Okay, so, I’ve been obsessed with handbags lately. I mean, who isn’t, right? They’re not just for carrying stuff around, they’re like, a whole statement. And there are so many different kinds! It’s a whole world out there. So I decided, you know what, I’m gonna dive deep into this and see what I can find.
First thing I did was just look around. I went through my own closet – you wouldn’t believe the bags I forgot I had! Then I started hitting up some stores, not even to buy, just to browse and see what’s up. Window shopping, you know? I even started following a bunch of fashion accounts online, it really got me somewhere, and man, the variety is insane.
I started taking notes, like, seriously, pages and pages of notes. I made a list of different shapes. You got your classic totes, your bucket bags, your little clutches, all kinds of things.
- Totes: These are your everyday workhorses. Big enough for your laptop, your lunch, everything.
- Bucket bags: Kind of a slouchy, casual vibe. Good for weekends.
- Clutches: For when you’re going out and you just need the essentials – phone, keys, lipstick.
Then I got even more specific. I found some weird shapes like, there are bags shaped like circles, like triangles, even like animals! It’s wild. I felt like I was discovering a whole new language, the language of handbags.
I made a kind of rough sketch of each one. I’m no artist, but it helped me remember the shapes. I also tried to note down what kind of material they were made of – leather, canvas, straw, you name it.
Then I try to use them in my daily life. I started actually using these different shaped bags, trying to figure out what each one was good for. Like, a small crossbody bag is perfect for running errands, but it’s not gonna cut it if you need to carry a bunch of stuff.
After all that, I organized all my notes and sketches. I think I have a pretty good handle on the different shapes of handbags now. It’s been a fun little project, and now I appreciate my own bags so much more. Plus, next time I’m looking for a new bag, I’ll know exactly what I want.
Conclusion of My Handbag Journey
It’s been a real eye-opener, this whole handbag thing. I feel like I can speak the language now. I know which bag does what. It is not easy for me, but finally, I made it. And honestly, it’s made getting dressed every day a little more fun. Like, I’m not just throwing on any old bag, I’m choosing the right bag for the job, and for the look. It is not about just fashion, but also about our daily lives. And that’s pretty cool, right?
