How to Decide how many Handbags you need
(419 Words)
There is no one number that signifies how many handbags a woman needs. For some, one everyday bag is sufficient. Most women, however, like to have handbags to cover different looks, occasions and needs.
First you need to decide how many everyday bags you want. Some women primarily carry one handbag, even if they use another occasionally for a special event or when they need something small. You may choose only one bag if you get a very special one such as a designer Coach bag or a customized bag like a photo purse from Snaptotes.
Some women like to have different handbags for all of their different everyday looks. You might go based on colors (one white bag, one red bag, one black bag, etc.). Some will want an entire collection of everyday bags and simply buy the bags that they like.
You now need to think about special occasion bags. You want something that you can carry with you when going on a cruise, to a wedding and to other special occasions. You might want something generic such as a black sequin purse or a white satin purse. You can also look for things to match an outfit. Fancy purses are generally smaller than everyday purses but make sure it will fit the essentials such as your wallet and phone.
Think about whether you want a bag to match any particular outfit. It might be a signature outfit you often wear. It could be a special occasion dress. Look for something just to go with that.
You should also look for bags that meet different size requirements. For instance, if you are going to be walking around all day you might only want to carry the essentials in a small purse. Alternatively you might want a very large purse for when you are going out with your kids and you need to carry a lot more items.
You also might buy some bags for a practical purpose. For instance, you might need a bag that can handle a laptop. You might want a bag that is waterproof if you will be out on a rainy day. You might want a resort bag with seashells. If you are going somewhere where you need a lot of items, then you may want a bag with a lot of pockets. Get any additional bags you need for those purposes.
There are many different handbags available. Make a list of the types you need when you are planning your handbag wardrobe.
