Hey Julie, loved the video! Your switch from Coach to Dooney & Bourke was super insightful. It’s clear you put a lot of thought into your choices, and it really shows. That new Florentine Satchel sounds like a dream! Your videos always give me major bag envy and inspire me to rethink my own collection. Looking forward to seeing this bag make its debut in your upcoming looks! Keep the great content coming!
Hi Julie! I think it’s great that you were able to sell your bag to a close friend. And I love that you are shopping your closet for bags. The Dooney Florentine satchels are such beauties. The details are amazing! Gorgeous brown. TFS
She's beautiful! I really enjoy just looking at the craftsmanship of the bag. So glad your friend's Mom is getting the bag, I know she will enjoy it. TFS
Hi Julie, That is such a gorgeous color! I had a Charcoal one, but the color looked kind of muddy to me. I ended up returning it. I’m so glad they sent you such a beautiful one. TFS and enjoy! 🥰💐🌷
Beautiful Mother’s Day gift for your friends mom! Hope she loves it. I love Dooneys brown. It’s such a rich color. If we don’t speak, have a wonderful weekend and happy mothers days💐
Love the color! I am doing a similar thing too. When I see a bag or pretty much anything I want I put it on my wish list. I’ve learned that 75% of the time I end up deleting items from my list. It’s helped me not purchase items impulsively and consider other items I have that are similar.
Thanks for letting me know how to name the stages of the steps on our journey. "The Florentine Stage of Life" Is JUST PERFECT! And yes it would be great to have different leather choices. Blessings, Latina 🩷🩶💜
Stay strong! Whenever I actually go through my collection I’m overwhelmed with how much I love my bags and guilt for wanting to buy new ones. I’m going to do this challenge!
Lovely color.......I love the micro size. It is perfect and not too heavy. There is one in the color Lilac which is gorgeous, but in the regular size. I am just afraid it will be too heavy. I did order the makeup brush thing for the tassels.....enjoy your lovely new bag and tfs xoxo
Your new micro is perfect Lynette and I think you got the best size due to the weight. Yes, Dazzle 77 has one I think in pink too and it’s the sorento leather. Just too heavy probably!
I also got something from the Dooney Mom sale when I’m not supposed to buy but it was too good and you know… FLORENTINE 😭 I can’t believe you turned me into a Dooney Head. now I definitely stalk them way more than Coach
Haha! I feel like Dooney quality is superior to Coach lately too. Disappointed somewhat with Coach’s prices as of late for what you get. Rogues and other older 1941 are still worth it but I’m with you Dori!
Hi Julie, I have purchased one pre-loved Coach this year and we're already into June! It feels good. I didn't commit to a no buy or even a low buy. I have just been feeling bad about having so many bags that don't get worn in a whole year. I'm trying to be content and enjoy what i have. I have been watching more bag vids about bags i already have because they inspire me to shop my own closet. I have sold one LV and one Coach as well. Anyway, I have the micro in the reddish color (not red red) but I can't remember the exact color name. It's a great color and size. I had a small, which I think is now the regular, but it was just too heavy for me. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Hi Julie! I love the color! Also, other than the beauty of the Florentine leather, there's something about this Dooney satchel. I can totally see why they're so tempting! ♥♥♥these Dooney satchels so much, and I'm a total Coach girl.
Oh no! Cary is leaving you, sure youre friends mom will enjoy it. And your Dooney is so beautiful Julie, if I can only find one in Australia. Someone told me we have it here, but I have yet to find out exactly where it is 😅 you take care Julie, hope you're enjoying the weekend 😊❤
Hey Julie, TFS!!! ❤❤❤. After you announced this challenge, I decided to join in as well. However, I am switching out weekly. It’s only been a week and I , too, feel withdrawals from my Marc Jacobs tote bags lol. I finally got a Dooney & Bourke micro Florentine satchel in all black from Poshmark. Before getting that bag, no other bags could compete with my totes. I would stay in those totes for months at a time. At the end of the challenge, I was going to purchase a Coach bandit and another tote. However, I think I now prefer to get another micro satchel instead of the bandit. Wishing you the best on this journey and stay strong 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾. We got this!!!
Julie your satchel is Gorgeous! I'm a Dooney Satchel head lol I have more pebbled than Florentine but Florentine might be catching up. I think I'm at 11 total 😩🤦🏾♀️ Tfs ❤
I love brown tmoro because it’s just a rich dark brown and the leather just feels squishy lol. Idk how to explain it but chestnut & brown tmoro are my favorites from Dooney ❤ those two colors look so smooth, squishy & rich. Looks stunning!!!!
I am so tempted to try this challenge, because I bet it would help me thin the heard a little. But the amount of time it would take me since I leave the house so little 😂 I wouldn’t get to buy a bag for like 6 months lol - can’t have that!
Florentine satchel is a beautiful bag. I see why you bought it but yes, I understand how you feel about shopping your closet and controlling the urge to buy new bags. especially being on RU-vid and Instagram. We see everyone posting their beautiful bags and we get influence whether we like to or not. so I am really enjoying shopping my closet so thank you for posting about the challenge and, keeping yourself accountable through the videos and through your Instagram post.
Aww I love that your friend was willing to let her mom get the Cary instead! 😄 And I agree this is totally justified under the one in one out rule 🤎 the leather on these bags look amazing!
