Hand bag help

[Jonien]

So i've spent hours getting ready to go out my makeup is as good as it gets, gold sparkle dress, shoes and my best cerly wig, rings earrings necklace and braclet all matching, keys in my hand right i'm ready to go! but wait a sec where do I put my wallet no pockets I had forgot, I do not have a handbag which brings me to the main question?
Do I need a veriety of bags or is there a versetile type one can get away with for most outfits, I do like to match But that would mean a new bag for every outfit and that is a lot of £s or do I just try to match with my shoes.
Could do with some advise :confused:

My wife has three handbags. One is a sholder bag and the other has a handle, and the third is small dress bag. She wears the sholder bag most of the time. It is black and goes with just almost everything.

I bought myself a small brown sholder bag. I holds all I have and looks great.

I just have one...a black shoulder strap deal. I thought it was going to be a pain in the butt. But I quickly grew attached to it. I love the compartments for money and my credit cards. My femmy walk seems to benefit the minute i pull the strap over my shoulder too.

By the way as i understand it your purse is supposed to match your shoes...I think that is right. So black purse ...black shoes. I try too to have my belt match up. ;)

As a shoe gal, I tend to put my money there. Especially since they are mine and I can't share. My wife is a purse girl. So I get to wonder around that part of the department store each Christmas or birthday. I've come to appreciate how different and wonderful they are. And, even en drab, you'll get nothing but love from the clerks at a purse counter.

Like most things, a nice bag or two with the basics covers many uses. Many purses have a longer strap for over the shoulder use. They can be tucked in or removed if you want to carry it by the handles. Get a black one and a tan one to start. Then, the sky's the limit.

Watch the other women in the mall. They'll show you what's hot!

Hog hugs. Jerry

geez, if there's one thing I can't stand about my wife, she seems to buy a new bookbag or purse every month. I think she's finally happy with the purse and laptop bag she's got, I just hope neither ever breaks.
