A small rant...

Dear people who decide what fashion is and isn't:

I like you well enough. The things coming out these days are nice and pretty and I do like the advent of lovely materials and things.

However, I do have one quibble.

Mightn't you decide to make handbags with long straps fashionable (read: easily accessible) again? I mean, the sweet ickle things for an evening out? Perfect with the teeny strap. I love them. They are cute and pretty and prosh.

However. When I must lug a glucose meter, day planner, iPod, cellphone, and a wallet the size of half a brick around town? The short strapped "big" purses are...ridiculous, to say the least. I do not like something the size of a piglet that close to my armpit.

I should not have to worry about deodorant stains on a HANDBAG.

And I should NOT have to get something from Wal-Mart that is ugly as sin in order to carry what I need to carry. It is Annoying. *nods*

So. Let's review: for evening and cute parties? ickle purses with short straps, very nice.

For Everyday life? Give me a big-ass purse with a strap that does not make the bag be like...another breast. A strap which puts the bag at about waist length or near hip length is perfect.

Thank you for your time.

I hate purses so I carry a backpack. Sure it makes me look like a high schooler, but I'm more comfortable with a cheap backpack on my back than any form of fashionable purse under my arm/at my waist/unadjustable strap down to my knees. But then I'm lugging around snacks, cloth diapers (which are bulky), toys, crayons, notebooks, and various other things... I'm not sure even a big purse would work for that. :P
