It wasn't until I came to this forum that I started reading that taller ladies should stick to larger bags and shouldn't use smaller bags.....but why? I never understood this, I'm 6ft (and not on the slim side....) and I've always been a small hand bag kinda girl.
When I first started asking around about getting my speedy ( my first LV ) I mentioned that I was 6ft and immediately people started to respond by saying that because I was so tall I should get the bigger speedy like a 30 or 35 (even though I didn't want a 35) and now the 25 was out of the question because of my height.
I did end up going with the speedy 30, but not because it looked too small on me, but because I liked the opening and I didn't think it was too big.
I honestly think bigger bags on me look silly. I tried carrying a large black leather hobo but, if anything I felt bigger wearing it (plus I didn't have enough things to put in it...)
So, am I some kind of fashion victim because I'm a taller woman who wears smaller bags? How do clutches or bags like a pouchette play into this?
Now I know some of you may say "don't worry what other say, get what you like" and that's very true and I agree, but I really want to know / discuss this height thing. I think it's strange because I never really hear the opposite of this, that smaller girls shouldn't carry big bags!!!
Here are some picture of me and my popincourt. I'm 6'0" and way too many pounds.....
