How Many Handbags?
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!
