Why a Bag Can't Make or Break Your Outfit

Controversial topic time + my favorite "lower key" bag curation

I’ll admit it: I love a controversial topic. In senior year of high-school I had a big grad project that you could have chosen ANYTHING to do. Some people chose to make their own prom dresses, others chose creating a cupcake business. Me? I chose to debate and present about a controversial topic…

And I kid you not, the topic I chose was The Death Penalty. I am laughing as I write this thinking about how crazy that was. It was taking stereotypical 2000’s emo-girl to another level. My brother and I would throw out “controversial topic time” at every Thanksgiving just to get people talking. (We stopped doing this after 2016 for obvious reasons, as I am quite happy to NOT know who in my family leans MAGA thankyouverymuch.)

Me in high school. There’s so many embarrassing things about this photo I can’t name them all.

Suffice it to say, I also enjoy fun, lighthearted controversial topics too, like… handbags!

I think the entire continent of Asia and then some will torch me for this, but hear me out… but having a designer handbag isn’t going to change:

1. How your outfit is perceived

2. How well your outfit looks put together

3. Make you feel more stylish

Let me break it down.
