Does anyone shop by the rule or do you just get what you like?

I'm a curvy girl and was looking at a Willis but according to the rule I should be carrying a tote or something square and structured to offset my shape. I'm so conflicted!!

If I went by that rule I'd be luggin' around a 144 cubic foot storage pod on a tractor chain.

What rule? And who made this rule? Sounds to me this "rule" is just someone's opinion. Buy what you like and want to wear. I'm not a tiny girl and I wear Willis and I think the mod shots Willis on her look fab! :biggrin: life is too short to worry about "purse" rules.

Personally, I think purse size/shape matters more with short or narrow people than it does the other way around. A larger person can wear a small bag and rock it, IMO, but a short person will look overwhelmed by a large bag and a very slim person looks weird with a wider bag. I’m tall with a narrow build, and frankly feel stupid carrying something like Abigail because when I turn sideways there’s more purse than me lol, whereas Maggie is flattering (I love Maggie.) I think there’s lots of bags that go nicely with everyone’s shape though.

This is my problem. Large bags overwhelm me and I look like a kid playing dress up.

I've never heard this 'rule'. Even if I had I would ignore it! I wear what I want, I don't care about some silly rule someone wrote. If you like a bag, wear it proudly and it'll look great.:smile:

Never heard of the "rule" either.
I buy what I like and what looks good on me when I look in the mirror. I don't even ask the SA (or anyone else) because each will have their own, often different opinions.

Come on, there are tons of different designs....I will get what I like according to my rules.

I am going to pay hundreds on a purse and it's a huge wasting if it is just sitting there because I don't like it that much or because it doesn't go well with my dressing...

If I want to try something bold, I won't pay the FP......

Just my 2 cents....:P

I buy what I like, as long as I feel like it looks good on me.

Here's some mod shots where I'm not wearing them all at once :P
If a big gurl rockin' Willis is wrong, then I don't wanna be right!


(note: British Tan is not mine...... yet! ;))
