Step 1
FABRIC OR DEAD ANIMAL? Well, there’s always petroleum, too. Go greenies. Where will your purse live? Are you conscious of where you set it? Keeping a purse clean is something to consider as you lay out your cash. Suede handbags are gorgeous but quick to self-destruct. Fabric handbags can go bad quickly, if you’re not careful. If you’re spending big bucks on this accessory, take time to treat it right.

Step 2
ARE YOU ORGANIZED OR A SLOB? You know who you are, Ladies. For some of us, it’s a starry-eyed fantasy to think we’ll set up a system to best utilize those multi-pocketed purses. We look admiringly at you women who actually keep your cell phones in the cell phone pocket. It must be a genetic thing… Us slobs usually stick with the grocery bag concept. A black hole of oblivion is what our favorite handbag becomes. Always searching.

Step 3
BLIMP SIZED OR CELL PHONE SIZED? It is so much fun to watch handbag addicts drag their lives around in such beautiful fashion. Just watch your back, literally. Carrying too much weight on one shoulder can throw off your posture. We want you standing straight and proud way into your 90’s.

Step 4
Marni HandbagPICK AN INTERESTING SHAPE. If buying a purse doesn’t thrill you, perhaps you’ve gotten into the dreaded purse shape rut. There is a cure. Consider new adjectives to describe your future purse. Take some style chances, don’t be rectangular your whole life. Look for an unusual silhouette. A stunning handbag is an architectural achievement.

Step 5
ARE YOU A LABEL LOVER? You want a Fendi?, Louis Vuitton, Burberry or Gucci? If you love designer handbags but prefer eating instead, check out the fashion magazines. See what’s cookin’ and then go shopping. Money is tight these days and Target has knockoffs worth looking at. Other department stores, too. Don’t be a low budge snob. You would be amazed at what’s in these stores. You just need to look. Go online first. Save some time and gas.

Step 6
YOU CAN RENT A HANDBAG, TOO. It’s kind of like renting a car, only you can’t tote as much. There are sites out there where you can trade in bags and keep the beauty flowing. Your addiction for the latest will be forever soothed.

Step 7
DON’T FORGET THE TRUTH WE ALL KNOW. But choose to ignore when it’s handbag love. The bigger the bag, the more ***** we’ll put in it. Who needs to carry a can opener or dictionary on a daily basis? You’re just going across town, so buy a handbag that keeps your mind at ease.
