Choosing a Discount Designer Handbag for Style and Utility
Handbags! The albatross of today’s woman. How can we get along without one? It’s always hanging from your elbow or pulling down your shoulder. But we always carry one, don’t we? If you’re stylish but cost conscious, your taste runs to Discount Designer Handbags, particularly Fendi Replica Handbags or Gucci Replica Handbags. If they are close copies, who will know they are what they say they are?
Since we’re stuck carrying a handbag, we should think about what makes a purse the best it can be. Of course, style is number one for most women. While I, personally, think all purses are by definition unattractive, some are less unattractive than others. With a faux designer handbag, we can go with the style sense of the designer. And, as we walk in public, our fellow pedestrians will automatically see this style sense in us. We show off our Fendi or Gucci, so we know what’s in today.
The next consideration after style is convenience. The solution to the convenience problem is pockets, pockets, pockets! Pockets allow you to what you need quickly. You need a pocket for your cell phone. Another for your sunglasses or reading glasses. A third for makeup. Still another for small objects like coupons, cough drops, and wet wipes. Finally, the vital pocket: the place for your keys. Keys seem to sink immediately to the bottom of the purse like a stone into the lake as soon as you drop them in. This key problem goes far back in time. Remember that popular song from the early sixties? “And She Can’t Find Her Keys.” So make sure the purse you select has enough pockets to separate your stuff into easy-to-find places.
Another selection criterion is weight. My allusion to the Ancient Mariner’s albatross refers to the weight of the handbag. This is a serious consideration because it’s not just a question of personal comfort. It is also a question of health. A shoulder bag that is too heavy puts a strain on the muscles of your shoulder. This strain can lead to pain, and, since, as I’ve said, we have to carry a handbag at all times, this pain has no chance to heal itself. Switching shoulders may temporarily ease the pain, but, in the end, it just gives two sore shoulders. Over time, the purse on the same shoulder may make that shoulder sag, giving you a higher and a lower shoulder. The solution? Choose a purse that is as lightweight as you can find. And then perform triage on the purse on a regular basis. If it’s not a necessity, take it out. Keep your reading glasses around your neck. Cull the lipstick supply down to two. Use a small comb instead of a heavy hairbrush. Keep rarely used keys in the glove compartment.
If you use these guidelines, you will look stylish but not weighed down like a mail132013201320man with his pack. And you will put your hands on what you need in an instant.
