Forget you are what you eat. According to Luxist.com, you are what you carry all day.
We tend to agree -- the type of handbag you carry definitely speaks to your taste, and, sometimes, your personality. The site posted their own bag personality test of sorts today, claiming that a shoulder bag says you are thoughtful and practical and sporting a knock-off says you put "a fake front to the world." Seems a bit like an old YM horoscope if you ask me. Here's what we think your handbag is actually saying:
1. Oversized: We love a handbag that's half our body weight: its girth inevitably creates the illusion that you are thinner, and we appreciate a bag we can use every day, adding mini mirrors and lip glosses as we encounter them. Conclusion? An awesome bag like Tano's gold hobo means you're pretty clever, and kind of lazy.
2. Clutch: Luxist claims that if you carry a clutch on a daily basis you are a "jet-setter." No. Everyone knows that using a bag as small as this cute, foldover style during daylight hours says that either (a) you have an assistant -- or boyfriend -- trailing close behind with real stuff or (b) you're on a walk of shame.
3. Neutral: Apparently toting a bone-colored bag like Juicy's Rule Breaker tote says you're personable and friendly. We say neutral handbag means you're a practical shopper -- you'll shell out for something that you know will go with all your outfits -- but we really can't vouch for the friendliness part.
Carrying a neutral handbag? See what it says about you.
