When it comes to adding a little 'Purse-onality' - Denver Women Have It In The Bag!
One of the easiest ways to add fresh trend to your own fashion statement is with purses and handbags, which can also add instant style and personality to any outfit. It is the one accessory that cannot go unnoticed if you carry it according to the outfit and occasion.
Our handbag is one of our most trusted accessory – we take one with us virtually every place we go and rely on it to stash our essentials. So why not experiment with color, materials, shapes and sizes? The tried and true method of unifying your look by matching your handbag and shoes is considered a thing of the past – a bright red colored bag can give an all black outfit some punch!
Handbags are out there in the boutiques, shops, department and discount stores to fit any budget – whether it is European & designer, unique & trendy, sensible & functional or chic & snazzy it is with in reach to have the perfect bag. “When I hit the road, I like to sling a slouchy hold-it all large purse over my shoulder”, said client Diana Romo with a laugh “I never switch bags”. So, a classic sack or hobo either in a neutral grainy leather or snakeskin with metal accents would be on the right track for her.
Wait! Before shopping for the ideal bag, consider the Five Essential S’s of handbag selection:
- Style - always try on a handbag and look at yourself in a full length mirror to make sure the style reflects your fashion sense and if it works with your proportions. Control your bag and your look – do not let it control you.
- Structure - consider all the options in materials such as leather, silk, beaded, plastic, snakeskin, python and suede. Beaded and silk bags are very classy for parties, weddings and official functions whereas leather and fabric bags are good for daily use.
- Size - your bag should work with your size, not against it. A teeny bag only makes a large woman look bigger, and a huge bag is overpowering for a petite woman.
- Shape – your bag’s shape should be the opposite of your body’s. A structured bag is becoming on a round figure, while a bag with soft curves flatters a more rectangular one.
- Seasonal Color – you do not have to stick to plain browns, blacks or white. You can experiment with vibrant colors too. Metallic is a great neutral and all year round bags along with blacks and blues. Try bright yellows and greens for spring and summer and red, orange or brown for autumn. Remember to put away your suede bag when the flowers are in bloom!
Whether you are the type of woman that sets out each morning with enough gear to run a Fortune 500 company from her car or the type of woman who pares things down to the barest survival kit essentials, there is an exact bag for you that will fit your life style, body shape and color tones to make each day a purse-onable one!
