I don't really feel it's expected of me... and I went for years without being bothered at all.
But in general... I like them. I think they're pretty. They make me feel sexy. They never make me feel fat and I never leave a shoe store feeling worse about myself. (I know it's not cool to admit that clothes shopping can have that effect on me, but it can.)
I don't have more than I can possibly use, I wear every pair I own occasionally. I love that I have enough that I don't just wear the same ones over and over again, as they each still feel special when I put them on.

Heh. Completely opposite for me on make-up.
Nothing can make me feel like a totally crap girl faster. I have no idea what to do with any of it and yet I worry that I need it and people are wondering why I don't bother to put any on.

It's socially acceptable facepaint honest! No one needs make up.

There was an interesting article in yesterday's Observer magazine which said that "according to a survey carried out at a shopping centre in August, the average 30-year-old British woman owns 21 handbags at any given time, and buys a new one every three months (spending up to £380 a go)."
Full article here:

It makes me feel quite good about the fact that I only have 11 (and the most expensive cost £156).

Someone has my other 19 then. Not that my bag is a handbag, tis an army kit/gasmask bag thing.
I can't remember the last time I wore anything higher than kitten heels tbh.
I do like boots though, oh yes
I have never seen a single episode of the Sex/city thing

If anyone is flying from Luton the KG shop there has a sale, though I suspect there will always be some shoes in a sale there. Didn't see anything that shouted on me though

I guess designer bags appeal because they're a designer thing anyone can wear, and they can last for more than a season.Geri said:
People do delude themselves about these things, though. I noticed a woman once on the tube with a teeny-tiny Louis Vuitton bag, which I took to be genuine, absolutely stuffed to the brim. Now, presumably she'd bought this so, on some level, she could look classy and like the sort of woman who can afford an LV bag. But the sort of person who could afford LV bags easily would never, ever be seen, daaahling, with it overfull (she'd have someone following behind carrying her stuff if she needed more things), so really the woman I saw just seemed to be showing she was just determined to use her expensive bag, even though she could only afford the tiniest one. But I'm pretty sad for analysing that much, frankly.

I don't really like any of the very expensive designer ones - most of them are pretty hideous. I'd quite like a Mulberry bag though, they are fairly plain and good quality, but I just can't bring myself to pay out that much for one bag.
I did get a Lush Paddington (copy of a Chloe) and it was so flipping heavy it made my arm ache carrying it around.

I like the mens Mulberry bags better than the womens - the leather is alot nicer and they are more practical. They don't cost so much either and they won't date. 'It' bags are a nightmare. They weigh about half a stone before you put anything in them.

I don't wear or like high heels, and 99.9999999999% of all handbags in the shops seem to me unbelievably ugly and impractical. As long as I've got one useful one which doesn't clash too horribly with anything, that'll do me. And I wouldn't really call it a handbag actually, because I would never buy anything I had to actively carry or keep hitching up.
i used to wear killer heels which looked great but then back problem made it really difficult to wear the heels, there are fab boots and shoes around with lesser heels, and I think biker boots worn with a amore feminie skirt can look excellent.
Handbags - purely a bag to hold stuff.

Papingo said:The thing about shoes and handbags is you don't have to be 5'8" and a size 10 to fit them. So less angst when shopping for them.
You still have to be able to fit into shoes though. I love the look of loads of shoes, but I can't wear heels any more and I have stupidly wide feet and high arches.
Bags are suitable for anyone, unless you don't have any arms.

You're in the minority of men that I know then. Paging bluestreak! Counterpoint needed!
when I think bikers boots I'm imagining like big men's work boots or army boots or doc martens....maybe they are something different over there?May Kasahara said:
