What's In Your Purse?

[Tiramisu]

I always carry a fairly small, plain black purse with just enough pockets for my essentials. My daughters are trying to convince me to carry a more modern and larger purse.

What kind of purse do you carry for "everyday" and what's in it?

[Ponyup]

I carry a small/medium satchel. When I started carrying it I had to find stuff to carry to fill it out. I have my wallet, a notepad & pen, a bottle of pain reliever, a tube of benedril, gum, ect.

I carry a Vera Bradley purse that has 6 pockets along the inside of it. I love this purse. I carry my billfold in the middle of if and in the pockets I have pen and notebook, cellphone and bluetooth earpiece, tic tacs, keys, and Kleenex. I love it that everything has a place and I don't have to hunt for stuff.

Yeah - sounds like I'm doing fine and won't let the girls change me.

Mine isn't too big, just right if I want to take anything else with me...maybe a Yorkie...LOLOL I am looking to find a bit of a smaller one for summer...we'll see.

I carry a small purse so I don't have a lot in it. It has my billfold, chapstick, eye drops, a lot of grocery store receipts, some coupons, medicine, and some other stuff that I can't think of with getting it out and checking. It's gotten messy with all the shopping I did at Christmas so I need to clean it out.

Mine is a mid-size brown leather purse with a shoulder strap.
It has a pocket on the front in which I keep my keys, a small zippered pocket inside in which I keep my nitro tablets, Blistex for my lips, and a small retractable tape measure for when I go to garage sales. In the main part of the purse I have my wallet, tissues, glasses, notepad, pens and Mentos. There's enough room so I can keep my leather driving gloves handy too!
It's nothing fancy, but it has everything I need.

[Janet]

Thanks Tink!! You just reminded me to put my tape measure back in my purse.

[DianaB]

I used to carry a small tape measure too but I hardly used it. Now I need a magnifying glass much worse than I need a tape measure!!!!!!

[Janet]

Like Tink, I use it at garage sales, auctions, and even the stores sometimes. I can't believe I haven't put in back in my purse yet.

[Tink]

LOL Janet, glad to be of help!

I don't use it often, but when I do It sure is nice to have with!

I have a medium size coach bag that I am presently using. I carry a lot of junk.. Let's see now, a makeup pouch with lipstick, blush. Perfume, wallet, credit card holder with house keys, brush , mints. I guess thats it... lol

[rivermom]

Tape measures? Oh my gosh Tink and Diana....Such organization.

Well...I don't have anything great in mine.

A large brown bag, nothing fancy. Inside is a wallet, cig case w/ cigs inside, smushed up old grocery lists, a few lighters, make up bag, keys, and a pad of custom forms I use when I mail stuff to Mandy.

I have a million purses in a million sizes, shapes, and colors But my latest one is probably the biggest I've ever had, and I love it. I carry my wallet, keys, cell phone, lip gloss, compact mirror, gum, and camera. And funny you all should say measuring tape, because my mom just gave me one to take with me to shop for luggage! So I also have a measuring tape in there right now. If I'm going out to a bar or something I also usually throw in some concealer, pressed powder and makeup brush, and eyeliner. Oh and I keep forgetting, but I have little bottles of hand sanitizer that I want to put in there!
Funny though, the one thing everyone always asks for is a pen, and I never have one!

I bought a cloth purse in Costa Rico a few months ago. I have a pencil, pen, checks, small notebook, calendar, wallet, inhaler, and I can't think of anything else. I'm still buried under blankets waiting for it to warm up in here.
