Stick to Solid Color Purses

One way to economize in the closet (and look nicer!) is to purchase solid color purses. I know there are several designers who produce vividly patterned quilted purses (you know who they are), and they look great in the store, but really, how often are you dressed in solid colors top to bottom? Those patterned purses will clash with any outfit that boasts a print top, skirt, jacket or dress. They will languish in your closet until you either give them away or try to sell on consignment. Instead, outfit yourself with basic colors, and you will always look pulled together.
