Yes, I have reached a new low or plateau – whichever way you want to look at it. I’m blogging about the contents of my purse – and this is making me laugh. There is just something about the contents of a purse that intrigues women.
I have been on a mission to locate the perfect bag (for me) for so long I can’t remember a time when I haven’t. I think I may have stumbled on to it at last – the perfect bag I mean; the Fossil Sydney Shopper. This is the most amazing purse as far as I am concerned. It has loads of room on the inside and holds all of what I refer to as my necessities. There are also multiple inside pockets for organizing, and the straps are a great length.
I carry a number of things that I couldn’t possibly do without when I leave the house. I must have my personal planner – of course. I also use it as a wallet. There are a number of sections in my planner, but the most important are the section with my money and cards, and then my calendar, which I use for making appointments while away.
Next, I have a pencil bag, and a little monogrammed pouch for all of those little items you don’t want rolling about in your bag. This pouch also makes changing bags so much easier. I have my pepper spray – of course – who leaves home without that? I also have my flosser (in the toothbrush case) and my keys, along with my cute little Hello Kitty glass case. It’s winter so I carry a neutral color pair of gloves (my matching ones are in various coat pockets.)
The two smaller pouches (blue and little birdies) hold my ear pods for my iPhone and my iPhone charger. That’s about it, unless I toss in my Kindle last-minute.
All of my gear fits quite nicely with room for a water bottle if I want to bring one along. If I adjust everything really well, I can also squeeze my 13″ laptop into my bag. I don’t carry it around often, but should I want to, there is room for it in the bag.
Hope you enjoyed the tour! As the little green lizard (?) says “What’s in your wallet (bag)?”

I love Fossil bags. I had two for Christmas so I can change them around. Lots of pockets inside so I don’t lose my keys amongst all the clutter.
Hi Booketta. Thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to comment. Sounds like you need a clutter buster! lol
I do indeed 🙂
This post caught my eye this morning for a couple of reasons. I think it was on Good Morning America today how the average woman’s purse weighs over 10 pounds, but something like 7 pounds is more ideal for hauling around. The next reason I like this post is because it reminds me of an exercise one of my professors in college would do with composition students. As part of an observation exercise, she would empty the contents of her purse onto a table. Next, students had to write down what they saw and then draw inferences about her lifestyle from the objects. I never tried that one with students because my purse is dreadfully empty…
Thanks for commenting Jeri! That sounds like an intriguing exercise. I wonder what they would write about me…
Looks like you found the perfect bag! Like you, I am always on the lookout for the right one for me. One day it will show up, I just know it.
Too funny. Some women seem to make any bag fit while some of us are always in pursuit for that perfect bag! It will show up eventually. Thanks for stopping by Darlene.
