To complicate matters, each item is weighted. I would probably divide the criteria into quality, style, functionality, durability and versatility. I give the most weight to quality. Other friends value functionality above all, but those bags often end up looking a bit ugly. <BR/><BR/>And you are so sweet to give Bonnie all the time she needs. <BR/><BR/>Miss H, embarrassed?Susan Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178330935523896363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110153203470551170.post-2109776447775197272008-12-15T18:11:00.000-08:002008-12-15T18:11:00.000-08:00OMG!

I've observed Bonnie numerous times, shopping for the perfect purse. The perfect purse seems to be a lifelong pursuit, like searching for the Holy Grail.<BR/><BR/>When in tow with Bonnie, while she is in purse mode, my first instinct was to tag along in silence. But, being a Myers & Briggs INTJ, I really felt impressed to put purse shopping into a rational system.<BR/><BR/>1. Is the brand name important?<BR/>2. Color.<BR/>3. Strap length.<BR/>4. Compartments/pockets. Too many? Not enough?<BR/>5. Basic shape.<BR/>6. Material.<BR/>7. How do I look holding it? This is the mirror test.<BR/>8. How does it feel on my shoulder? In my hand?<BR/>9. Will it be used for work only? Will it be an all encompassing purse?<BR/><BR/>I used these questions on ONE occasion to help Bonnie narrow her search and use a systematic approach. I was curious if this would actually work in a real world situation. <BR/><BR/>While at Macy's, we gradually eliminated down to a Guess. She bought it. Not the perfect purse, but this one would replace her Coach. <BR/><BR/>Does the perfect purse exist? Probably not. Am I going to use this system every time Bonnie shops for a purse? Absolutely NOT. Purse shopping is one of those activities Bonnie enjoys without all the analytical mumbo jumbo. Kind of like listening to a friend's problem. I only give feedback if asked. Most people appreciate an ear that will listen. With Bonnie, I'm there to provide support,if needed.<BR/><BR/>I love it when I say, "Take your time, Sweetie" and she gives me a big smile.

I think you're right about the blue jeans. Since I have so few clothes that fit me properly, I've been dressing up my blue jeans a lot. I also found a pair of beautiful vintage, never used, chrome trays from Italy. Very clean and modern looking with delicate etchings of ferns.Susan Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178330935523896363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9110153203470551170.post-38943998422369052722008-12-14T20:33:00.000-08:002008-12-14T20:33:00.000-08:00I love it!
