Girl, you gotta sell that Jodie bag. It’s been in at least five different “biggest mistakes” and “worst purchase” videos that I can recall. Every time I see it coming, I groan 😂
For sure list the boots, someone eventually will want them but it will be a specific buyer...better have them sit online with the chance that someone takes them eventually then sit in your closet unused for 3 years
OMG those boots! Yikes, even the laces on them are oversized and like a cartoon. No matter how much money you get for them, it is better than it just taking up space in your closet. And it must be a lot of space!😅
I’ve sold things knowing that I won’t get much for them bc I was in the mindset of being completely ready to let go. If they don’t work for you, and you’re ready to let go, maybe you just have to accept taking the loss.
In my opinion, those boots look cool and are still relevant. I can see those boots worn together with wide culottes. Or a wide miniskirt, or with denim shorts, however, these two looks would be rather punk-ish.
I get why you aren't keen on them but gosh I love those boots. If I had the money right now I'd offer to buy them, going on my wish list to keep an eye out for when I'm back off mat leave. I have the same issue with costume jewellery, it ends up looking like cheap knock offs over time, not worth the money in the end x
Oh, Sophie! The boots...I'm sitting in a quiet waiting room, earphones of course, and gasped out loud. I agree that there is someone out there who would fancy them.
Great video as always Sophie. For me the GG Boots - I LOVE THEM. I own them in the beige colour way and I adoooooore them. They are complicated to style, but once you figure out they are on point. The Jodie Bag, is an absolute mess 😂 Enjoyed watching. Can't wait for the new video ❤ xoxo
I have that scarf in a pale pink and I love it but it’s got snags and bobbles everywhere. I recently bought a Dior version in the grey and so far it seems better!
That vintage Chanel is gorgeous and I love the story behind it! So adorable. My favorite items are all sentimental and have a story. I love the info on jewelry too especially the watch. Thank you for a wonderful video!
I love that Chanel bag its on my wish list but every time l have had the money in cash l could never find the bag in great condition. But when l do find the Vintage Chanel bag in great condition its always been at a time where we have been saveing for a holiday or a bill has come in .The timeing has never been right for me LOL story of my life hahanah😊❤
I think you should sell your worst items the boots, Bottega and LV scarf and Boy bag. There will be people who would like them even with their flaws and will maybe have a lot of fun with them.😊
The Dior scarf is great. I'vr beaten mine to absolute shit, crumpled it into my handbag and it looks perfect. Just shake it out and it looks great. I think that one is absolutely worth the price tag.
Hi Sophie, re your problem scarf: you can purchase a permanent adhesive from any hobby store that stops fraying and dries clear. One brand is Aleene's.
I love the boots they’re gorgeous if they’re a size 7 I would definitely buy them off you. I might have to set up a payment plan tho because times are tough but they’re really gorgeous
Sophie, I have a very similar (but not as chunky) tweed boot by Tory Burch with lug sole. I style them with a micro mini skirt, tights, and slim sweater. Yours would look great with your prada puffer coat!
Sophie, love your videos. You're very honest and upfront about affiliate links which is refreshing. Also, being able to admit you made a dud purchase is admirable. Have a clear out and make room for some more fabulous purchases. 💞
I've been WAITING for you to tell us about your earrings! They're gorgeous!!!! You've chosen beautiful combinations. Thanks for the info! : ) p.s. Love your vintage Chanel from hubby : )
I was JUST about to ask you for an LV scarf equivalent and you answered my question with the Dior scarf.....I'll have to check it out! Love your videos ❤
I have the same problem with two Loro Piano scarves -- beautiful, but so so fragile your fingernails just go through the weave no matter how careful you are, and they snag on any jewelry.
I bought that Bottega bag in a limited white with green Bottega logo and it still sits on my shelf! It’s the WORST design ever!!! Mine is in a stiffer fabric than the leather so imagine getting into that one !
Hi Sophie , fun and informative as ever; I would say use the horrors as donation for a charity you care about, someone is out there that would love them. Cheers, Theresa
The gucci tweed boots would be better without the red strap honestly it. And if you had a jacket that matched or even a bag it would be nice. Though I worry that it might actually start to catch on things since it's a tweed material.
I have two Missoni scarves one is wool and the other is a lighter zigzag for all seasons. They’ve been amazing. I get a lot of compliments and they have worn so well. Highly recommend.
good video as always Sophie . It encourages me to edit my collection as well as bag. But im sick of seeing those Idyl adverts. Every influencer idadvetising them at the moment ad nauseam.
i got the bottega when it was a square shape instead of the circle one and it's SO MUCH BETTER and fits way more i'm glad i didn't wait for the other rounder shape
Have you tried waxing the zipper on the bottega? Absolutely 💯 on the lv scarf. I snagged a few working in the store refolding them. Unfortunately they are a waste of money. 😊
Definitely sell the boots! I'm with you and really dislike them but I'm sure someone will love them and anything you get for them is better than having them sat in your cupboard!
The Jodi is not the only bag that is problematic. I have a purse from another brand and I have the same problem. It is solely the shape, not conducive with easy access. I paid far less then you did and I am grateful that I did before I spent that kind of money.
I love David's purchase-that is so sweet. I sold my boy bag 3 weeks ago because of you-so happy to be done with it. I have the BV medium hobo in chocolate brown which I find much prettier than the jody and you can get it pre-loved for a fraction of the cost of the Jody (although I don't need to tell you that).
Hi Sophie, I love your videos! Recently I saw an older video where you lost weight! You look amazing and have motivated me to begin that process Also enjoy your designer handbag videos! One more thing absolutely sell those boots!
I totally get the benefit of being able to shower with your jewelry, but you may want to consider removing for cleaning as earrings especially can get a bit, for lack of better description, goopy. It also makes it impossible to clean your ears well. Just a heads up. I personally remove all of my jewelry daily, partly because I wear different things, and partly for hygiene and cleaning the jewelry.
I actually love the tweed boots 🫢😍 I remember liking that collection but I havent seen the boots before. I sold my bottega jodie bag my wallet fell out a few times because I would leave it open. I got a cassette mini instead.
The other thing that compresses the boybag structure is pushing the lock mechanism shut. U have to be careful to squeeze it to open and shut, otherwise it pushes in the bag at that same stress point, so it’s a double whammy… maybe they intended for it to fold flat too, eventually…??? Jk 🤷♀️ Thanks for sharing ur observations and vulnerability!
Hi Sophie I’ve been watching you for a while now, I enjoy watching all your videos. I’m wondering where do you sell your stuff to once you decide you no longer want them xx
Oh Sophie…I’ve been watching you for a while living vicariously…and never commented. But my oh my…those boots! I laughed out loud😂. I’m sure someone would love them but they are so not you. Good luck moving them along.
Hi Sophie! Well, tbh, I thought those boots were not you. They look so big! I'd sell them if you can. I don't have much closet space, so I have to do a change-out when the seasons change. I'll be getting out my spring and summer clothes soon, I hope, and start packing away the heavy winter stuff. When I do that, twice a year, I go over everything and decide whether to keep, toss, or donate. Where do you sell your things now? I used to buy and sell on Ebay but I don't anymore. Too many problems.
Sophie I cant stop laughing at how I was trying to look at the boots and think of a way for them to work, then you pulled over the green/red gucci strap thing over them and I was like OH NO NO THERES NO SAVING THEM😂
Have you been to a Bottega boutique and ask them if this is normal and/or if they can fix it? I’ve found oiling a zipper can be the solution but I wouldn’t just do it on a bag that costs thousands obviously. Ask!
Everyone that has one of those scarfs say they fray and pull SUPER easily. You’re better off w/ a $5 knock off from China town. Seriously. All the versions of LV in that scarf are famously horrid.
Couldn't you carefully apply something to lubricate the zipper on the Jodie bag? And thank you for the tip on Vivienne Westwood costume jewellery, I stopped myself from getting it because I thought costume jewellery isn't durable enough to justify the price but now I'll consider it again.
Honestly maybe just give the boots/etc away. It's really easy to get caught up in "how much money can I get back out of this," but I've actually been giving some stuff away recently because it just doesn't work in my new apartment, and it's been so much easier on me mentally to just give it away instead of worrying about how much I can sell it for. The money is long gone, is how I see it.
I'm sorry to say those boots made me laugh out loud! Sell them. One person's "trash" is another's treasure. They will find a new home. I've always admired your Dior choker and I am considering buying a Dior necklace. Would you not recommend now?
I had a similar pair of Gucci boots but in white that i bought from Gucci paris outlet and sold them on VC for a profit! They sold for over £600! so just list them
Sophie cant you get the zipper replaced or fixed? If you go to a leather worker they might have a solutions for the zipper. Its hard to describe but Im thinking the under gripes of the zipper is too tight. Im pretty sure i had the same issue with a jacket and my dad loosened it for me and it zipped easier.
Girl, you gotta sell that Jodie bag. It’s been in at least five different “biggest mistakes” and “worst purchase” videos that I can recall. Every time I see it coming, I groan 😂
For sure list the boots, someone eventually will want them but it will be a specific buyer...better have them sit online with the chance that someone takes them eventually then sit in your closet unused for 3 years
For sure, if I could afford them I would wear the hell outta those boots 😍
Same! I would wear those everywhere! They’re amazing!
Sophie your husband is a gem. So happy he bought you the bag
I can't imagine paying so much for an LV scarf and then it bobbles and frays 😢
OMG those boots! Yikes, even the laces on them are oversized and like a cartoon. No matter how much money you get for them, it is better than it just taking up space in your closet. And it must be a lot of space!😅
Love the boots, they’re fashion forward and bold…not for vanilla betches tho
I’ve sold things knowing that I won’t get much for them bc I was in the mindset of being completely ready to let go. If they don’t work for you, and you’re ready to let go, maybe you just have to accept taking the loss.
The Gucci boots are very cute. I have never spotted them in the wild, though... maybe lots of buyers have this issue with trying to style them...
Love the boots, there are a few ways to style them that I envision. They are definitely an out of the box item.
In my opinion, those boots look cool and are still relevant. I can see those boots worn together with wide culottes. Or a wide miniskirt, or with denim shorts, however, these two looks would be rather punk-ish.
I get why you aren't keen on them but gosh I love those boots. If I had the money right now I'd offer to buy them, going on my wish list to keep an eye out for when I'm back off mat leave.
I have the same issue with costume jewellery, it ends up looking like cheap knock offs over time, not worth the money in the end x
For the Gucci boots ->> change the colour of the laces! Would be a bit more wearable
Oh, Sophie! The boots...I'm sitting in a quiet waiting room, earphones of course, and gasped out loud. I agree that there is someone out there who would fancy them.
I actually love the boots, they’re loud but fabulous
Love them too
Great video as always Sophie.
For me the GG Boots - I LOVE THEM.
I own them in the beige colour way and I adoooooore them. They are complicated to style, but once you figure out they are on point.
The Jodie Bag, is an absolute mess 😂
Enjoyed watching.
Can't wait for the new video ❤ xoxo
Most women wouldn't know the negative points about the Chanel boy bag...so keep ''em coming Sophie! xxx
Or don’t care. Nothing about the Boy Bag is a negative for me
I have that scarf in a pale pink and I love it but it’s got snags and bobbles everywhere. I recently bought a Dior version in the grey and so far it seems better!
This has definitely inspired me to have a big spring sort out! Why does my taste in clothes and outfits have to change so often 😅
That vintage Chanel is gorgeous and I love the story behind it! So adorable. My favorite items are all sentimental and have a story. I love the info on jewelry too especially the watch. Thank you for a wonderful video!
I love that Chanel bag its on my wish list but every time l have had the money in cash l could never find the bag in great condition.

I kinda love the gucci boots. Wish I had gotten the loafers in that fabric.
I love the boots too.
Me too

Boots: have you tried changing the laces? They clash with the GG print.
It’s refreshing to see a video on “what was I thinking” purchases! Those boots!! Yes, sell those and the Jodie to Fashionphile!
Hi Sophie, re your problem scarf: you can purchase a permanent adhesive from any hobby store that stops fraying and dries clear. One brand is Aleene's.
I love the boots they’re gorgeous if they’re a size 7 I would definitely buy them off you. I might have to set up a payment plan tho because times are tough but they’re really gorgeous
Your earring stacking looks STUNNING! 🌟
Totally agree with you!! She wears our pieces to perfection 🤩
Sophie, I have a very similar (but not as chunky) tweed boot by Tory Burch with lug sole. I style them with a micro mini skirt, tights, and slim sweater. Yours would look great with your prada puffer coat!
I have the exact same LV scarf and can agree! The first time I wore it I caught my ring on it and it pulled and I essentially ruined it :(
Sophie, love your videos. You're very honest and upfront about affiliate links which is refreshing. Also, being able to admit you made a dud purchase is admirable. Have a clear out and make room for some more fabulous purchases. 💞
I've been WAITING for you to tell us about your earrings! They're gorgeous!!!! You've chosen beautiful combinations. Thanks for the info! : ) p.s. Love your vintage Chanel from hubby : )
Yes...sell the boots!! Someone will love them.
Obsessed with the boots, if they are size 7, I would definitely consider buying them :)
When you sell them, you may take a loss on what you paid, but you gain the room in your house
Plus a bit of cash for the next purchase!
...And the peace of mind.
I was JUST about to ask you for an LV scarf equivalent and you answered my question with the Dior scarf.....I'll have to check it out! Love your videos ❤

Wow, I love those boots! I'd be interested to see if you do try to sell them or not. ❤
I always love your video 😍 you are so honest! The LV scarf is really disappointed 😔
Hi Sophie , fun and informative as ever; I would say use the horrors as donation for a charity you care about, someone is out there that would love them. Cheers, Theresa

Not gonna lie, I love the Gucci boots ❤
I have two Missoni scarves one is wool and the other is a lighter zigzag for all seasons. They’ve been amazing. I get a lot of compliments and they have worn so well. Highly recommend.
I really like the boots.. and I wear the same size as you 😊 I see how they are not your style, but they would totally work for many ladies.
Some people would LOVE those boots. Your style is chic and classy, other people are happy with an edgier look. Save the space in your wardrobe x
good video as always Sophie . It encourages me to edit my collection as well as bag. But im sick of seeing those Idyl adverts. Every influencer idadvetising them at the moment ad nauseam.
YES I AGREE WITH THE LV SCARF. i have a baby pink one and a couple of other patters and they just look awful after wearing them a few times
Hi Sophie, I think the shoes are really cool, but they are out of my price range. You will surely sell them quickly. ❤
I have the matching bag to those boots. Lol I love them!❤
i got the bottega when it was a square shape instead of the circle one and it's SO MUCH BETTER and fits way more i'm glad i didn't wait for the other rounder shape
Have you tried waxing the zipper on the bottega? Absolutely 💯 on the lv scarf. I snagged a few working in the store refolding them. Unfortunately they are a waste of money. 😊

the Gucci booits before selling try changing the laces to balck ones , I think it will make a big difference .. just my opinion
The bottega mini is adorable but non practical. Reason why i sold mine and got the Teen size and works beautiful!
You are just so much much fun. It’s such a joy every single time you post. 😊❤ love you 🥰
Sophie I really like and appreciate these kinds of videos 💗 I've made a lot of financial mistakes in college and this is talking some sense into me 🙌🏻
Hi Sophie,
I love your videos!
Recently I saw an older video where you lost weight!
You look amazing and have motivated me to begin that process
Also enjoy your designer handbag videos!
One more thing absolutely sell those boots!

LMAO your "I know, I know" when you showed us the Gucci boots. To funny !!!! They are cute but they are a lot :) Wait till winter to try to sell them.
why don't you take the Jodie back to Bottega and have them fix it. They have lifetime warranty on their leather goods now.
You’re right Sophie, those boots are ghastly! 😆
Hi Sophie, you should definitely try to sell the Gucci shoes, I am sure somebody would love to wear it.
Sophie, your lashes look AMAZING! 😍 Have you gotten lash extensions done?
for your LV scarf, you can put it over your arm chairs/couch as a throw maybe? :)
Those Gucci boots are GORGEOUS 😮, weird. Just wear neutrals and no patterns..
I actually love the tweed boots 🫢😍 I remember liking that collection but I havent seen the boots before. I sold my bottega jodie bag my wallet fell out a few times because I would leave it open. I got a cassette mini instead.

I think it is really good that you are talking about lab grown diamonds as yes they are an ethical choice and sparkle like real diamonds.
I agree. I don't buy diamonds b/c of the ethics--eco and otherwise.
Sending you big love from the US! still snowing here. I'm ready for some warm weather! 😘
I love those gucci boots! If you're a 38 38.5 I'd consider buying depending on the price lol.
Sophie I cant stop laughing at how I was trying to look at the boots and think of a way for them to work, then you pulled over the green/red gucci strap thing over them and I was like OH NO NO THERES NO SAVING THEM😂
You’re so right!!😂😅xx
I like the boots . They are different, not in the worst way . They might no be to everybodys style, but honestly I have seen a lot worse
I do like the Gucci boots--the laces are all wrong. Change the laces and try again. That's awful about the LV scarf, what a shame.
Chanel jumper is stunning Sophie💗
this was truly informative. one can only figure this out after owning the piece thank you for sharing
Have you been to a Bottega boutique and ask them if this is normal and/or if they can fix it? I’ve found oiling a zipper can be the solution but I wouldn’t just do it on a bag that costs thousands obviously. Ask!
Those boots would be PERFECT for Burning Man!
Everyone that has one of those scarfs say they fray and pull SUPER easily. You’re better off w/ a $5 knock off from China town. Seriously. All the versions of LV in that scarf are famously horrid.
Couldn't you carefully apply something to lubricate the zipper on the Jodie bag?
And thank you for the tip on Vivienne Westwood costume jewellery, I stopped myself from getting it because I thought costume jewellery isn't durable enough to justify the price but now I'll consider it again.
For the zipper, get some graphite powder.
Honestly maybe just give the boots/etc away.

I'm sorry to say those boots made me laugh out loud! Sell them. One person's "trash" is another's treasure. They will find a new home. I've always admired your Dior choker and I am considering buying a Dior necklace. Would you not recommend now?
I really like these gucci shoes, I'd try them with (pleated?) mini skirt and a sweater/sweatshirt.
The boots need to go! Doesn’t matter what you get for them. They are not giving of joy anymor. Or ever, lol.
Sophie, do you still wear your Jord watches? Yes, I've been watching you for a loooong time.
I am tempted to get that necklace and initial pendant so pretty. Does anyone know if they ever offer coupon codes?
Take the boots to 'Luxury Promise'...betcha' Claire could sell them.
I would not have a problem wearing that Gucci boots.
I’ve always wanted those Gucci boots
I had a similar pair of Gucci boots but in white that i bought from Gucci paris outlet and sold them on VC for a profit! They sold for over £600! so just list them
I don't buy costume jewelry since I don't like the feel of it on my skin. The metals are always slightly reactive with people's skin pH.
I don’t know if this is an option but I would sell to luxury promise.
Sophie cant you get the zipper replaced or fixed? If you go to a leather worker they might have a solutions for the zipper. Its hard to describe but Im thinking the under gripes of the zipper is too tight. Im pretty sure i had the same issue with a jacket and my dad loosened it for me and it zipped easier.
If you’re selling the Bottega, I’m buying it!
I love the boots I’d totally get them what size are they. I’d love to get them
Sell the boots, someone will have them and consider converting the scarf to a cushion cover.
I have those Gucci boots too, never worn them and the opening at the ankle is rather tight on my hammy legs.
