from Glitter Less Gold

For the first time in my life I find myself in a position where I am able to seriously contemplate buying a Coach purse. This being Dallas, a designer purse is, apparently, one of life’s necessities. Most of my coworkers sport some fancy name bag; even my sister has a Coach and a Dooney & Burke purse.

I feel conflicted about this. On the one hand, I like them. I think they’re pretty, classy, and high quality. And working where I do now, in the heart of corporate America, my wardrobe has had to undergo some adjustments, and a snazzy purse would certainly make me look like I fit in more. Also they stay in style forever–just look at Louis Vuitton (I refuse to buy one of those; they are just too over the top). I’ve always had a bit of a crush on Coach purses anyway.

But on the other hand, what about my deeply held principle of not wanting to look like everybody else? Not to mention designer purses aren’t very goth-y, and the fact that I’ve always felt something like disdain towards people who insist on parading around with visible evidence of disposable cash slung over their shoulders. Plus, I don’t know anything about where these purses are made; what if they’re made in South American sweatshops or something? Somehow all my ideals about supporting local everything and not spending ridiculous amounts of money on apparently frivolous things like this.

So does all this make me a hypocrite? Am I spending way too much time worrying about it? I mean, in the long run, does it matter what brand of purse I carry?

But just for the record, here’s a picture of the purse I’m thinking of getting. Pretty, isn’t it?

Fashion tips Your Handbag

Turquoise Blue Leather Designer Handbag by Pietro Alessanro Designs

by Sheila Dicks
Do you love handbags, buy the latest trends and have lots of them in different sizes, colors and patterns or are they simply an essential item? Maybe you like handbags but don’t have the time or money to keep your closet stocked. Handbags are a great accessory and can spice up an outfit and also reflect your personality. Whether you change your handbag with every outfit or carry one for months I have a few suggestions that may make a difference in what you choose.

Invest in Quality
Before you buy make sure that your bag is well made. Check the stitching to make sure it is secure. Make sure the zipper works properly and in the case of cotton bag, that the zipper doesn’t get caught in the material. A good quality, classic purse will last for many seasons.

Is Your Bag the Right Size?
Your bag should be in proportion to your body. If you are a small, petite woman do not carry a huge bag because it will overwhelm you. Large, tall women should stick to larger bags. The key is keeping your bag in proportion to your to your size.

The Occasion
If you can find a bag that will take you from the beach to school, to an evening out that’s great but not likely. Different occasions require different bags. A straw bag is great for the beach, a knapsack style bag is great for school, and a clutch is great for an evening out. However, neither can be used for many other occasions. A black leather purse can be most versatile and can be used for many occasions. However, a black leather purse will probably not be enough you may still need a straw bag, knapsack or clutch depending on your lifestyle.

Your Bag Should Complement Your Outfit
If you dress in one color, spice it up by choosing a handbag that matches the accessories you’re wearing. If you’re wearing patterns or prints carry a handbag that is a solid color (choose one of the colors in the pattern). This is a season when there are lots of bags to choose from in different styles, colors and patterns. Handbags can be a great accessory, so, before you buy, keep in mind how often you will want to use it, where will it fit in and what it will match.
