Frazzled Fridays!

It's in the Bag!

Hi frazzled friends!  To those who may or will be affected by Irene, please know our prayers are ongoing.  

We have been talking about Fall accessories these last couple of blogs.  Today we'll talk about the latest and greatest handbags!  Let's be honest girls, handbags can make or break an outfit.  It's the way we carry all our "essentials" - and why not carry them in style?!  And, if you are looking for one great accessory to update your wardrobe for the Fall, a handbag is a great one!

Top handle handbags and clutches are a carry-over from Spring and Summer.  You will find these in beautiful, rich jewel tone colors, fabrics, textures, lots of fur and even polka dots.  The "rule" for handbags is the color should closely match your hair color OR should fall within your DCC.  (click here for info on your Dominant Color Characteristic).  If you have blonde or gray/white hair, your handbag color should be more neutral.  

Also remember that when accessorizing you still need to consider balance and proportion.  Those who are 5'4" or under or wear smaller clothing sizes should beware of big bags.  You don't want people to see the bag before they see you!  And likewise, if you are tall or where clothing sizes over 14 you should beware of small bags which will make you appear bigger.  

Next time I will concentrate on clothing styles and colors for this Fall!  If you only get one new accessory for Fall, what will you get?  Love to hear from you!

Blessings!
