    What your bag-holding style says about you

    It contains the most valuable items in a woman's life—keys, iPhone, wallet, and lip gloss, just to name a few—yet many of us don't realize that how we hold our bags speaks volumes about our personalities. Body language expert Patti Wood outlined for Refinery29 the 10 most popular methods for holding a purse and what it says about you.  - By Elise Sole
