Does Your Body Match Your Bag

Marilyn sang that ‘Diamonds are a girls’ best friend’ but lets face it, where would we be without our bags. Diamonds are decorative but handbags are practical. We have our lives in them. All the essentials that we need on an everyday basis that we would die without.

Our practical needs like door and car keys, tampons, credit cards, phone and of course make up and tissues, the rest is made up of our own personal foibles and taste.

We all have our favourites which we will use, even if they don’t match our shoes, we are comfortable with it. It is like an old friend and it doesn’t have to be a designer or even a copy designer to make us feel happy.

We have so many styles, shapes and colours to choose from it can be a difficult to know what bag to go for. Then there is the designer. Who is hot and who is not? Is it Kate Spader or Rosetti or do you go for an old school. like Ballenciaga, Ferragamo or Luis Vuitton? Well money could be the deciding factor there.

So do you go to the market for ‘replica’ bag? Cheap yes, but will it last like an original? Then you have to ask yourself, do I get mugged just because I have a fake designer bag? That depends on where you go. If you are at a swanky restaurant or bar then you could become a victim. If you are getting of the last bus, chances are they will steal any handbag if it is an easy touch.

For all the choices available, there are styles that will compliment your body and others that will positively make you look awkward. Luckily, you can find out what body shape goes with which bag.
