Purses! Purses! Purses!


What is your fave purse you own? What is your most expensive one? These are all very good questions. Purses are the best way to tie up the look you want.
Plain vs. Busy.
A very plain and expensive bag is probably the best one to splurge on. When you buy a complex, busy, detailed bag, there are fewer outfits you can wear it with. Which means that you have wasted your money on something you can rarely use. So if the bag you really want is expensive, make sure you have a lot to wear it with. A good idea would be to get a picture of the bag and look through all the clothes in your closet and see what you could wear with it. If there are very few items, consider searching for another, more plain bag. If you are really attached to the bag check on the brand's website to see if the bag comes in alternate colors. If the bag you want isn't pricey but is busy, remember: you want it, so buy it.
Real vs. Not.
To splurge on the bag you want is not always a bad thing. To buy a fake isn't always bad either. Before you buy that amazing real, make sure you really want it. Wait a few weeks before you buy the bag. If the urge to buy it is still the same as it was the first time you saw the bag, buy it. If it's not, forget about that bag. You don't want it enough. If the bag you love is too expensive but you need it look for smaller versions of the bag. Or, simply wait for the price to be marked down. I would not recommend buying a faux. It might not have the quality that real one has. Now, as for buying fakes. If you happen to find that one bag, but its fake, check the quality, inside and out. Find spots that might break easily. Like corners where fabric could peel, rhinestones that could fall off, zippers that could break. The fewer the better. If you want it and it has the quality of a real bag, buy it.
Big Bag vs. Small Bag.
The size of the bag is important in order to find a bag that works for your shape. If you are small and/or short, a small bag is a good idea. Don't wear huge bags. They make you look tiny. If you are tall and/or not so skinny, a bigger bag is a good idea. A small bag could make you look giant. As for tote bags, they can work with any shape.
That is purse 101.

  1. I don't own a purse. I guess I don't really need it though.
