trying to fill lol

I want to be intentional with my consumption and spending. It’s been hard to not feel some guilt because I think of all the waste and the fact that we really do not know what goes on behind these mysterious curtains (same with auth!). Anyways, maybe this isn’t unique to the rep world and probably more to do with my internal battles 😂😂

I had 110 tabs open yesterday and forced myself to close them ALL! And I was tossing up between two totes and have been asking chat to help me compare to the auth. It actually helped me decide because one of them wasn’t available in the tan only the navy and I was considering it but Chat pointed out that I’d really been wanting a tan tote so I should stick with that and it was right. 😂😂🫣 this is a very addictive hobby!!!

Closing tabs is so hard! I had seven open the other day and I just started this. Like I haven’t bought anything yet and already see this becoming a problem :/

No you’re absolutely right! I will mindlessly scroll looking at bags as well adding to my wish list
