Drop It Like It's Haute!

April Showers

Sunshine, blue sky, please go away,
I just bought new rain boots and I want to wear them today
With these boots I’ll look too cute, I hope clouds will amass real soon,
So day after day, I hold out hope for a near monsoon

I know to you it might sound strange,
But I wish it would rain
(Oh how I wish that it would rain, rain, rain, rain)

The Temptations have nothing on me; sing it with me now!!!

Oh Soooo Ready For Spring!!!

I don’t know what the weather is like in your neck of the woods, but here in the Midwest we experienced a real taste of spring last week.  Temperatures reached into the 80s, the grass is turning green, and trees and spring flowers have begun to bud. Today, however, is an entirely different story.  It’s a gray day and SNOWING - - again.  One day soon though, the weather will be suitable for such wonderful spring looks as these, and I am oh soooo ready!!!

Recently I read an article that posed the question, “What does your handbag say about you?”  It suggested that a handbag is an absolute indicator of who a woman is and what her style is.  It went on to identify the following style categories:

The Eternal Prepster: She wears plaid and pearls, and of course, is practical

The Upwardly Mobile Do-Gooder: She is world and environmentally conscious, yet brand aware

The Lady Who Luxes: She’s a label “freak”, works but doesn’t need to, and wears the “it” heels

The Multitasker: She’s safe in her style of dress, but in a cute way;her bag allows for hands free

The Brooklyner: She has no worries about matching accessories; she’s both a participant in and an observer of style

The Power Mom: She likes labels but doesn’t need to show them; her bag must accommodate both her work and her life

The Pantsuit Executive: She wants to be taken seriously; her bag must accommodate a laptop

The Party Girl: She works hard, plays hard, but is young enough to still go out after work

The Early Adopter: She’s on the cutting edge; her bag isn’t functional, but she works it

The Hoarder: She can’t edit what’s in her bag and can’t find what she needs in it; she’s not a “haute mess”…just haute and messy

What do you think?  Do any of these categories “resemble” you?
