So many women cannot leave home without a handbag or purse! Even if all they carry is some make up, this is a must-have accessory! However, the choices are huge, and different women have different ideas.
Every day accessorizing for work requires a good solid comfortable bag, one that hold everything from makeup, cell phone and car keys. Choose a simple roomy style; in leather in a solid basic color is a good choice, as leather wears well and is comfortable to carry. Is a shoulder strap good for work? It is if there are subways to negotiate, because safety is important.For those women who prefer to only carry a small amount, maybe just some money and a lipstick, look for a simple bag with only one or two pockets. This stops any hoarding of other stuff, like gum, empty wrappers and notebooks. Bags can be unbearably heavy to carry, so choose this accessory wisely. Don’t let your carry-all give you neck and shoulder pain.Today’s biggest look is a tote with bright colors and patchwork, lots of room and pockets. It should fit comfortably over the shoulder, and be huggable for safety. Totes are a great accessory for casual outings and summer.Choose a good all round bag for every day use; one that has room for your needs, and plenty of good looks. Something that is used daily needs to be comfortable to carry and good quality as this is the purse that will get most use. Evening purses are another great accessory, but don’t need to be big; just roomy enough to carry a driver’s license and a lipstick for touching up. Find one with sequins or metallic fabric that glow in candlelight and twinkle in the dark. Buy it in a neutral color so it can be worn with any dress.

Shoes are very important for the bride. Firstly they have to be comfortable. Also they should match the dress. Unless the dress is simple and unadorned, shoes should not be sandals. Pumps are the best for brides with full skirts and long trains, preferably with a small heel and no adornment. For brides with a simple dress, short or ankle length, sandals or peep toe shoes are acceptable. Remember this when out looking for the accessories.
Jewelry is usually simple. Pearls are among the most popular accessories for brides today; the timeless look is simple, and ethereal. Too much of anything detracts from the overall look.
Very often the bride will want to follow the “something borrowed, blue, old, new”. A good choice here is to incorporate the jewelry into that. Something borrowed might be a handkerchief or a prayer book. Blue could be the garter, and old is the pearls from a relative. The new item? Well, how about the dress?
