Advice on next steps

📒 Hermès Journey

Hi all - wondering if you could give me advice on what I should do next. I received my first QB in March after about four months of serious spending. I’m based in Seattle. My prespend was about 2.4:1. Since then, I’ve spent a very decent amount and I’m currently at 1.4:1 (assuming the price of a B25). I’ve bought a gold ring, three rtw pieces, sneakers, a fringe twilly, and some scarves. I also bought a rodeo and a calvi, but not counting that. The last time I was in (about 5 weeks ago) I made a large purchase - a leather vest that was over $9k (along with the sneakers). I haven’t been in the store since, but bought the twilly and a scarf online through my SA’s link. When I purchased the vest, I asked if they had moved to 1qb per year. My SA said yes, but they could try and get me non QBs. So I moved a pochette and cut to the top of my list.

I’m in no rush at all to get my second bag (either a qb or a pochette/cut), but I cannot keep spending at the pace I’ve been spending. I’m just generally conservative with my money and I don’t want to accumulate a ton of stuff. Since I went in, my SA has reached out twice asking me if I’m interested in some rtw and shoes. They weren’t my style so I declined. But I also said I was on a bit of a spending break. So they haven’t reached out in a couple of weeks.

What do you suggest my next move should be? I don’t want to take the “go in monthly approach and buy small things”. I don’t wear a ton of scarves, etc. There is some rtw from fw 26 I’d like to eventually buy, but not for another month or two. Is that too big of a break between visits? Any advice on how to keep prespend from getting out of control, while also keeping my SA relationship strong, would be much appreciated. And yes - I know I shouldn’t have spent that much so quickly after my QB. It’s honestly just so hard for me to say no when I’m in there!
