I think many of us purse enthusiasts are guilty of buying bags and displaying them–enjoying them as pieces of art and not as fashionable, usable items. While I love to see bag collections that are displayed in an organized and visible tower or shelves, I do think sometimes bags rule the wearer.
Always take a moment and recall that your things are meant to be used. Enjoy your life and have a moment of happiness using your things. If you are worried about your bag being damaged be sure to be on guard for color transfer and only carry it when doing the most mundane of errands [ie. getting a coffee or mocha frap.]
Your possessions are your nice trinkets, do not put them above yourself. They are there to be enjoyed, even if just by the eye!
