Are you saying you plan your outfit around your bag? :smile:

Sometimes I do. For basic workdays I basically go for a bag that fits my stuff and I don't carry my bag around at work so the bag just has to look pretty on the shelf.
For event days at work or for free time I usually go for the bag I want to carry and then think of what I might wear with the bag. I have no real fashion sense so a bag is an easy way to start planning an outfit. :smile:

Usually, I would pick one bag to use for the whole week but recently I find that I am getting tired / bored of it during mid week.

Do you ever regret your decision later in the day?
No.

Do you ever pick out your outfit around the bag you want to use?
No, but I would love to learn how!

Do you accessorize with different straps and charms?
Sometimes. I have some sailormoon keychains that I would always change in my bags.

How often do you go thru your collection?
Once a month, I take them out to let them have air. But yes, I do rotate them often.

How often do you feel the itch to get a new bag?
Weekly? lol.

Do you notice others bags and does it influence what you wear or buy?
Yes, and sometimes yes, it does influence me. But what matters the most is if I love the bag, whether it's a current "it" or not.

How often do you change bags, and how long does it take you to decide on one?
Some times daily, some times weekly. It depends on my mood. Sometimes when I get a new bag I’ll wear every day for weeks and the start switching up again.

Do you ever regret your decision later in the day? Not usually unless I’ve downsized and realized I forgot something.

Do you ever pick out your outfit around the bag you want to use?
I do actually. I like when my bag compliments my outfit.

Do you accessorize with different straps and charms?
Depends on the bag. Some bags don’t need anything extra and sometimes I just like to be fun.

How often do you go thru your collection?
A couple of times a year maybe if that.

How often do you feel the itch to get a new bag?

Every day...lol. I try to stick to 3 new bags a year.

Do you notice others bags and does it influence what you wear or buy?
I think so. Sometimes I see an outfit or bag and think hmm I haven’t seen that style before. I like it and wonder if it’ll work for me.

Interesting thread and great replies! Here are my answers:

How often do you change bags, and how long does it take you to decide on one? Not often, and doesn't take me long to decide. Depends what is going on that day.
Do you ever regret your decision later in the day? Rarely. Only when I have one too small for SO to add extra stuff
Do you ever pick out your outfit around the bag you want to use? Yes! Most of the time. i'm glad I'm not the only one.
Do you accessorize with different straps and charms? Not yet. Don't own any bags that fit that bill.
How often do you go thru your collection? Not often. I have some classics that I love and would probably never sell, but hardly ever wear
How often do you feel the itch to get a new bag? CONSTANTLY!!! I'm more selective now, but always on the hunt
Do you notice others bags and does it influence what you wear or buy? I always notice others' bags, but I rarely get influenced by others now. I buy what I like regardless of what other people like or what is trendy/popular
