My Love for Handbags <3

A Topic I can go on for days About: Handbags

 

I LOVE Handbags… It’s a complete sickness, I’m totally well aware of it. I have an entire closet dedicated to this sickness. But, the way I see it, they are an investment. You will use them every day, they serve a HUGE purpose – to carry all of your crap, and all of your boyfriends crap for that matter, and they complete an outfit. That is just THREE of the many practical reasons to buy whatever kind of purse you like. (Or my reasoning to not feel bad about having an entire closet filled with purses) P.S. I go through them frequently and give them away – But somehow I seem to “accidentally” buy more.

 

Although I have always liked nice things, and worked hard to get them, a huge misconception about me is that I am a “label hoe”, for a lack of better terms. This statement would be absolutely false. And I will prove that. Last night we went to the Tanger Outlets. Trey bought me an AMAZING Coach purse, that I can’t even take credit for since he picked it out himself. We went into Saks as well, they had amazing designer brands; Badgley Mischka, Zac Posen, Marc Jacobs, etc. BUT… I didn’t like any of them as much as I liked the Coach one. Which brings me to the conclusion that just because it’s a bigger name, and higher price, doesn’t make it better. I have never and will never buy things just for the label. I buy them or they are a gift to me because it is what I like. I think it is ridiculous to spend a lot of money on something, ESPECIALLY if you don’t have it, to be showy for status. Buy things you like. I don’t care if you are rocking a handbag from Kmart – If you like it, that’s really the ONLY thing that matters.

 

Things to look for in a handbag:

Be DIFFERENT… Don’t buy a handbag you just saw 20 people with.

Think outside of the box – Buy a daring color.

Buy different styles and sizes. You should have a small, medium, and large.

Make sure you have dressier handbag, as well as a good everyday handbag – You will use both

Buy a different purse every season.

The world will not end if your wallet doesn’t match. I promise.

Don’t be afraid to color block – This is not 1950. You don’t absolutely have to match your shoes and purse.
