I vow to rotate my bags more often so each one gets the appreciation that it deserves.

I resolve to put more effort into making my bag work with my clothing, instead of being lazy about bag switching.

I firmly resolve to convince my husband that spending $2000 on my dream Balenciaga is an investment…in MY HAPPINESS AND GENERAL WELL-BEING, darnit!

I spent new years working so I haven’t really had time to think about it… but i would have to say my one resolution is to find a new job lol.

My handbag resolution is to 1st buy a LV Neverfull GM(in Damier Ebene) and second is to shed my fear of using it just because i’m a guy

I will not “store” receipts and clutter in one bag, and when I want to use that bag, transfer all the mess to another bag for storage purposes…trash cans are for that!

For every single dollar I spend on any bags or bag accessories, I will donate the same amount to my local palliative/senior animal shelter. Win-win ! :)

I had a baby three months ago so my resolution is to lose all the baby weight (20 pds left) if I do that I want to buy a Balenciaga Velo in red.

My handbag resolution is to only buy investment bags. If I don’t absolutely need it, I shouldn’t buy it.

Besides the obvious resolution of only buying only what I love and “need”, I also plan on donating a bag to a friend who could only wish of owning a designer bag. I have been blessed beyond words and would like to pay it forward, be it in some minute way of showing my gratitude for our friendship.

Giving her an iota of pride would be the most satisfying resolution of all.

My handbag resolution is to celebrate myself by only making one purchase and one purchase only and it is to buy a Balenciaga handbag. I love this handbag, although I felt like I had died and gone to heaven when I found this site because I got to see all kinds of handbags my favorite is the Balenciaga. I definitely couldn’t and can’t afford a lot of the bags featured, but atleast I can dream. Thanks Purseblog!

My new year’s resolution is to define my style tendencies and find a bag that truly caters to it. No matter what brand, I will invest in a handbag that screams that I have everything together and that my handbag is the most important part of my wardrobe!!

My new year’s resolution is to forgive the designers that have created horrendous bags in the past and embrace them for their unique style.

My New Year’s handbag resolution is to stop buying bags that I will never use as a method of retail therapy. The thrill doesn’t last more than a few minutes and goes away completely by the time the credit card bills come in plus every time I see those particular bags, they are a reminder of the horrible pain I went through during my breakup and I cannot bear to use them.

i will never again buy a seasonal handbag. only classics that will last me a lifetime from now on :)

My handbag resolution is to repair any great bag staring at me from the closet shelf that has stitching loose, a broken clasp, a handle coming off – and then when I use them, to put a little treat in with the regular wallet, keys, etc – a mini box of maltballs, a pretty pen, some extra change to give out for tip jars – anything to be better to myself and others in 2012.

I resolve to buy one purse only in 2012 and I know exactly what it will be.
I will save up & only buy when the checkbook is totally comfortable with the purchase.

I resolve to use every bag in my closet this year. Sadly some of my bags went unloved last year. Will love each one at least once in 2012.

My new years handbag resolution is to stop taking my handbag addiction so seriously! It shouldn’t matter if the hardware on my bag doesn’t match my necklace or my shoes!! I need to learn to relax, and have fun with fashion!

I resolve to pull that tan Chanel Cerf Tote out of its box and use it.so what if it gets dirty. It hasn’t seen daylight in 3 years! No more light bags for me!

My resolution for 2012 is to write for purseblog! I have a passion for bag and passion for writing…but my bag collection is so small that sometimes when I try to write a post on bags on other forums I feel a bit inadequate. I love bloggin and I should channel my love into writing for bags. Hello editors of purseblog?!

I am a new mom this year and my new year bag resolution is to find a great new diaper bag. I keep debating between a Marc Jacob and a Rebecca Minkoff. You see when your getting dirty all day by those adorable little hands I don’t want to destroy all my nice clothes, but I can rock a great bag and still feel like a pretty girl.

My resolution is once I get a new job that I finally get the Burberry bag that I have been wanting for years. I also resolve to figure out how to clean my Coach bags to make them sparkle and shine!

I resolve to carry smaller purses this year. I do not need to pack every day as if it were for a trip across the continent, and my back with thank me for it. So will my chiropractor.

I resolve to support and honor my heritage by purchasing a handbag from a Chinese-American designer this year. I currently do not own any pieces from Chinese-American designers.

My 3 New Year’s Handbag Resolutions:
1. Keep my handbag clean and organized inside and out (This is my first and foremost problem ever).The soul of the bag is found in the contents so I plan to be a little mindful of what I put/keep inside and know how to put things in order.Maybe buy more organizers and small purses to help me with that, especially for my pens.
2. Always, always spray my stain and water repellent on my LVs and Bbag every 6 months to keep them safe from harm always. =) Why ignore using them on my bags when they really do work. Thanks for these inventions.
3. Resist the urge to buy a new *bag*. I think I need to be more thankful that I already have these bags now and they are all beautiful in their own way, that way I’ll be more appreciative of them and I will be able to use them often and if ever I’ll get a new bag I’ll make sure it’s a classic and versatile with my moods.
I hope I’ll be able to do all of this. =) I need to put these in my cellphone and planner, now! =)

I resolve to remove the tags from all the bags (bought over the years…) and actually CARRY them! I LOVED them online or in the store, I WANTED them, I NEEDED them, and now they deserve to see daylight (or moonlight, depending on the bag!)

I have two handbag resolutions. First, purchase a glass curio cabinet to place inside my small walk-in closet to display my bags so that I’m more apt to use all of them more frequently. Second, if my book gets published, I will buy a Birkin or a Kelly. Luckily, my super wonderful husband is oblivious to bags and wouldn’t notice.

I want to keep diversifying the colors in my handbag collection and keep trying out the brights. I also want to finally acquire my dream bag balenciaga city….gives me a goal and a reason to save $. :)

Never again allow a fashion accessory into to become a snack crumb/ stain catcher. Keep all messy snacks and drinks out of my bags and keep all pens capped and in a case!

I resolve to purchase a blue bag in 2012. My collection consists of reds, black, whites, and browns. My eye is on a blue Prada Saffiano — to match my new wallet in the same color!

I grew up in a middle-class family and so my mom would always find it outrageous for me to spend thousands of pesos for a designer bag. That’s why this year, I resolve to save enough money to buy her one- so she would finally understand why top-quality designer purses are so precious. I love her so much and I know that if she would have wanted it, she could easily buy herself anything she wants right now. But instead, she chooses to spend her money pleasing her grandchildren. I vow to return the favor and give her something she truly deserves.

My 2012 handbag resolution is to begin saving for one of my dream bags rather than picking up so many of the more affordable ones. Every dollar saved will be put to great use once that ultimate dollar amount is reached. I would like to save for a Louis Vuitton Neverfull or a Balenciaga City. Just love love love the look of both of these bags.

This year I will rotate through all of my bags. I have some bags I have not used in a long time..

My reso: no more satchels! Will focus on acquiring an awesome wallet that can double as a clutch. currently ogling a yellow Marc Jacobs zip clutch and a citron PS1 continental wallet.

I will try to be more patient, more accepting, more giving, caring and loving to all my friends and family. I will try not fret nor sweat the small things! But most of all, I will try to be more patient with people who are nasty, and mean! I will walk away from any situation(s) that may have a potential for creating huge scene. I will try to be my best at work and home.

It’s so easy to be a tPF member and get swept away with all the reveals on the forum and then by all your thoughts on handbags on your blog posts. Up until I discovered Purse Blog I didn’t even know I loved handbags! I was carrying a mini Jansport backpack for years! I think this last year I got carried away with all the beautiful bags I saw around here and ran out to get many of them, even though not all of them suited my wardrobe or my lifestyle. This year I resolve to better balance what I see on tPF, with what I need (or want!), and most importantly what I can afford. I plan to be more thoughtful in what I add to my collection and less impulsive. I think I should be able to do that without having to completely remove myself from the forum or stop visiting one of my favorite blogs! :)

I resolve to use ALL of my bags this year. I tend to get bags that I really love but am afraid to use because I don’t want to get them dirty, etc. I bought each bag because I love it and they each deserve to be used and loved

Take care of my LV Beverly…. (gotta get that handle changed!) and save up for LV Evora! Ah~ Evora…I’ve been dreaming about it since the day we met… Since my budget got tight, I haven’t bought any purses and have been just drooling… dreaming… I’m determined to drink less Starbucks coffee and buy the Evora this year!

Handbag resolution 2012: Have a specific and memorable story to go along with my next bag purchase. I got my first real designer bag on a high school graduation trip to Louis Vuitton on Rodeo Drive with my dad. I can never not smile or think of that special trip when I carry it. Although a good, coveted bag is always a plus, what makes it even sweeter is a good story. So, when someone says, “LOVE your bag,” I’ll have a reason why. And it won’t have to do with the ease of purchase, price, or designer.

I resolve to buy a big girl bag and not have remorse:)

I resolve to to buy big, and I mean large handbags to hold all to cash I am going to get this year. In 2012, I decided to go bold and proclaim that this is going to be a winning year for me and bags bags are going to be my voice!

Happy New year

My resolutions are (well if I have more than one I might manage to keep one !)

1. To not keep things ‘for best’. I’m using the ‘good’ silverware everyday now because I realize its been in a box for ten years !

2. To not weigh more next Jan 1st. Maybe I won’t weigh less, but I refuse to weigh more !

3. Get a new job that is more who I am and still manage to pay the bills.

4. Make sure every one of my 30 something bags gets an outing this year.

To buy bags I really love, whether they be a high end brand or Dooney and Bourke. I want purses for me.

i resolve not to overthink my handbag purchases!!

My resolution is , Not to resolve this year….let the life give me surprises… ( and hubby too ;) )

I just got a “Givenchy Pandora” in green for x-mas!!! The bag is absolutely adorable!!! I love it soooo much!!! and my next target is Celine Trapeze. I know it’s very hard to find nowadays. but i will try my best. wish me good luck, girls!!

i resolve to save enough money to buy myself my first Chanel maxi bag that i’ve always wanted since i was 20. 10 years on , & i’ve yet to get it.. Prices has gone way way up. But 2012 is the year i feel that i am absolutely getting it!

My handbag resolution is to take better care of my bags, especially the ones not in use. I’ve been a bit lazy in the past in this respect, and I want to keep the bags I have in the best condition possible.

I resolve to buy only two handbags I really love this year. not just buy a bag I like because it’s on sale. I also would like to set my bags up in a way that allows me to change them out more often. I’m thinking of designating a certain bag each month.

I am a very rational shopper. I hope to save more for a classic chanel bag.

I resolve to stop procrastinating….after I read this post first. :)

I resolve to stop swearing like a sailor. After a quick glimpse at those Mob Wives ladies I realized its just not cute! So good by F-bomb. Now how to get my point across with out it…

It’s 2012! Thanks to the Mayans, we have an excuse to party all we want this year (you know, in case the world really ends). I have yet been able to save up enough money for a little black crossbody that can match with any party outfits! So my purse resolution this year would be save up enough money for either a mini black Tory Burch crossbody OR the mini black PS11 I’ve been drooling over if my budget can even come close to it! Or a Minkoff Mini MAC if I can find a nice black one with gun metal hardware. Been doing research for a nice versatile crossbody but these 3 are the only ones I can see myself wearing. Please make some posts on black crossbodies! Any ideas would help.. I can’t decide! Happy 2012 everyone!!

My handbag resolution is to stop being so frugal and just go for it! Get the bags that I want. I’ve worked hard enough for it, time to treat myself! No more of listening to if you spend that much on a handbag you are crazy! I think I’m worth it!

My goal this year is to buy a pink mini burkin for my grandpa, yes it’s true I did say grandpa. No matter how strange that might seem, it is his absolute unbelievable wish. And I do owe him so much!

Maybe it’s my “pre-maternal” instincts kicking it, but my resolution is to find a bag that was not properly cared for and give it TPF makeover. All bags deserve TPF love! :D

Oops… I didn’t see that it was about handbags… haha! I want to save enough to buy my first Louis Vuitton purse.

I resolve not to have handbag envy, but to have handbag passion! and not to be affaid of carrying my girls in public! To show them off more! Like my Chloe, show her off more!

My resolution is to never go back to a cheap piece of crap purse ever again! Bought myself my first Coach just before Xmas after carrying my stuff in shoddy, cheap, fall-apart-in-a-month, no-name type bags from big discount stores all my life. Never again! So glad I found TPF so I can learn about REAL purses!

I vow to rotate my hand bags and increase the inventory a bit! I get in a bag rut and must break out to show the people of North Dakota that fashion can exist in the middle of nowhere!

I will only buy 3 bags this year!! This year I wish to change all of my accessories. (makeup bag, wallet, key chain..etc…)

I want to empty my purse on a daily basis every night so I won’t have a pile of receipts, to-do-lists, baby food and spoons in it constantly.

My new year’s resolution? After reading this site and taking in the its amazing knowledge, to actually buy my first real designer bag. I have one little B.Markowsky messenger I’ve used throughout college but I think I need to move onto a real bag, and my eyes and bank account are set on the Miu Miu Vitello Bow in pink for which I was named after. (Squeel!!!)

My greatest, and perhaps most difficult to achieve, resolution for 2012 is to refrain from shrieking inside my mind at the sight of a beautiful handbag resting on the floor in the mall. For the entire time I’m out my bag is literally glued to my body, it becomes an extension of my body like a cancerous growth, or as if I am a mother who will not allow her precious child to wander away without her knowing – this has become such an obsession that I will not eat lunch outside, go to the bathroom, push a grocery cart, browse store shelves without being absolutely sure that my bag is safe in my hands. I will not put it on a seat, on the floor, on the bathroom cubical hanger, NOWHERE. It makes me cringe to see all the other careless women who dump their bags on the floor (and other unmentionable places). However, this year I will try to control myself, let go of my bag once in a while, and not judge other women on how they seem to neglect their bags – after all they are not really neglecting their bags, they are just letting them get well acquainted with the outside world.

My resolution is to get a bag that I’m actually proud of, rather than one I got quickly without thinking about it.

My handbag resolution for 2012 is to start carrying a bag for me. This full time working mom of three young children somehow substituted my handbag/purse for a large diaperbag- for the last 7 years! I want a handbag back….MY handbag with no baby or toddler stuff inside! I want to update my handbag collection with a bang (as it has been over 7 years) . I want to make a statement and some sparkle and shine and walk around with style!

I resolve to save for a nice handbag on my “lust list” instead of frittering my money away on cheap stuff. :)

I absolutely plan on making a picture book of my bags. And write everything about each bag… Where did I get it from,occasion, how i use it. How do I match wallets, shoes with it.how I paid (gift, cash ,cc,gift card etc). An encyclopedia for each and every bag… :) and yes, I will post pictures on tpf as well :) EXCITED :D

My new years resolution is to really put 300% of all my effort into finishing designing and making my clothing collection and to finally start my blog. I am currently a fashion design student who is in love with everything fashion and all things beautiful, i would just love the self gratification of finally finishing something that i have always set on doing since i was really little and now that my skills are a little bit more better developed, i want to finish this collection of mine and to also as i have said, start up my blog that would show people some simple sewing skills that they could use to let them express their creativity and to also let them feel the way we (speaking for all designers) feel after making something wonderful :)
