Handbags a health hazard, women warned This is why I carry a very small purse. My mom used to carry one that had everything in it, and it was very heavy, and she was so very small. Not for me, I have enough aches to deal with.
And yet, the fashion books I've been reading says that I must have a larger purse because I am a larger person, as a small purse looks "out of proportion" to my body size. Well, they also tell me to wear high heals for that long leg flattering look. Call me unsexy and out of proportion then, because my health matters more than looking lean and sexy, and ending up in pain.
