Question
Does the biblical prohibition against crossdressing apply only to wearable garments, or does it extend to accessories that are not worn? I am asking because I acquired many of my grandmother’s possessions as she is selling her house. Most of them I find useful are gender neutral, but one of them is an airline carry-on bag that is the best quality, most practical thing like it I have ever seen. The only problem: it is pink with flowers and looks so feminine.

Question
If a Jew does something during the three weeks that is forbidden during that time (e.g. listening to music, getting a haircut), have they actually sinned according to Halacha? Is it a sin, just like violating Shabbos or eating treif are sins? Would the term ‘avera’ be applied to such an action? Is the intentional, willful violator of the three weeks restrictions required to make atonement?
