Do you remember a special item you bought that attracted you so much? Have you ever wondered why? They are often objects that accompany us for many years.

Often they are more expensive items, but just for the fact that they enhance each of our outfits, it is worth saving for their purchase.

Add the evening bag for a stunning outfit

The evening bag! What a special Summer bag! And also elegant bag! A small jewel, a precious accessory that changes the outfit. This is the right definition. I hope none of you have thought that the topic about bags was concluded with the post I published last week, dedicated to the day bag! Indeed, as the sun goes down, bags too change and become smaller and sparkling. They still remain important and indispensable to create unique and special outfits. In addition, elegant bags for ceremonies too belong to this category, so, if in this wonderful Spring’s month, between a wedding ceremony and your daughter’s First Holy Communion you do not know yet which bag you should go for, well, keep on reading my post at the dedicated page, the one that speaks about gorgeous evening bags.
How to choose the perfect day bag

How to choose the day bag? Well, it must be capacious because women put inside it a lot of things, even those that are not needed. So go for the maxi size if you are tall, but if you are like the majority of Italian beauties, you’d better choose a medium-sized bag. That’s because the bag too must be proportionate to the body shape. Try to imagine a giraffe woman with a small bag … Unbearable! Another detail not to be overlooked concerns the way how you carry the day bag. Do you remember when I told you that edges and details should never coincide with the largest part of your body? Well, this piece of advice also applies to the bag!
