Considerations when choosing the perfect purse

I used to think that all purses were automatically and by definition ugly, but not anymore. The styles in the stores today are just what we are looking for. This year the designers are coming out with slouchy, comfortable handbags that have an exciting and chic look. But, as we all know, designer bags are pricey. The good news is that if you buy a well-made replica, you can easily fool friends and strangers alike. If a dressy, elegant bag is what you are looking for, you may want to check out the Christian Dior replica handbags. If sleek and business-like are your look, consider Hermes replica handbags. In contrast, for a fun, whimsical bag, look at the Juicy Couture Replica Handbags. From this small number of examples, you can see that there is a replica bag for any woman with any personal style.

There are other considerations than style in choosing the perfect purse. The first choice is whether you want one versatile purse or you want a different purse for each outfit. If you want one purse for most occasions, you choose very carefully. Obviously, it needs to be a simple, versatile style which will coordinate with the outfit you are wearing each day. For this versatility you need to choose a neutral color. Whether this color is black, brown, or beige, you want to choose a color that matches your personality or the majority of your clothing. Most of my purses are brown because I am a very relaxed, casual person. If you are more polished and elegant, you might prefer black.

There is more than color to the perfect purse. Think about the size. Do you need a large purse or small one? A small one is more healthful for your body. A heavy bag thrown over the shoulder can cause neck, shoulder, or back pain. Over time, if you carry a heavy bag over the same shoulder, eventually, that shoulder may become lower than the other one. In choosing what size purse you need, take a critical look at when you actually need to carry every day. I consider the purse contents should be few keys as possible, a small wallet, two lipsticks (cool and warm), a comb, a pen, a handkerchief (yes, cloth), the darn cell phone, something for the occasional headache and a stain remover sheet.

After you settle on the prefect purse sizes, check out the pockets. With pockets in the bag, more is better. Mainly, you need a purse with a pocket to hold your car keys. Avoid being like the girl in the 60s song sung by Paul Petersen. You remember: “She Cannot Find Her Keys”? A pocket for the cell phone is another necessity. Your choice of a pocket for the makeup and comb depends on the size of the purse. If your choice is a small cosmetic case, you need a larger purse.

However, if you prefer a purse for every occasion, the purse world is open to you. Have a good time. Be elegant. Or toss on a backpack.
