Make A Real Statement With A Pink Bag

Blue for a Boy, Pink for a Girl!
Some people might think that this is just blatant gender stereotyping but is it? Interestingly, babies were generally dressed in white up until the mid nineteenth century when they started to introduce pastel colours but even then it wasn't gender specific. In fact it only started to become gender specific towards the end of the First World War but ironically it was actually pink for a boy and blue for a girl. The reason being is that pink was seen as the stronger colour. It was only since the 1980's when we started to have mass production that it flipped to become what is generally accepted today, blue for a boy and pink for a girl.

Pink is a fabulous colour and is for everyone. I hate gender stereotyping such as boys playing with construction sets, wearing superhero tees and girls playing with dolls and princess tees. 

Why Pink?
Actually pink is a very versatile colour when accessorising and it makes a great accent colour to your outfit, especially to darker colours such as blue, green, brown or black. This can work very well the other way round as well so these colour compliment with your pink outfit. In fact I don't think you can overdue pink. There are plenty of people out there that are just pink crazy, even their cars are pink. To me that is a particular look I wouldn't choose for myself but who am I to judge. Plus there are plenty of variants to choose from ranging from the nudes and soft pinks right through to the fuchsia pinks and magenta's. These darker pinks are perfect for when you want to make a real statement with a pink handbag

Choosing a Pink Statement Bag
Choosing the right style of handbag for your needs is more of a logical choice whereas choosing a pink option is more of an emotional choice. Consider then the style and what to want the handbag for. By asking yourself a few simple questions will help you to make the right decision about choosing the right handbag? Is it to go with an outfit or more of a general purpose bag? What do I need to carry in it? This will help you determine the best size but also be mindful of your own stature. If you're petite for instance then a large bag may proof awkward to carry. Also think about whether the look you're after is smart or casual. If it's casual then maybe a hobo style shoulder bag is what you're for. For a smarter look choose a bag that is more structured. 

As already mentioned there are many different variants of pink. Nude pink is very much a colour of the moment but for some they would prefer something a little more vibrant to add a pop of colour.
