Mostly A's: You like to keep it simple, so look for a small bag that won't cramp your style. Messenger bags or other chic over-the-shoulder purses are a great choice for you.
Mostly B's: You are practical and always on the move, so you need a bag that reflects your busy lifestyle. Look for structured bags with many pockets to accommodate your always changing needs.
Mostly C's: A big, bold bag is a great choice for your style and needs. Oversize bags are a great choice for the fashion-forward who want to stay on top of the latest trends.
No matter what bag you choose, you should always keep your bag well organized and only carry what you absolutely need.
