Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee, I have several handbags that are "fancy" with flowers, rhinestones, and feathers. Would these be appropriate for evening functions, or should the handbag match the outfit. For example, I will be wearing a simple sleeveless velvet dress, so should the evening bag be velvet and simple, too? Signed, Evening Etiquette Dear Evening Etiquette, No, the evening bag need not match the dress fabric, and need not be simple. While many women prefer that their evening purse be understated, it is not necessary. So, carry a fancy handbag and have fun. |
