No, but seriously. What do you prefer? Big and slouchy or small and structured? What about the forgotten clutch? Let's weigh the pros and cons.
Slouchy
pros: big enough to fit all of your stuff, lots of pockets to keep organized, comfortable to hold on your shoulder, casual enough for everyday
cons: end up accumulating lots of extra stuff, the stuff ends up collecting on the bottom, can be heavy from all of the stuff and size
Big slouchy bags are always a favorite of mine, plus they are perfect substitutes for bulky backpacks. A favorite of celebrities, slouchy bags are awesome to throw all your stuff in and go. What I put in mine? Plum lip tint, my phone (when it's charged - aka never), my iPad, my fashion notebook, and a pair of oversize shades.
Structured
pros: small enough to only fit the essentials and not accumulate junk, comfortable size, cross-body straps perfect for hands-free shopping
cons: can be too small for some items, short straps can get annoying to hold, can look too formal for everyday
Structured bags have been making a comeback this year since fall. They're a really chic way to add polish to any outfit. The best way to pull off a structured bag is with a cross-body, because it's comfortable and convenient. My go-to bag for going out is a small olive suede structured cross-body with one front pocket. Look for one with an interesting pattern, color, or texture to keep it from looking like you stole your mom's bag. Victoria Beckham recently launched a lines of bags that includes this gorgeous structured thing. Nothing less than posh from Posh herself!
pros: big enough for a phone and a lipgloss (the nighttime essentials), embellished extras add flair to an outfit, light weight
cons: can be uncomfortable to hold because of the lack of straps, might be too small for some needed things like a wallet
The perfect choice when going to a party or for dinner. Big enough to hold only what you'll need when heading out, a clutch is especially best when it doesn't have too many pockets and zippers. This way it leaves all the room (which isn't really much) to put your things in. For a fresh twist or to wear for day, try an oversize clutch or an envelope clutch - yes, it looks like an envelope!
