Shoes or bags?
Permalink Closed

I have a theory that you are either a "shoe girl" or a "bag girl." Now, one can love shoes and bags but generally, you really do love one more than the other. So, which one are you? 


I'll go first. I am a bag girl. Shoes to me are almost a waste. They touch dirt and mud and icky ground all day. I'd be too scared to spend a lot of money on something that could easily get into doggie poo or chewed gum. And for some reason, I never notice a persons shoes. I LOVE my bags though. They're easy to take care of, a bag can make an outfit, bags always fit, and people seem to notice a great bag. Man, this makes me want a new one!

I'm definitely a shoe girl! I just can't resist them! But lately I find myself not wanting to invest in shoes because of the fact they can get easily ruined.

I'm a shoe girl, mostly because I can't afford to be a bag girl.


The problem with me and bags is that my bag taste is VERY expensive and very much heirloom/classic. I have a hard time buying a bag that's cheap (meaning cheaer than Coach)  and I am personally anti-knockoff/inspired by bags for myself. I definitely don't have the funds to invest in a collection of Hermes, Chanel, Celine, YSL, and LV bags though I assure you I would have a kick-ass purse collection if I did have said funds.

definitely shoes, even though i tend to stick to wearing the same old comfy flats and sneaks.

but bags...i love fun, colorful bags, but don't think i've ever spent more than $30 on one, ever. at some point, i'd like a really classic leather tote for work and looking grown up...there's just always something else i'd rather spend $$$ on!

Shoes all the way

I'm the exact same way as kate about bags. I change my purse probably every other week & if I had a very high $$ bag I just think I'd feel guilty not using it all the time.
I used to not get the expensive bag thing - now I get it & would like to have something classic one day, but I'm gonna need way more money to not feel guilty about it. Like after I have a house & a new car....

I love my shoes!!


I like bags too but am too picky. I have been looking for months for a new one that I like, but can't find anything I like thats remotely affordable.

Shoe girl for sure. I just can't get into bags, once I change purses I carry it for months.

Bags... Big, beautiful expensive bags.. DEFINATELY.


For me, Shoes just get dirty, gross and ruined each season. They are disposable for me and rarely spend more than $100 on a pair.

I think I am both, but I would say I am probably more of a shoe girl because there are more cheaper cute shoes than cheaper cute handbags.  However, I have tons of handbags.  I would love to be a handbag girl, but I guess I feel like they need to be nice handbags where as cute shoes come in all price ranges.  Weird I know.

Definitely shoes (I'm sure this comes as no surprise). I have issues with bags - I won't spend in the high-dollar range for a handbag, and I am weird about bags too. They have to be just the "right" shape or size, which I can never, ever seem to find. I'm kind of like Goldilocks with handbags. It's a strange thing.

Shoes, on the other hand - besides a good hair day, which is rare, nothing makes me feel sexier than a great pair of shoes. I love pointy-toes and love to choose outfits based on what shoes I want to wear. Plus I am a total heels girl; people are often amazed when they see me in flats (rarely) and they always seem to think I'm 2-3" taller than I am...because I wear heels so often.

I currently have slightly under 50 pairs of shoes (not counting things like tennies and functional shoes) and two more pair on the way. Handbags, OTOH, I have about...ten.

ETA: my shoes are definitely not disposable. I am careful with them and they last me for years and years.

Bags. They always fit!!

I love shoes too, but I wear size 11 so it's hard to find ones that fit right. So I'm kind of limited as to the brands/styles I can get.

im definitely a shoe girl! while i have a lot of purses and bags, i find it much harder to justify another bag than another pair of shoes. this probably has a lot to do with the fact that im in school and only carry my big honking computer/messenger bag every day. i rarely even carry a regular purse.


now mind you....the big honking computer messenger bag is really cute and sassy and probably could never carry a plain bag that wasn't totally me.


but shoes, god love shoes!

This is exactly me, too.

i agree w/your theory! i am a bag girl 100%. i can't wear shoes if they aren't comfy, they make me too miserable... so its alot harder for me to find cute shoes and once i find a pair i like, i tend to buy them in multiple colors and stick w/them throughout the season. pretty boring! but i absolutely love and am obsessed w/purses! can not have enough of them.

I love both. I tend to go through phases where I like either one or the other. Right now, I am in a shoe phase.

Definitely bags! I love vintage so I don't spend a lot of money on mine.
