The frame was damaged to the point that it is considered totaled. I am waiting on the insurance to see what they will give me for it, but I have a feeling I am going to have to fight with them on the amount. Their first estimate was way under the value of the car, let alone what I could buy something similar for locally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have/page/2#post-218777 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 02:18:47 +0000 annagybe 218777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>14. Three from Coach (turquoise, tan, and pink/red), three from LAMB (navy, zebra, white), a Kate Spade (oil slick patent), a Lanvin (patent dove grey), a Chloe (silver), a D&amp;G (black), Alexander Wang (black), Fossil (off white), Tous (tan), 2 clutches forgot the brand (pink, black &amp; gold).<br /> I thought I had more. Some I haven't used in years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have/page/2#post-218771 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 01:56:14 +0000 Mae 218771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April: SHUT UP! (I mean that in the most Stacy way possible.) SQUEEEEEEEEEE!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have/page/2#post-218770 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 01:54:24 +0000 Lisa 218770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh, there was a time I had LOTS (25-30) of handbags, I've pared them down to the following at the moment:<br /> 4 crossbody bags: black, white, brown printed, white/gray printed<br /> 3 shoulder bags: white, yellow and black<br /> 1 work tote: large enough for a laptop in black<br /> 1 small dressy bag-silver mesh<br /> 2 clutches/wristlet style-patent purple and brown printed<br /> 2 satchels-black and one black/brown trimmed</p> <p>The silver mesh bag is used the least as it is an occasion bag.</p> <p>The crossbody bags are used year round, usually weekends, except the white which is reserved for spring/summer.</p> <p>The shoulder totes are summer bags except the black one, since it's on the smaller size it's a "going out" bag for me.</p> <p>The clutches/wristlets are often inside a larger bag in the winter for grab n go ease. In the summer I use a white wallet instead of the wristlets since my summer bags are smaller in size overall.</p> <p>The satchels are used fall and winter, since they are larger and fit over coats better.</p> <p>At one point I would match my bag EVERYDAY to my outfit, I tend not to carry much so that was easy for me to do. Now I'm a little lazy and will go on a week or two week basis before mixing it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have/page/2#post-218767 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 01:41:54 +0000 April 218767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>7 handbags (black, white, bone, red, yellow, muted fuchsia, gunmetal metallic). And it's possible that one more (cognac) is on its way to me as we speak. </p> <p>It's also possible that one more bag (black patent) is in the pile of items soon to be on its way to Mae... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have/page/2#post-218689 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 23:55:53 +0000 Angie 218689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job, Louise!</p> <p>Oh, elly!

I tend to pull one out and wear it hard, then tire of it and pull out another one. I need to do some culling in that area, too... Hmmm. Another challenge next month, perhaps...?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have/page/2#post-218588 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:24:57 +0000 taylor 218588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am coming in behind Angie the bag ~queen~ at 36 total. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have/page/2#post-218579 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:13:17 +0000 Elly 218579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the concern ladies! Isabel-- you cracked me up! That is hilarious, perhaps I am-- I had stopped at sonic for a drink on the way out of town and was bringing one to a friend that was still at work. Hers was a strawberry limeade with extra strawberries and the impact literally made the Route 44 cup explode. My entire right side was covered in red liquid and chunks of strawberry. That was also the side that I sliced my hand and arm open on (on what I still can't figure out). It was quite comedic and I got quite a few double takes! Not serious enough cuts to need stitches, just enough for me to get blood on everything before I realized that I wasn't just red and sticky because of the drink! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have/page/2#post-218565 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 21:58:37 +0000 Isabel 218565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elly, I am so sorry to hear about your accident and that there was blood involved ! Thank goodness you are ok.</p> <p>BECAUSE you are ok, I have to make a joke : you said that your bag had blood and red drink on it. Are you some sort of vampire ?</p> <p>I have to go count my bags now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have/page/2#post-218542 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 21:32:06 +0000 Kari 218542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elly, I hope you are okay. How frightening. Best wishes that you heal quickly.</p> <p>I think I have 7, mostly leather or pleather bags in solid colors: a slouchy mauve bag, large brown and white giraffe print bag (the handles are cracking, so I'm using this sparingly), a dark brown patent tote that is my "formal" bag, a cream ruffled bag with a wooden handle, yellow crossbody bag, coral bag that was a hand-me-down from my aunt, and recently acquired purple crossbody bag. Ever so slowly, I'm starting to use more than 1 handbag per season, though I only rotate once a month or so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have/page/2#post-218536 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 21:25:09 +0000 Kristine 218536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one cross body bag for work or trips.

I also have two vintage 80's Coach bags (medium brown and dark green) that I still pull out for some outfits.</p> <p>All my bags are good to high quality. I quit buying inexpensive bags after I had a bad experience with one in an airport while going to a conference. The zipper broke and I had to hold the stupid thing together with elastic and string until I got to my destination. Very classy! And I have to to admit, I am just not a fan of the shiny, plastic look of most imitation leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have#post-218465 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 18:17:08 +0000 crasdy 218465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 6 hand bags that I use regularly, in purple, green, turquoise, red, tan and silver. I also have a green gear-ish cross body that I use frequently, and a Fossil eggplant-colored cross body.</p> <p>I have one evening bag as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have#post-218460 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 18:08:38 +0000 bella 218460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 have two small crossbody bags that I use most often on the weekends: one blue and one apple green.<br /> 4 medium - large size totes that I alternate throughout the week to coordinate with my outfits: red, blue, beige and a logo print one in brown-burgundy.<br /> I also have one work tote that accommodates my laptop. It is quite bulky and not very feminine-looking, so I've been on the hunt for another one whole summer. I am thinking of putting that hunt on the back burner for now though. I decided to walk to and from work each day as exercise. It is only a 20 minute walk each way with no elevation, so it should be pretty doable, but I need a backpack to fit all my stuff and not give myself back pain in the process. I have a basic, gear backpack that I will be using for now, but if I can make an habit out of it, I want to eventually get a nicer-looking one perhaps in pleather or even leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have#post-218456 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 18:01:33 +0000 MsMary 218456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always been a one bag girl, but I am working on switching it up. At the moment I have the following in rotation:</p> <p>Green Coach tote<br /> Purple Dooney croc satchel<br /> Red cheapie hobo-ish bag with pockets on the outside<br /> Yellow Dooney logo canvas tote</p> <p>I own the following but they are not really in rotation:</p> <p>Aunt Catherine's cognac leather Gucci bag<br /> Two vintage black Dooney all-weather leather bags, one simple hobo with tan trim, one more structured with cognac trim. These are both unused so far (bought them from eBay last year and then decided to use the purple one for everyday), but I just dragged them out and I think they will be fab for this fall and winter.</p> <p>And I just traded in my DSW rewards certificate for a small turquoise cross-body bag.</p> <p>Oh, and one black evening clutch and a purple quilted evening shoulder bag with a gold chain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have#post-218454 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:56:46 +0000 Anonymous 218454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have just a few, ten tops. I edited my handbag collection a while back and only kept the ones that are of better quality and get used the most.</p> <p>That left me with my 3 MBMJ's: in black cognac and taupe. They are all different styles. I'm a big Marc Jacobs fan :)</p> <p>I tend to wear the black thru the winter, the taupe is my summer bag and the cognac is mostly spring and fall.</p> <p>I don't change bags at all.I don't really like to match my bag to anything either,so this small collection works for me.<br /> I have some smaller, more colorful wristlets, crossover bags and evening bags that get used here and there.</p> <p>Hehe, let me post a pic I took for another forum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have#post-218452 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:55:54 +0000 marianna 218452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have about 5 that are in my daily rotation. I switch them out with the mood strikes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have#post-218443 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:47:56 +0000 kellygirl 218443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My handbag situation is pretty dismal. I have my new Fossil crossbody, and old, burnt orange Franco Sarto (my go to bag), and a black/brown patent structured bag that doesn't really go with much for some reason. It might just be too business-y for my casual style. I also have a grey and a black evening clutch but I think DD#2 has them stashed with her dress up stuff. Haven't seen those in awhile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have#post-218441 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:45:19 +0000 MNsara 218441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Elly - It's good that you are 'okay' and on the mend! I hope things get resolved (car/insurance) as quickly and smoothly as possible! Definitely time to get a new bag -- insurance might cover that too. . .</p> <p>For my purses, it's not as bad as I thought: 26 bags (including 6 clutches) with two more designated to depart soon.</p> <p>Although I could easily get by with 3 spring/summer and 3 fall/winter, and a couple special occasion clutches, considering how I dislike switching bags. . . I could never figure out which bags I would be most content with though. . .</p> <p>A few of the bags are such distinct color: citron, teal, fuchsia that I need to switch out of them usually within a few days.</p> <p>A few more are a color that functions more neutrally: cobalt, yellow, medium blue, chestnut. So I can usually carry them for weeks at a time.</p> <p>I don't own a single black bag!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have#post-218438 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:41:38 +0000 Elly 218438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't mean to thread jack--- yes Angie-- on tuesday the driver in front of me caused a three car pile up. I was rear-ended by two drivers going about 50 miles an hour. Needless to say, the frame on my car was twisted. I wasn't seriously injured (nor was anyone else, as far as I am aware) but because of my heart condition the soft tissue stuff is healing slowly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have#post-218436 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:36:23 +0000 Anonymous 218436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an area of my wardrobe that definitely needs updating. Currently I have 9 bags, but all are cheapies from Target, Kohls, and second hand stores exceot for one from Macy's and a small vintage snakeskin clutch. By the end of SYC all can go except the clutch, so I've been looking on-line at choices and want fewer but good bags. I may start a separate thread about this. It's overwhelming me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have#post-218427 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:16:24 +0000 Kate 218427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 3. My everyday bag is brown leather across body bag with a tan silhouette of a tree on it. It's just big enough to hold my laptop, a cardigan, and all of the basics! </p> <p>I also have a summery woven purse (with a leather strap) from fossil, and a small gray leather purse with a thin strap that can be tucked inside so it doubles as a clutch.</p> <p>I have WAY more gear bags though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-many-bags-do-you-have#post-218416 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:03:19 +0000 Angie 218416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elly, were you in an accident? </p> <p>Louise, I have several red and cream bags. A few black too. Different moods and levels of dressiness. I do not own any brown bags. </p> <p>I do not have a purple or turquoise bag (poor me). I have been looking for the perfect ones for years. I also want a fuschia bag. </p> <p>Btw, I don't count my red bags - thats the only colour that is allowed to overflow </p>
