A basic purse is the one that you will wear most often, based on its simple style and functionality. There are many different styles for basic bags but they are generally worn because of comfort and utility. When it comes to selecting your basic purse try it on to make sure it is comfortable and has enough storage for your daily essentials. This purse should not be ordered online unless you know it is exactly what you want and have tried it before. Basic purses should be a reflection of yourself so if you love color get one in your favorite shade. If you are looking for a more neutral purse that will go with many different outfits, basic black is a great choice because it goes with everything. Looking at the pros and cons of purses that you already own is a great way of figuring out what you want and don’t want in your basic everyday purse. Look for a purse that has a somewhat thicker strap so that it will not dig into your shoulder. Since your basic purse will be worn often, think about it as an investment. You may want to spend a bit more on this purse so that it lasts through daily wear. Basic purses are available at many fine retailers including Marshalls and Aldo.
