The congruent image is characterized by the fact that it is an integral image: all components complement the external appearance of a person, they shall, and not overshadow. Already the winged was the saying of Coco Chanel: "If the beauty of some woman struck you, but you don't remember what she was dressed, it means that her outfit was perfect." More precisely and you can't tell, right? Nevertheless, there are some "markers" in each of our outfit, which themselves consistently attract the attention of others and capable of telling a lot about us. It is to such "talking beacons" belongs to shoes and bag. Style, shape, the condition of these items literally reveal us as a book for a careful third-party observer. We will talk about the surprising world of shoes next time, and today our topic is the diversity of the ladies' handbags and their owners.
What is a bag for a woman? Accessory, provider of secrets and joys, status symbol, pride. We are organically able to keep money documents in pockets like men. We do not understand how you can get out of the house without a mirror and thousands of smallest things for all occasions. We know a million ways to justify impractical size and china, if we liked the bag aesthetically. We are women, and the handbag is our whim.
From the point of view of functionality and size, two extreme categories can be distinguished: "Baula" and "clutches". Somewhere between them will be located ridiculous medium size: being more familiar look, more ordinary, usually they attract less attention than the above-mentioned subspecies. A huge bag talks about the processes and practicality of the owner: she has everything with him. But, on the other hand, such a choice may also testify about anxiety and uncertainty: the girl is constantly worried about "What if?", If you come out of the house, for example, without a sewing set or a spare pair of shoes. "Microscoups" - another pole: women who choose them for everyday use, put the appearance above the functional relevance. As a result, they are forced to carry more folders with documents, a laptop or tablet in a separate case, fold their scarbs on the vehicle seat and then collect from the floor after a sharp turn ... often, alas, these items "pack" in the package (paper or polyethylene ), which, in the ensemble with a clutch, looks strange and even comical. Characteristic: feminine, spectacular, but, unfortunately, often poorly adapted to household life.
Material and shape of the bags that you prefer, also matter: soft bags-droplets, bag-saddles, bags-toke talking about your reluctance to fight themselves by the frames, about the desire for femininity, about the fattyness and tranquility of character. Inside such models, as a rule, it is more difficult to maintain order and look for anything, so they prefer more creative personalities who do not seek to thoroughly organize. Rigid frame bags made of dense or lacquered leather prefer disciplined pedanks, women who need to have a lot and do not forget about: Paper separately, cosmetics - in a special compartment, handle - in the loop, passport - in the inner pocket on zipper. In order not to turn into the "Sukhar-Mumper" from the "service novel", give your handbag with the shade of uniqueness, tagging a silk handkerchief or hanging the keychain that characterizes you.
The overall state of the bag is also not just an indicator of your accuracy. If it leaves much to be desired, often immediately becomes an obvious and unenviable financial situation of the hostess, and its inattention (for which it does not take attention, for example, a recruiter during the interview). Ladiesky Ridicul, I repeat, reflects social status: if you strive to increase it or declare it, follow the difficult care that the bag does not fail in this.
Finally, refer to the question of color. Black is, of course, a recognized classic. But a poor-quality shapeless black bag rather "kill" any image than it becomes its universal basis. Remember also that, although the achromatic colors (black, gray, white, "are combined, in theory, with all the others, but in fact they may not fit the style and mood of the outfit: for example, black bags most often look very" hard " In the summer, complete with clothing from lightweight materials of light shades. And vice versa, the bag shade of the bright "pull eye" will not fit into the business or evening solemn dress code.
