The Big Question: Bags or Shoes?

I love direct questions like this.  It forces you to say where your heart is and it’s the age old question in fashion to be honest.

Like the above photo of Natalie Joos that I took during fashion week.  What do you gravitate to between the bag and the shoes? The answer is probably what you have more of in your wardrobe.

For me I’m a shoe girl, even though I own some beautiful bags.  Shoes were always the first love and regardless how many bags come along, it’ll probably stay that way (I think).

When I walk into shops, it’s the shoe section that I gravitate to (with bags checked right after).

.  .  .

Question:  Are you more of a bag or a shoe woman?

    I love shoes! I have way too many. My husband is always asking why I need more shoes and now we have to put up shelves in the basement to hold them.

      Ugh this sounds like me! My shoe shelves wouldn’t exist if I didn’t have the addiction. Same with the basement take over

    I’m definitely a shoes girl as well, but sometimes I wonder if it’s because they’re cheaper. I love bags almost as much as I love shoes, but if shoes were to cost as much as bags did, would I still be a shoe girl? I also find myself gravitating towards the shoe section first too, but only because I know they’re cheaper.

    • Karen Blanchard says:

      That’s a good point about the price. I do think that adds to the appeal because it’s more attainable. I do wonder if bags and shoes were equally priced what women would be drawn to though….

    I’m a bag girl. Shoes are cool, but it can be hard to find cute stuff in my size because size 10.5 is rare. Plus I don’t wear heels very often… Even so, when I buy a bag, I assess my shoe collection first to see if I have anything that will work with that style and color because I consider those details when getting dressed: if I don’t know what to wear, I’ll build an outfit off a pair of shoes or a bag 🙂

    • Karen Blanchard says:

      Ah we have a similar shoe size although I find it’s now a lot better at finding shoes to fit our feet. I often am relieved my feet aren’t smaller because I worry that I’d have way more shoes that I already do! I agree on checking what the shoe inventory is like before buying a bag! Yes I think a few of us dress around bags or shoes, they’re that big of a deal!

  7. Lorena Lorena says:

    I was a shoe girl now transformed to a bag girl. Meaning I have too many of both.

  8. Tina- Lynn says:

    I always hold on to the truth. I’m a shoe whore! I won’t compromise. Shoes are my firm foundation. I like unique well made shoes that last a long time. My shoes can tell you the story of my life.

    • Karen Blanchard says:

      wow sounds like a collective shoe pic is required ; )

    Bags, bags and more bags! If my space at home wasn’t limited, I’d own ten times more bags than I already do! 🙂

    • Karen Blanchard says:

      It’s probably a good thing we have limited space! LOL!!

    Oh, man. this is tough, because I have a lot of both. No, really. A lot. Too many. But at the end of the day, the shoes win. Always have, always will.

  12. Catherine says:

    Definitely shoes. Not really a bag lady myself.

  14. Mol C. Nichols says:

    I think I am more of a bag girl, I do have tons of shoes but I gravitate to bags first.

    Shoe girl here!
