Your slouchy bags sound nice. I like a bit of slouchy, but mainly in clothes.johnnyjumpsuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474137444822527332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-31620188437635476302015-11-24T00:49:17.515-08:002015-11-24T00:49:17.515-08:00Once I decided to downsize to a small bag so the k...Once I decided to downsize to a small bag so the kids wouldn't keep asking me to carry their stuff, I was very organised and enjoyed the lighter weight ! I had one black & one brown leather over the shoulder bags.<br /><br />Now I've gone in for big slouchy handbags & have black, brown & orange ones. In the summer I use large straw baskets.<br /><br />I get my clothes in white Stuff sales or when using a discount voucher & get things from the charity shop. <br /><br />I treat myself to something once a year from my favourite shop in Yarmouth when we are on the Isle of Wight !

The zip on my new one isn't the easiest thing to open (the only thing I'm a little disappointed by) so I think I might notice if anyone tried (and probably failed) to open it. johnnyjumpsuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474137444822527332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-22741478775772027032015-11-23T12:53:46.081-08:002015-11-23T12:53:46.081-08:00You sound very disciplined in your approach.

I am starting to get a bit tougher on this, but really need to work at it.<br /><br />Time to change purses here as well. I have used this one for at least 2 years and need to find something else very soon as it is beginning to look a bit worn.<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-51202063356453233172015-11-23T03:48:03.234-08:002015-11-23T03:48:03.234-08:00I think you make a very good point about it being ...I think you make a very good point about it being hard to get rid of things you paid "good money for", the way someone explained it to me was that yes, it had that value/cost at the time but it doesn't have that for me now, regardless of how much I paid or how much it is worth in the world. That made it easier to let things go.<br /><br />In terms of clothes shopping, I just don't look unless I need/really want something. If I think I just fancy a change, I stop thinking about it, think about something else and the urge goes away. thrift deluxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267215022924475298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-41447752173646098982015-11-22T10:30:53.176-08:002015-11-22T10:30:53.176-08:00I favour the re-use style rather than the brand ne...I favour the re-use style rather than the brand new style for my clothing (apart from nicks) and I prefer a bum bag when I go shopping as it's less obtrusive and I can't accidentally put it down and lose it! Back packs are a great idea to leave your hands free but I would be afraid of pick pockets (back pack pockets?) especially in busy town centres. Well done on your de cluttering.<br />xxMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442767679857541996noreply@blogger.com
