Handbags. Who doesn’t love them? And with so many styles, how do you pick which bag you need, and when a splurge is justifiable? There’s the slouchy shoulder bag for a day of traveling, the clutch purse for a big night out, the oversized bag for work, the sophisticated handbag, and on and on.

With all of these choices, it’s important that you understand a few things before you including:

1. Your Style: What type of bag fits your wardrobe and speaks to your style.
2. Your Budget: What are you willing/able to spend on a bag
3. Your Uses: What are you hoping to get out of this bag (style, functionality, etc.)?
