Buy a purse that goes with your personality

A woman’s handbag is considered to be her best friend. Apart from its utility value, many women are fond of collecting handbags so that they could use them on different occasions, even sometimes to match their attire.

Fashion designers stress on the fact that ‘a purse reflects one’s personality’ and feng shui experts, too, agree with this point of view to an extent. Feng shui experts believe that ‘a good purse makes you feel confident’.

Here are some tips that will help you in arranging your purse properly.

Elevate your purse

You will never find a man placing his wallet on the floor. However, women generally place their purse or handbags on the floor all the time, be it a restroom, a restaurant, or place of work. Always keep your purse a bit elevated and at a distance from the floor.

Keep it clean

Don’t just pick up things and stuff them in your purse. Women generally forget about the things after they put them in their purse. You actually trash in the same place where you are carrying your wealth.

Mind the change

Try not to throw all small coins into your purse, as they will then go deep into your purse. It is disrespect for money. Buy a coin purse.

In case of emergency

Avoid keeping any sharp-edged things in your purse such as a safety pin, a knife etc. These things attract negativity.

Activate your purse

Try to keep some of the feng shui charms in your purse. You can always hang an evil eye, some I-ching coins, bells or other good luck items with the chain or at other places.

Buy thoughtfully

Get a purse with good number of apartments to keep all the small items individually and one that fits on your shoulder comfortably. Arrange your purse in such a way that you can easily find the things that you are looking for. This is called ‘balancing’ of an area in feng shui, which enhances the productivity of the space.

Wealth colour

Buy a purse with a colour that stimulates your wealth and gives you some good opportunities. Green is a good colour. Blue is an evergreen colour for bags. Brown is the earth colour, which helps in generating more wealth.

Though black is fashionable but then it also absorbs all negativity, too; avoid it if possible. Red constitutes the fire element and hence should be avoided as who wishes to carry something fiery on her shoulder?

In the end just remember not to buy just any bag unless you fall in love with it.
