MISS PURSE-ONALITY

Once a very famous celebrity said:
“ I find it vital to have at least one handbag for each of the ten types of social occasion:
Very formal, Not so Formal, Just a teensy bit formal, Informal but not that informal, Every Day, Every other day, Travel, Night Travel, Theatre and Fling”
That celebrity was (did you guess?) Miss Piggy.

Do those situations cover it all? Pretty much.

Formal. You have been invited to a Royal Wedding/ you are accepting the Nobel Prize. Your purse should be one of a kind, like you.
Not so Formal you have been invited to a wedding in Hollywood (alas nobody royal)/ you made Sports Illustrated cover/ you are getting a Daytime Emmy. Your purse should carry nothing but attitude (and cash).
Just a teensy bit Formal You are the key witness in a big televised trial/ you are the plaintiff in a big televised trial (either way, your bag should be by your side).
Informal but not that informal You are meeting your mother in law ( in other word, don’t let your guard, or your purse, down).
Every Day Career, kids, relationships; give a woman the right purse, and she will handle anything.
Every Other Day Whole Foods; Black Friday; you’ve got this.
Travel Your purse should rescue you from a 14 hours flight with four kids without working monitors. If it doesn’t, burn after landing.
Night Travel Be a caterpillar by day and a butterfly by night. Your purse should give you wings.
Theatre Life is no dress rehearsal.All eyes on you.
Fling Did you know that Louis Vuitton’s marvelous bucket-shaped bag was designed to carry five bottles of champagne?
Get the idea?

When the occasions arise, we need to rise to the occasion.
The right purse can certainly help. Way to go Miss Piggy!
