Pursuit of happiness... and ultimate salvation

Dictionaries around the world gives the meaning of handbag as a woman's small bag or purse used for carrying personal things and money.

The meaning might have beed devised before women came to earth.  In reality, a handbag is a beautiful piece of woman's accessory, at times used for carrying a personal thing and money, and please note, no woman has just one handbag(for that matter, no woman has just 10 handbags).




In such a simple world where pursuit of happiness is attained through easily procurable material objects, why not indulge ourselves in accessorizing with handbags and attain ultimate salvation?  We are in fall and we are dressed mostly in dark monotone separates, ssometimes with boots.  Why not add some oomph factor to otherwise sulky look, with the weather being sulkier and days short?  Simple recipe is to add a playful pattern, fabric handbags.









Cross-body pattern handbags will pack some energy to your regular, silent day.





















While matching the handbags with your daughter or your niece, you can either match it with same piece in larger version or same pattern different color larger one.




















Selecting an handbag without worrying about your wardrobe is often considered as a return of good karma.  Patterned handbags puts you in that creamy layer.   Irrespective of the pattern of your choice, your monotone outfit would carry it along gracefully.

If you are courageous to experiment pattern on pattern, please put on your editing glasses.  If one pattern is bold and noisy, make the other pattern, demure and soft.  This way the patterns will compliment each other.
