The importance in the choice of accessories

In prehistoric times, dressing yourself was always linked to covering and protecting oneself from the cold. Of course we can find people who never dressed, however throughout history, none stopped beautifying and adorning themselves using the most original accessories…

Nowadays, knowing how to choose the accessories and wearing the right ones for a specific a look, can have much more prominence than the clothes we wear.

A good accessory can highlight and enhance any classic garment we have chosen for a particular occasion. Accessories have value in themselves but are obviously magnified when worn as part of a “whole”. At the time of purchase, we must think objectively as they reflect trends and this makes them quickly go out of style.

When I refer to value, I am not talking about price because accessories are worth what they look like, no matter the design; they have to be good pieces.

If we want our accessories to last a long time, they must be of a good quality and use the best possible materials, so that they don’t deteriorate over time.

There are accessories that are just a detail in the composition of the look but others are indispensable pieces to finish a set.

Among the most common accessories, we can name hats, headbands, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, gloves, belts, scarves, shoes and bags.

As a professional and from what I understand, what radically changes the concept of a look, are the shoes and handbag we choose. Beyond the will and the effort that we have dedicated to the selection of our clothes and the money we have invested in them, if the shoes are not well chosen and on top of that, not in excellent condition, the effort would be completely wasted.

But the most “feminine” of all the accessories, is undoubtedly the handbag. I want to put all focus on this object because it is, in my opinion, the “essential” accessory for any woman.

When it comes to handbags, quality is better than quantity since it’s an accessory that we use daily and it has to withstand the intensive use.

There are many types of bags and they come in numerous shapes.
Today the market offers many options to buy them but we must take into account our physical contexture. It is not harmonious to see a “petite” woman carrying a large handbag, or a voluptuous woman with a small one (unless if the occasion demands it, i.e. gala dinner). We also have to take into account what we want to carry inside, mostly based on its weight and obviously the interior space we need.

It is true that, as an active woman, we must fulfill different commitments during the day, and most of the time we are lazy to move our belongings from one handbag to another. The result is that we always end up using the same handbag. My advice is to invest in a good organizer (you can see one example here: www.amigorena.net).

This will make the daily task of changing the things we need to carry with us easier. This way, in just a few seconds, we can change only the organizer, with the advantage of not forgetting anything and using all the precious handbags we have stored in our wardrobe.
