Seeing Victoria Beckham carry her handbag, one from her new range, reminded me to tell you all about scale.
Scale has nothing to do with weight or shape, it's all to do with getting the proportions right. Some of us have a small scale, so we look great wearing smaller patterns, carrying a cute little bag and wearing fine scale jewellery.
Some of us are medium scale, so we need to up the proportions again with a medium scale print on clothing and wear larger accessories.
Then there are those of us who are what I call grand scale. We suit large patterns and prints, big handbags and the chunkiest of jewellery.
You may be asking why is scale important? Well, if you get it right then your outfit will look just right, just like Goldilocks and baby bear's porridge. If you're small scale and wear accessories and prints that are too big for you, then you will look even tinier. If you're bigger scale and wearing fine scale jewellery and accessories, then these might have the unfortunate effect of making you look bigger than you are.
So what do we think about Victoria and her bag? I'd say she's small scale and should leave the massive bag to grand scale ladies who will look much more in proportion.
