I thought I’d share the current bag I’m carrying with all my goodies inside. I used to prefer bags with lots of pockets but found that my purse ended up messy a lot. I would end up cleaning out all the trash and stuff every week. Then, I went with smaller purses so I wouldn’t accumulate a lot inside but realized I need more room so I needed a new strategy.
I immediately fell in lust with this true Navy Tory Burch Robinson Dome. It’s Saffiano leather with silver accents and patent leather handles and corners. Inside it is lined in jacquard and has a zip and two open pockets.
A peek inside…
Laying it all out for you. To stay organized I have several smaller bags for my stuff.
*Liberty Floral Zip Pouch (sold out but similar here) for make-up, lotion, and safety pins
*Kleenex, Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Bel Ami (LOVE THIS COLOR!), pen, favorite Trident gum
*Lacoste pouch for those monthly “visits” – I remove this and re-stock it immediately so I’m not scrambling around the next month.
*Kate Spade Made in the Shade Sunglasses Coin Purse – see below
*Keys with J Crew Lobster keychain
*Marc by Marc Jacobs Aviators – I keep these in one of the open pockets.
*Bottle opener – You never know when you’ll need one, especially if you find a cold bottled Coke on a hot summer day.
*Kate Spade Pasadena Neda Wallet (from the outlet) – similar
*Shoe keychain with store bonus/reward cards
*Kate Spade metallic pouch for receipts (from the outlet) – Love having my receipts in one place, especially when I’ve decided to return an item. This is the only thing I clean out each month. This smaller than the Gia…love the Comic Gia on sale now.
*Prayer card from my dad’s funeral
I stalked this lovely Kate Spade coin purse online for months. I waited and waited but couldn’t bring myself to buy it. Suddenly one day, last week, it disappeared from the main listing page. I immediately checked Sale and there it was. I was so happy because I also had a 15% off coupon. Yay for patience! Both the Key Fob and the Clutch are on sale too.
If I use a clutch I just take my ID, debit card, and lipstick and tuck in in there. I don’t need anything else for a clutch because I’m usually using it for a dressy or special occasion.
How do you organize your bag?
