If we did an inventory of your closet right now, I am sure we would find a black handbag, a brown handbag, and another black handbag.

But would we find an orange handbag? Maybe? Or probably not?

Well, here is your chance to fill the void. Spring is coming, so please don't buy another neutral handbag. Buy a colorful one!

And if you're not the "orange" kind of girl, how about a pretty light blue handbag?

I guarantee you that it won't go unnoticed.

I understand that some people are intimidated by strong colors for accessories, but as long as you keep the rest of your outfit color co-ordinated you will be ok.

Color co-ordinated doesn't mean that if you wear a pink handbag you have to wear pink shoes.

You can, but you don't have to.

It doesn't mean that you need to wear another pink piece of clothing.

You can but you don't have to.

I do prefer, if possible, to match one more item to a colored handbag.



This yellow handbag, for example, I would wear it with white cotton capri pants, a white t-shirt with a delicate yellow pattern, yellow flats, and maybe a chunky yellow cuff on my wrist.



I understand that a hip youngster would wear it with green pants and a red scarf, but that's the beauty of being young, rebel and color blind.

I also own an every day green handbag that I love dearly.

Unfortunately I don't own an extensive green wardrobe, so I have been guilty of mismatching this bag.

But it is so comfortable, and so spacious, that every time I take it out of the closet, it's always so hard to put it back (I never said I was perfect)!
