WHAT DOES YOUR BAG SAY ABOUT YOU
Spring is around the corner and though I’ve been planning, making wishlists and stocking runway pics all winter long just to be prepared for when this long craved for moment will finally get to influence my wardrobe and implicitly my mood, there’s one super-important field I kind of feel unprepared for: the one of the accessories – handbags, to be more specific. And it’s not because I haven’t already build tons of lists of my fave arm-candies ready to amp-up my closet come Spring – it’s because I almost always end up choosing the most classical styles and colors among them – no wonder my handbag collection is made out of blacks and beiges. Trying to find answers that could help me cure this addiction for the ”classic-till-boring” styles I seem to have developed over the years, I did a little research on the subject – apparently we choose our bag according to our personality and the styles we feel more attracted to, despite the trends, are the ones that really define who we are. I’ll be posting down-below what I understood about the personality of the ones who carry five of the most common handbag styles.
The Medium SHOULDER BAG
You’re a practical and organized person who doesn’t like to carry around extra stuff for the sake of being prepared for the unexpected. You know exactly what you want and don’t ever take the long path to reach for your goals. A pen, your phone and a bit of gloss are all the items you toss in on a daily basis. What more do you need, after all?
The Fashionable BACKPACK
You leave the impression you place comfort over the latest trends when in fact we all know it is quite the opposite. Right, hiking in nature might be your favorite weekend activity but you sure wouldn’t mind trading it for attending the Chanel show during FW – in fact that’s where you got your inspiration from in the first place, isn’t it? Sometimes undecided, you like to plan things in advance, that’s why your roomy backpack can easily get overstuffed with things that other people might not need on a daily basis – neither do you, but you’ll find this out only after your back will be killing you.
The Designer TOTE
Versatility is your main concern when choosing a handbag, that’s why you prefer a roomy carryall that transcends seasonal trends. Your motto is quality not quantity and you usually make wise investments that will last over the years. The ones who don’t know you might find you unreachable – they couldn’t be more wrong: quiet elegance and maturity have nothing to do with inaccessibility. Even though you might have more than one bag, you always come back to the classic one that goes with everything.
The Daytime CLUTCH
On top of the latest trends, never seen without flawless makeup, you’re conquering the streets, transforming them into your personal runway. You love to experiment with the hottest trends and the word “risk” is currently not in your vocabulary. One step ahead of the crowd, you’re most likely the dream of every street-style photographer. I kind of wonder what do you keep in that tiny clutch…
The MESSENGER BAG
You don’t and will never accept torturing your feet with stilettos – sneakers are the leitmotif of your every outfit – in fact, you wore sneakers with your NYE sequinned dress even before it actually got to be on trend. Super-sporty and with a penchant for comfort, you have an outgoing personality that helps you handle every kind of situation with absolute serenity. Your main transportation is the bike and you feel a deep connection with the nature, though you wouldn’t leave home without your phone and tablet – easy enough to store them into you roomy cross-body bag.
