What Your Bag Says About You

What your bag says about you

If you are anything like us here at Your Coffee Break, you are slightly obsessed with handbags and by slightly we mean completely and totally. There is something about bags that are just so amazing. They can completely bring an outfit to light or revive one if need, plus they actually carry your things. And the bag you carry to the office everyday is your most important one for sure. But you want to make sure you are conveying the right look with your favourite bag. So what does your bag say about you?

You are in the know when it comes to style and girl, you are making some serious dough (or you just chose not to eat or buy anything else in order to afford this bag.) Though this bag is super fashionable it also says you are totally in charge and want to get down to business.

You are an outdoorsy girl who is ready to go camping at a moment’s notice. You have been carrying this bag since college and you will use it until it literally disintegrates. You are also practical and know that if you are in a rainstorm you aren’t going to sacrifice keeping everything dry for a super trendy bag. You of course often pair your boat tote with your Hunter rain boots.

Kate Spade Beau Bag

You are the girliest of girls. Pink isn’t just a color, it is a way of life. Jackie O. is your style icon, you carry around a notebook with polka dots and you will wear ribbons in your hair until you are 80.

Chanel Flap Bag

This bag cost you an arm and a leg and then another arm and a leg and maybe a kidney but you know a classic like this is absolutely worth it and will be in style forever. You have a great eye and know that an investment like this is a smart move.

You have a bit of a funky side and you pay attention to fashion but you aren’t about to put down $1000 on a bag. You also love that it is called the Morning After Bag because that is often exactly what you use it for!
