How To Pick Out The Perfect Purse!

Have you ever had a hard time picking out the perfect purse? Do you have a purse but don't really like it so it's sitting in the back of your closet collecting dust? Do you even own a purse? Well, if you answered "yes" to the first two questions and "no" to the last question, then these quick step by step instructions may help you out a ton! CAUTION: You might have fun purse shopping! (:

Step 1: Ask Yourself 
            -What kind of purse am I looking for today?
            -What's my budget?
            -How much am I willing to pay for a bag?
            -Is it for a special occasion? 
            -Am I going to use it everyday? 
            -What do I usually carry in my purse? 
            -Do I want it to match a certain outfit?
            -What kind of purse am I looking for? (Tote, clutch, cross body, shoulder, etc)
            -Do I want to color coordinate with my accessories?
            -Is there anything specific I would like? (Zipper opening, pockets inside or outside of purse, etc.)
The answers to the these questions are essential to begin down the road of picking out the perfect purse!

Step 2: Don't Be Quick To Pick
           Now, it's great to have options when it comes to purse shopping. If you see a purse that you like or might consider, keep it in mind and move on. You don't have to totally forget about it but sometimes there are better purses than the one you're looking at. Consider sturdiness, function, size, design, and price. Don't buy an overpriced bag! It may end up being poor quality and not last long. Another tip, don't buy a bag just because it's cute but you know in the back of your head that it won't last. There are plenty of cute purses that can last long as well. Whatever you like, take note of it and you can come back to it later.

Step 3: If You Don't Absolutely Love It In The Store, You Won't Love It At Home
            Now it's time to slice 'em and dice 'em! Go down the list of what you have seriously considered to be the lucky purse you're going to buy today! Remember, ask yourself the essential questions and don't lie to yourself! If it's cute but not sturdy, don't buy it. If it's KIND OF meeting your needs and wants, don't buy it! There are plenty of purses that have everything you need and want, not KIND OF. So cross off every purse that isn't satisfying you to the max. When you have narrowed it down to 2 or 3 purses, consider which one is more sturdier, reasonably priced, fits the occasion, color, and design.

Step 4: Take That Lucky Purse Home!
            Walk on down to that cash register and buy that beautiful thing! Take it home and use it when you need/ want to. Don't forget to wrap it up or place it in the bag that came with the purse. You don't want to depreciate the purse in any kind of way, especially if you plan on keeping it for a while. Other than that, have fun with your lovely purse!
