How I STOP myself FROM BUYING ANOTHER BAG!- my struggles!

[oldsoulabode]

Honestly I feel that often times the hunt is far more satisfying than the actual purchase itself. I enjoy these realistic chatty videos just as much, if not more than unboxings! It’s good to know these are things we all go through.

Real talk is so much more interesting than endless unboxings .... kisses and hugs from France dear Jessie 😘

Feeling the same...I bought 8 bags from January-May and I kept saying it’s the last one and it’s never the last...I have a problem. I need handbag rehab. 😩

Hi Jessie! I’m sorry your having withdrawals from not buying a new handbag that you so much desire and I don’t blame you since I feel the same way. I constantly have to tell myself that I don’t need that next new bag and to be happy with what I have already. I try to focus on something else that’s important. But it’s been difficult since Mother’s Day ( I treated myself to a lot of stuff) now I have to self talk and hold myself back. Some discipline is good for my handbag diet.❤️

Relate 100%! It’s so hard to be a lover and consumer of luxury with the pace at which new releases occur. This is great information for really considering purchases and thinking though what works best. It’s taken me many years to understand what I will use and what will just be a phase. There is a misnomer that it’s easy to sell bags, there are so many scammers both buyer and seller that you take risk with!

I don’t know how but your videos are always so well structured and well said. I could listen to your everyday ☺️ preach on!!

[myjourney]

You can read my mind. I love bags but i could not buy all of them because its popular. It must suit my lifestyle and my finance as well.

Thanks for the beautiful sensible message. There's more to life than unboxings😍

[ameliarosescloset]

I also have real collector tendencies! 🙈

Jess, TFS this video. The struggle is real and I applaud your courage to share. I scored a tiny Coach bucket bag this weekend for less than 10% of an Epi Neonoe BB. I was so excited that I wanted to buy more colors until I realized that I didn’t need more bags. Stay grounded and show us how you style those beautifully curated bags. I don’t need to see new bags since your existing collection is 🔥

Watching your videos is like watching myself. I am a lot older than you and I don’t think I will ever stop buying handbags and small leather goods.

[StrawberryPie]

I literally have this internal dilemma all the time! Glad to know I'm not alone xx

[fashionjunky]

I can totally relate to this!! I've bought way more than usual recently...I felt guilty so also sold a bunch. It's a vicious cycle, lol.

[inwhites]

Thank you for a good video! I can definitely relate with you. I feel like I just want to buy bags just to collect them not really for use. I currently have a total of 25 luxury bags from Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, YSL and Hermes.
Just thinking of the number of bags I have and some I have not used yet stops me from buying more bags but I always have the next Chanel or Hermes bag in mind😄

[RAMIROFY]

i feel the same way. so addicted to luxury handbags...sometimes also wanting to purchase to share via my vlog. right now i am trying also to stop myself and just to shopping vlogs.

I have that itch to buy a new bag too, interesting thing is I was completely at peace with the beautiful collection I had for around 8 years & then 2020 happened... I bought a new bag & compact wallet (which is very responsible as far as I’m concerned). I have to keep telling myself that after I have paid cash for a new car then I’m free to buy more handbags, the struggle is real though since I don’t actually need a new car yet, it’s way too easy to justify putting it off.

[amybrando]

Feeling the same atm. Think we all went a little crazy last year! You need to find something else to distract you while reducing the addiction. Or set yourself a goal to use a different bag every day for a month & enjoy what you have more.

[booksandbags]

Same here. I’ve always been a bag collector, since I was old enough to carry a bag. I really need to stop. Between working from home and living in an area where there isn’t a lot to do I definitely don’t need all the bags. I really envy the people who use one bag until it falls apart three times before they get a new one. My BFF is that way. She won’t spend more than $50 on a bag and uses it until her stuff literally falls out the bottom 😆

I've been feeling spendy lately too!! But I ended up giving in lol! But it wasn't a bag this time. I bought vintage Chanel RTW. In terms of longevity I do think this purchase will last a decade at least. In terms of could I have spent this money better elsewhere, yes lol ! This wasn't a sensible purchase. Also I've been spending alot of money over the last 8 months on organising my house but those purchases have actually improved my quality of life at home so I don't feel bad about the home purchases lol. It is stressful to work through, and I agree sometimes I feel sick in the stomach after making the purchase because of the money being spent. The hunt and the chase is fun and the spending part makes me feel bad lol

[nwalks]

It is definitely an addiction!! I have about 15 high end bags & that is my absolute limit. I just can't rotate any more than that through on a yearly basis for it to be worth it! If I buy something now, I try and sell too. Keep that number in check. Doesn't include SLG's tho. 😄😄
