Some of my female friends have a handbag for every day of the week and then some, like me! But regardless of whether you only want one or two, or if you are like me and you simply must have them in all shapes, colours and sizes there are some basics to follow.
Many women will see something they think they love; only to get it home and find out it really only goes with the outfit they were wearing when they bought it! So it ends up sitting in the bottom of the wardrobe, collecting dust along with the collection of once worn shoes! - Come on girls, we all have them!
  
If you follow a few guidelines you can eliminate a lot of these issues. You might find you save a few quid too!
You see someone with a bag that you just have to have and you can’t wait to get it. Stop! The first thing you need to ask yourself is, “Do I have more than one outfit that will work with that bag?” Let’s face it, we could spend hundreds on accessories, but never have anything that goes with them! Also, is it really your style? - Or do you want it just because everyone else has one, like all those extra shoes?
Are you going for the cute and sexy look, or are you after a more formal style? Having one bag for work and one for going out is fine, especially when you may have some white collar job where you have to be reserved and your true personality needs a bag that screams, “Look at me”!
  
Another thing you want to keep in mind, is to consider your own body when choosing a handbag. You want to choose one that is flattering to you, if you consider yourself on the large side, you don’t want a bag that you can barely get over your shoulder, cutting off the circulation in your arm, just because you liked it in the shop! The same applies, if you are very slim. Don’t buy a huge bag that swamps your tiny frame!
Next, think about what you are going to put into the bag. Is the bag you like up to the task? Will it hold everything you need it to hold? The key word is NEED! Also, be sure that it going to be comfortable. You wouldn’t take a suitcase of goodies clubbing with you… Would you!?
What is it worth to you? This is a much bigger issue than just price. Are you going to use the bag regularly? Is it worth what you may have had to sacrifice to buy it? If you are happy with the price and feel it was worth that to you, then it’s a good price. Try considering the price on a ‘cost per use’ basis! It may be rather expensive, but if it will be used every day, then so be it!
Happy Shopping!

What Does Your Handbag Say About You?
You can tell a lot about a person, not only from the clothes they wear, but also from the accessories they have, including the handbags they carry. It’s hard to believe, but you can find out a number of things about a women’s personality just by the type of handbag she has. Below you will find a number of handbag styles and colours as well as what each specific type of handbag says about it’s owner.
Styles: Under the Shoulder. Handbags which have handles but are smaller and fit tightly underneath the shoulder indicate class and sophistication. A women working in an upscale office or someone of high stature might choose this form of handbag.
Â
Â
Big and Bulky bags are casual and are often associated with younger girls. They are generally used for individuals who carry a number of things (folders, books etc) and require a lot of space. Down-to-earth, lower-maintenance women might carry this type of handbag.
Designer handbags often cost an arm and a leg and therefore are usually associated with high-maintenance females. Females who are confident and like top of the line accessories will settle for nothing less than a name-brand designer handbag, with matching purse. Guys - watch out for these girls, they can be a handful!
Leather with Buckles and Pockets - Women who choose leather bags with lots of buckles, tassels and Pockets are leashing out their wild sides. These women tend to act before they think and are always ready for a good time. The extra buckles and pockets tend to signify a ‘bad girl’ image.
Colours: Bright Coloured handbags like hot pink, purple, bright blue and green indicate that the woman is fun, friendly and approachable. Women who are out-going and sociable will tend to choose these colours. This is the type of woman who will strike up a conversation with a complete stranger.
Black and Brown - Women who choose black or brown handbags tend to be more reserved and are often mistaken as being snobby or restricted. These types of handbags are often associated with down-to-earth women, who are shy at first, but open up after a while. They tend to exude a shy confidence, which is sometimes mistaken as someone who thinks she’s better than others.
The style and colour of your handbag says a lot about you. Choose your handbag very carefully and remember you can choose more than one style. You may feel like being reserved one day and the centre of attention another… It’s natural to want different things in life!

Some women have handbags for day of the week and seem to be toting a different one every time they go out. No matter whether you’re looking for one or two understated purses, or if you’d prefer to have a dedicated handbag room full of ‘loud’, stylized satchels, there are a few simple rules to live by when buying a new handbag or just selecting from your existing panoply of purses.
As with clothes, different handbags suit different girls with different body types. If you see someone carrying a purse that you absolutely must have this second, think about it for a bit before rushing off to visit Sam Moon; will that handbag really fit your body type, or did it just look good because of the person carrying it? If you’re tall and thin, it may not make sense to get a cute and tiny purse that you saw a shorter girl carrying, as it may just serve to make you look bigger.
 
If you’re small and petite then it’s important to give some thought to proportion - a bag that looks fine carried by a taller may look oversized on your smaller frame. If you’re trying to draw attention towards or away from a particular attribute, ensure that you get a bag that hangs at that body level, as eyes will be drawn wherever your handbag sits.
It’s very important to give some practical thought to your handbag - if you carry very few items on a daily basis, it’s not important to have a massive bag with dozens of pockets. But at the same time if you’re a higher-maintenance gal, a tiny one-pocket purse crammed full of essentials is going to wind up looking like a shopping bag!
Quality is important too - good materials and good construction will yield a bag with good structure, keeping it from flopping and sagging, showing bulges from its contents, and of course a good bag will last you longer.
 
Â
If you like having a veritable menagerie of handbags to choose from, you may be more able to play with effervescent summer colors, prints, and styles in all kinds of funky materials but if you’re a one or two-purse girl, stick with leather or even suede in neutral colors so that you can get the highest quality and the most versatility from your purse-buying buck.
Regardless of what kind of girl you are or what kind of bag you’re looking for, enjoy the shopping experience, but make sure you think ahead to what that bag will look like with your other outfits - no one likes a case of purse buyer’s remorse.
