Accentuate Your Looks With The Right Purse
xik...@yeah.net
corporate or casual -- your ultimate goal is to look "together" - to
look beautiful and elegant in your poise and style of clothing and
accessories. You spend hours looking for the right outfit and analyze
it many times over to make sure it perfects and gives you that eye
catching look. But do you give that same time and scrutiny to your
accessories like your purse and handbag before throwing it over your
shoulder and leaving the house?
You probably didn't know that a purse can flatten your curves almost
as much as the right pair of pants or shirt. Now that we have your
attention read on to determine your shape and what type purse you
should carry.
Try to choose a purse shape that is the opposite of your body type.
While the shape should oppose your body type for maximum flattery, the
size of the bag should be in proportion to your figure. If you are
tall and thin, look for the large sloppy bags that lay against you to
compliment your figure. If you're short and voluptuous, play off
opposites by choosing a handbag that is tall and rectangular or long
and sleek.
Most women look great with a bag that hits mid-torso because it
flatters the waist.
Take a look at the five basic body shapes and find the best purse for
your shape:
? Narrow Top/Full Bottom
If you have full hips or tummy and small top, draw the eye up with
accessories. You should carry a bag with short straps that fits snug
under your arm.
? Full Top/Narrow Bottom
If the fullness you carry on top is unwanted (some do pay for it, you
know) turn the area into a "no man's land". Nothing should cause the
eye to linger so draw the eye downwards by carrying long slouching
bags.
? Hour Glass
If you got it girl, flaunt it! This shape best describes a woman who
is balanced on top and bottom with a defined waist and is considered
the ideal body shape. You can carry off
