I have a friend who changes bags and shoes everyday according to the color of her clothes. her accesories go with the color of the day too. me, i only use the same bag every day. I use my 2 year old brown leather bag every day because I am very comfortable with it. I only change bags on special occassions like parties or out with friends day. I change shoes if my old reliable sketcher slip ons doesnt go with my out fit,but this seldom happens. I dont like to be changing bags-transferring things to another bag everyday...so ah, tiring. how about you?

Your friend must be very rich to own such possessions. Anyways I am a guy so I am not fond of having a lot of bags. I still go to school so I do need a bag to hold my stuff. I have only two bags for school Yes, two. How poor of me. Anyways, I change bags when the other one gets dirty. That is my simple rule for changing bags. My bags look old but not torn. They just don't look brand new. But it doesn't matter anyways. I find them extremely useful. Although I wish sometimes I don't need to bring a bag at school because it is so heavy with books inside! Ugh, why can't our school provide us with lockers? Oh well, this is another issue. Hehe.

I thought so too that she must be very rich to own so much bags and shoes...but then i found out she got hold of so much through the years. she preserved everything.the problem is,they are everywhere!one closet will not hold them. do not say you are poor because you only have 2 bags...just be rich in spirit. my kids' school provide lockers,but i dont allow them to rent one because they will just leave their school stuff behind to avoid studying at home. when you're done with school---im sure you'd find a good job...then you can get a nice bag. my son likes nike bags.very expensive.

Yeah that's the positive side of having no lockers. You don't tend to forget stuff at school when you need them most. Well thanks for that. Anyways, I like Chuck Taylor bags (one of my bags) and also Diesel bags (my other one).

i know some women pay close attention to their appearance. they spend a lot of time and enery on it. my sister-in-law spends an hour making up before she goes to work every day. she has several bags to match her different clothes and shoes. i think it's so tiring. i only have two bags, one is big, the other is small for different use. perhaps we two go to two extremes. i should pay a little more attention to my appearance while she spend less time and energy.

Hi, I don't often change my bags, as I would tend to forget putting in things that I might need. I use only 2 bags. One I would take everywhere I go - work, shopping, anywhere - this has all my stuff inside, car keys, house keys, office keys, notepads, tissues, compact, comb, lipstick, other stuff. The other is a smaller one, that I use for evening or outings, when I don't need to bring all the keys, notepads, whatsoever.

you are very right!one time I was not able to transfer my ID case to the other bag i was using...I could not do a thing since all ID's and cards were left behind.

i think what you do is very practical...using one that goes with any other colors. i sometimes tend to wear shoes that matches the color of my shirt...or sometimes,a bag that has the same color with the shoes...but it takes time or sometimes, i feel ridiculously color coordinated.

i do not really change bags often. I actually use one bag which my sister gave me because it is comfortable to use. Then if it becomes dirty, i can change to another bag until the one i like is clean and ready to be used again.

wow your friend is really particular about her outlook. i'm a lazy person so i only use one bag. i use it regardless of what i am wearing. this is the main reason why i bought the bag. it goes with pretty much everything and everywhere. when i do charge bags, i'll just pour the content of one bag into another. it's much easier and i won't forget anything. only time i don't do this is when i'm not carrying a bag so i'll just bring the necessary. cheers ;p

Back when I was younger I used to change bags ever so often because of the colors that I wear. But now that I am older and wiser, I have toned down and went for a bag that is universal to all the colors. Since it is difficult movign all the stuff from one bag to another. I vowed to stick to a black simple bag that will keep my stuff safe and still trendy.

hi there chingbeem.. i dont really like to keep on changing bags..if there's any occasions like weddings,birthdays,anniversary's,parties and etc... i only stick to a one bag.. whenever i buy bags i make sure its durable and suites to all/any kind of occasions.. weather it cost me..its ok as long as its really worth to buy..hehehe! i just change my bag if its already destroyed.. im not into bags,maybe thats why i only stick to a one bag.. i bought a new bag last month and its very beautiful and elegant as well.. i bought it on sale...even though its still expensive im still eager to buy it cause i never had a bag like this... and its very tiring for me to keep changing bags..very hassle... thanks! keep on smiling! cheers!
